In the third edition of Return to Eden, David H. Turner returns to his groundbreaking study of the Indigenous people of Amagalyuagba in northern Australia. As in the first two editions, published in 1989 and 1996, Turner recounts the Indigenous people's own theoretical interpretation of their society and history, and brings that interpretation to life in a journey with them through the sacred landscape of Bickerton Island, Groote Eylandt, and the adjacent mainland. In a new preface, Turner reflects on his fieldwork and on the fate of the people of the region, whose way of life continues to be challenged by mining, economic development, and the effects of ongoing contact with the outside world. Turner argues that the worldview of the people he studied may, in fact, allow access to a deeper and more meaningful interpretation of reality itself--a perspective that could prove of utmost importance in addressing the global challenges of the twenty-first century.
