Item description from seller

First edition, first printing As new and bright in like dust jacket with crisp bright text. A wonderful survey of the anthropologist Robert Gardner's work which he surveyed throughout his nonfiction filmmaking. His legendary films included "Dead Birds" "Rivers of Sand" and "Forest of Bliss". Contains the thoughts and images of a lifetime spent probing human experience in the world's most remote corners. Exquisite collection with film stills and photographs and many in color with portraits. The title comes from the Philip Larkin poem "The impulse to preserve lies at the bottom of all art". New and bright all around. The book also showcases the best author's photograph of any book.
