Book 2 Post 1

 For my second book, I chose The Wayfinders by Wade Davis. I chose this book because I've always been fascinated by history and how it has affected the present day and whether or not there have been certain repeating patterns in history. I thought it was interesting that the author explored and traveled to different regions to understand how those people lived. I also though the question of the book: What does it mean to be human and alive? would be though provoking in terms of hearing what the author thinks compared to how different types of groups thought about the question.

After starting the book, I thought it was super interesting to see how past cultures all had significant interactions and connections with nature. I like how the author describes this as the "biological matrix of life" to show how everything in nature overlaps and connects. Even though I consider myself a nature person, I definitely don't have the same relationship with nature as the native groups do. I'm definitely interested in continuing to read the book to see how human relationship with nature and language has changed over time and where it will going toward in the future.
