Sergey Yastrzhembsky's new book presents fifty stories that complement and explain the author's amazing photographs taken during expeditions.
Yastrebfilm Studios team and Sergey Yastrzhembsky traveled to every continent, shot over 70 films, and witnessed rituals preserved by peoples often numbering no more than a few hundred.

The essays describe the practices of indigenous peoples from Africa to Oceania: Bushmen horseback hunting in the Kalahari, monkey hunting among the Raute tribe in Nepal, the burial of a chieftain's skull in Vanuatu, and much more.
The author participated in whale hunts in the Far North, witnessed warrior initiation ceremonies among African tribes, was a guest at a Berber wedding, and witnessed unique shamanic and voodoo rituals. This is a story about personal experiences from the filming, many of which involved serious risk. The rituals captured are virtually impossible for outsiders to see today—they provide unique material from a vanishing world.
The publication includes over 250 color photographs.
