false 133337 7 In this impressive, funny and moving work, Joe Kane tells the story of the Huaorani, a tribe living in the deepest part of the Amazonian rain forest in Ecuador. The Huaorani have only in the last generation been exposed to such items as the wristwatch. But the modern world is reaching them quickly; for better or worse--usually worse--they live astride some of Ecuador's richest oilfields. Oil production in the Amazon has opened the forest to colonization and industrialization, often with alarming results: about 17 million gallons, of raw crude, more than in the Valdez spill in Alaska, were spilled from a Amazon pipeline between 1972 and 1989. Kane, who lived with the Huaorani for months, immaculately reports on the tribes' connections with the old world and its battles with the new one. 128446 1995 Savages total:128|5:40|4:57|3:25|2:5|1:1| 128 514 167 32 5 1 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 27 21:22:52 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 16 13:20:26 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Apr 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 14:41:27 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 18:58:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Tue Dec 16 18:20:12 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 16 18:21:56 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Tue Sep 15 08:58:43 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 09:16:14 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun Jun 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 10:23:10 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 10:28:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jan 22 21:08:12 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 21:09:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Oct 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed May 27 08:49:46 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 09:43:30 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Apr 26 20:28:27 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 20:31:10 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon May 12 10:12:04 -0700 2008 Mon May 12 10:23:09 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sun Apr 26 15:46:26 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 19:12:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 14 14:15:46 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 24 12:28:38 -0800 2008 Mon Sep 14 14:15:46 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun May 31 14:36:49 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 14:38:36 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Feb 28 15:06:43 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 18:32:06 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Mar 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 22:44:53 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 22:49:10 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Dec 31 12:38:06 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 12:38:46 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 23 08:21:53 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 23 08:26:44 -0800 2007
