Cet ouvrage vient illustrer des fragments de vies de peuples « nomades », passés et actuels, d’Afrique, d’Asie, des Amériques du nord et du sud ou d’Europe, sous différentes facettes (habitats, productions matérielles, organisation économique et territoriale, sociale, rites et croyances, art). Ce mode de vie a prévalu pendant des millions d'années avant qu'un autre,…
