Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. AUSTRALIANA ABORIGINAL -Sir Baldwin Spencer (1860-1929) was a British/Australian biologist and anthropologist, best known for his work amongst the indigenous Aboriginal tribes of Australia. After graduating from Exeter College, Oxford in 1884, Spencer was elected a fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford, before being appointed the Professor of Biology at the University of Melbourne. In 1896 Spencer joined his friend and co-author Francis James Gillen (1855-1912) to undertake fieldwork during the Aboriginal tribal gathering known as the Engwura. This pioneering volume, first published in 1899, is the result of this fieldwork. Spencer and Gillen were initiated as members of the Arunta tribe and became the first Europeans to witness many tribal customs and social structures. The kinship structures, marriage and burial ceremonies and religious beliefs of several tribes are described. This fascinating volume influenced contemporary ideas concerning palaeolithic society and the origins of art and religion.pp. 740History / Australia & New ZealandSocial Science / Anthropology / Cultural & SocialSocial Science / Cultural & Ethnic Studies / Australian & Oceanian StudiesSocial Science / Customs & Traditions#160726 (Prev ownership stamp on prelims.)

Very light wear to boards; binding is tight and square. The Arunta is considered a seminal anthropological study of aboriginal Australians. Gillen and Spencer developed their collection at a time when Aboriginal people in Central Australia were relatively unaffected by European contact (between 1875 and 1912) and as such constitutes one of the most comprehensive inventories of a regional Aboriginal group in existence. Their objective was to provide 'as complete an account as possible of the organization, customs, beliefs and general culture of a people that affords as much insight as we are now ever likely to gain into the manner of life of men and women who have long since disappeared in other parts of the world'. Contents include: Social Organisation; Local Organisation; The Totems; Totemic Topography; Churinga; Lending and Returning Churinga; Mbanbiuma and Intichiuma Ceremonies; Initiation Ceremonies; Traditions of the Alchera and Alchera ancestors; Achlpa traditions; Tradition of Numbakulla and of the origin of Churinga and Kuruna.…

The author's full name was James Frederick John Gillen. The Historical Division monographs are primarily concerned with the organization, activities, and interests of the Office of the U.S. High Commissioner for Germany (HICOG). In each volume and in this volume, the selection of facts and their interpretation represent the judgment and opinion of the author(s). No part of any study be considered a statement of U.S. Government policy, and the points of view expressed are not necessarily those of HICOG or of the Department of State. On March 31, 1951, the Office of the U.S. High Commissioner for Germany employed 12690 persons of whom 10,744 were Germans. To what extend should an Occupying Power as employer observe German personnel procedures and practices? What rules of appointment, classification and pay should be used when Germans work for Tripartite Allied agencies? There and many other questions had been raised during the years of military occupation and transition and varying answers had been given. The history of this administrative experience is an interesting story in itself and is the subject of the present monograph. The Allied High Commission (also known as the High Commission for Occupied Germany, HICOG) was established by the United States, the United Kingdom, and France after the 1948 breakdown of the Allied Control Council to regulate and supervise the development of the newly established Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). The Commission took its seat at the Hotel Petersberg near Bonn and started its work on September 21, 1949. It ceased to function under the terms of the Bonn-Paris conventions, on May 5, 1955. The Occupation Statute specified the prerogatives of the Western allies vis-à-vis the German government, and preserved the right to intervene in areas of military, economic, and foreign policy importance. These rights were revised in the Petersberg Agreement several weeks later. With the creation of the Federal Republic and the institution of the High Commission, the position of the Military Governors was abolished. Instead each of the three Western allies named a High Commissioner. John McCloy was the first U.S. High Commissioner and James Bryant Conant was the final one, and transitioned to become the first U.S. Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany.
