Eighteen thousand Kamoro live along the southwestern coast of New Guinea. Their ancestors first roamed this land more than 50,000 years ago. This work provides an account of a culture that is rapidly disappearing and the wrenching process of change that the Kamoro have had to endure.

Between the Tides is an engrossing work that combines storytelling, humour, history, natural history, and political and cultural observations. David Pickell's relationship to the Kamoro is sensitive and deeply personal, and Kal Muller's accompanying photographs are dramatic and evocative. Together they present a vivid portrait of how an isolated, nomadic past meets a worldly, urban future, and how history confronts superstition.
