For centuries, the Yanomami people have lived in the vast and unforgiving Our Book Library rainforest. They are one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer societies in the world, and their way of life is intimately connected to the natural world.

But the Yanomami are under threat. Their rainforest is being destroyed by logging, mining, and oil drilling. Their people are being killed by disease, violence, and genocide.

At The End Of An Age is a journey through the dying Yanomami world. It is a story of survival and resistance, of loss and hope.

The book is written by Patrick Tierney, a journalist who has spent decades working with the Yanomami. Tierney has witnessed firsthand the devastating impact that the outside world is having on their culture.

At The End Of An Age is a powerful and moving account of a way of life that is disappearing forever. It is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of the rainforest and its people.
