520    "Mapping Time, Space and the Body: Indigenous Knowledge 
       and Mathematical Thinking in Brazil brings people, land 
       and numbers together in the fight for justice. On this 
       extraordinary voyage through ancestral territories in 
       central and southern Brazil, the Xavante, Suyá, Kayabi, 
       and other local nations use mapping as a tool to protect 
       their human rights to lands and resources they have 
       traditionally owned and acquired. Mathematics activities 
       inside the classroom and in everyday life help explain how
       Indigenous Peoples understand the cosmos and protect the 
       living beings that helped create it. The book is a welcome
       contribution to a growing literature on the mathematical 
       and scientific thinking of Indigenous Peoples around the 
       globe. It makes mathematics alive and culturally relevant 
       for students of all national backgrounds worldwide. 'A 
       brilliant marriage of ethnography and mathematics written 
       with deep understanding and obvious affection for the 
       peoples she observed.' -- James A. Wiley, Ph.D. Professor,
       University of California at San Francisco, USA.  'This 
       original and beautifully illustrated book offers a vivid 
       study of Indigenous Peoples in Brazil. The author develops
       theoretical approaches and research methodologies to 
       understand the way cultural groups deal with their natural
       and social environments.' -- Ubiratan D'Ambrosio, Ph.D. 
       Emeritus Professor, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 
       Brazil. 'Mapping Time, Space and the Body is destined to 
       create new and enlightened research in Ethnomathematics. 
       It is an essential read for all of us working with culture
       and social justice in the realm of mathematics.' -- Daniel
       Clark Orey, Ph.D. Professor, Universidade Federal de Ouro 
       Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Emeritus Professor, 
       California State University, Sacramento, USA. Cover photo 
       by Mariana K. Leal Ferreira, 1998: Romdó Suyá, ceremonial 
       leader of the Suyá people in the Xingu Indigenous Park."--
