I covered the book in clear contact paper before I used it for the class...the result is a very durable wear-resistant paperback. The book is in excellent shape.

Description

From Amazon.com:

<p> This classic paperback is available once again--and exclusively--from Harvard University Press. </p><p> This book is the story of the life of Nisa, a member of the !Kung tribe of hunter-gatherers from southern Africa's Kalahari desert. Told in her own words--earthy, emotional, vivid--to Marjorie Shostak, a Harvard anthropologist who succeeded, with Nisa's collaboration, in breaking through the immense barriers of language and culture, the story is a fascinating view of a remarkable woman. </p>
