Living Tribes by Colin Prior

A vast array of unique ethnic cultures still inhabits the world. Though some are fast disappearing, others have managed to retain their identity in the face of today's relentless pressure for globalization. This volume of photography records the surviving ways of life of 15 of the world's most individual tribes and ethnic groups.
- 'Colin Prior has brought to the conventional coffee-table book of illustrations of Scotland's scenery a style.. revolutionary and thrilling.' Magnus Magnusson on Highland Wilderness - This is a rare and beautiful record, a work of art, a magic portal through which we enter a higher spiritual plane.' - Bruce Stannard, Scots Magazine on Scotland: The Wild Places
For the past decade, Scottish photographer Colin Prior has journeyed more than a million miles seeking out the world's last wild places and peoples. His tribal images have won him numerous awards. Living Tribes includes introductions by Carolyn Fry, editor of Geographical, the magazine of the Royal Geographical Society.
