Tribe: Adventures in a Changing World

by: Bruce Parry

July 03, 2008
I am a massive fan of the tribe TV series, and it only seemed logical to get the book after watching it, so after receiving it I sat down and read the whole thing through, which was no challenge due to the books fantastic writing and incisive reporting.

The best aspect I found was that the book does not re-tell the series, more so it fills in the background for each tribe, the people behind the series, and the events that were either not captured on camera or deemed not suitable for broadcast - it delves into the less glamorous side of filming, the ailments, the problems, the danger, while keeping the nostalgic story of each tribe intact

A superb read and as stated above, a great partner to the TV series

I love this book. Once you start flicking through you can't put it down. Full of all sorts of fascinating things you always wanted to know, and very funny too. Plus some serious stuff about environmental threats we all face, and some great photos!
Thank you - just the perfect prezzy for all those rellies I usually end up scratching my head over!

Tribe: Adventures in a Changing World

I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could... As a fan of the series I would like to echo the other reviews - I was hoping for more of a background/more detail of the experiences Bruce Parry had during his time with the Tribes. To a certain extent this does happen towards the end of the book, when more detail about the visits is given. The first few chapters read more like brief diary entries and summaries of the TV programmes, whereas the later chapters are more detailed and vivid. I'm glad I bought it as it does contain some wonderful insight and information, as well as the photos, of course! Thanks, Bruce and the Beeb, for making the series. I look forward to the 'Amazon' book soon.
