Wisdom Sits in Places: Landscape and Language Among the Western Apache by Keith H. BassoMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Having started this book, I almost left it unfinished after the first part. I still don't know why I had it in my wishlist. Regardless, it is definitely a unique book. This is part linguistics, part anthropology, part philosophy, all dealing with the Western Apache. The idea of "place-making" is, as far as I can tell, unique, and yet there are echoes of it in other cultures I'm sure.
No matter who you are, this is almost definitely what Tyler Cowen refers to as a "view quake" book.
