Item description from seller

Stated Eighth Printing of a fine and influential reader in Pacific studies. Contributions by Roy A. Rappaport, Andrew Sharp, George W. Grace, Robert C. Suggs, Bronislaw Malinowski, Marshall D. Sahlins, Raymond Firth, M.J. Meggitt, Elman R. Service, Douglas L. Oliver, Derek Freman and many others. Sturdy, still tightly bound softcover copy, minor wear of covers and less to text-block, but with neither underlining nor highlighting. Perfectly readable, usable copy. Double-column texts for easy reading. Cover design by S.A. Summit, and with plentiful black-and-white maps, charts, diagrams and illustrations. From the publisher's blurb, "Cultures of the Pacific offers a selection of 28 readings representing anthropological research interests and cultural variation in the Pacific. The selections emphasize anthropological significance and relevance rather than substantive and geographical coverage. The articles are divided into six topical areas of major importance: Culture History; Technology and Economics; Social Life; Politics and Social Control; Religion; Culture Change. Among the selections included are 'The Kon-Tiki Myth' by Robert C. Suggs, 'The Primitive Economics of the Trobriand Islanders' by Bronislaw Malinowski, and 'The Rights of Primitive Peoples' by Margaret Mead. Many of the selections, including four previously unpublished papers, have not been readily available to the reader. Editors' introductions to each section indicate the place of the individual contributions in Pacific studies in particular and in anthropology in general. Illustrations and tables complement the text. Cultures of the Pacific is designed primarily for undergraduate and graduate courses in the anthropology of Pacific peoples and cultures. It will also find application in courses dealing with the cultural geography and history of the Pacific, as well as those concerned with the political science and economic development of the area." Previous owner's penned inscription at first free endpaper. xv [1], 1-496 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

Description de la boutique

Member, I.O.B.A. (the Independent On-line Booksellers Association) "Structure" versus "Agency." A phrase that has characterized much social-scientific debate. Does “structure” (the routinized regulations of kinship and marriage, work and reproduction, of race, class and gender) determine history, or is it the “agency” of fully conscious, independently acting, individuals? Structure, Verses, Agency Books isn’t going to solve the debate, but we’ll offer you lots of all three. Versus to verses—we specialize in fine, rare and collectible books, from the fine arts to the social sciences, from poetry to photography, from literature and ethnography to fine bindings and Americana.
