These insights are filled with wisdom about how respect for nature is central to the future of humankind. Stoller demonstrates how the ethnographic evocation of space and place, the honing of dialogue, and the crafting of character depict the drama of social life, and borrows techniques from film, poetry, and fiction to expand the appeal of anthropological knowledge and heighten its ability to connect the public to the idiosyncrasies of people and locale. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eWisdom from the Edge \u003c\/i\u003eunderscores the importance of recognizing and applying indigenous wisdom to the social problems that threaten the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Writing Ethnography in Turbulent Times\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: The Senses in Artful Ethnography\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.
