The Moni Way
This is a moving first-hand account of the astonishing lives and challenges facing the Moni people, who live in one of the most fantastic places on earth. The remote and ancient jungle highlands of western Papua New Guinea remain largely cut off from the rest of the world. Technologically, it is among the most ‘backward’ regions in the world, with no cars, televisions, dishwashers, or any other devices that rely on an electrical grid. Yet, in many ways, the hearts of the Moni people are as advanced as those in any community in the world.
In this beautifully illustrated book, John expresses his deep affection for his Moni friends and neighbors, while also addressing his heartfelt concerns for their uncertain future.
