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 Many of the selections, including four previously unpublished papers, have not been readily available to the reader.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."

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Harding, Blanche (illustrator) (illustrator). Reprint. 172 pages. Recounts author's experiences in China whilst teaching English with his wife on a voluntary basis. "I was like the ancient mariner; under a terrible compulsion to stop western travellers and tourists and hold them by the lapel as I babbled off all the iniquities of the monstrous oriental madhouse. "What is it like to experience waiting to be executed? It is lastingly horrifying even by vicarous experience. Believe me." But don't worry, there were lighter moments as well! Author won the Brissendon Scholarship for creative writing at the University of British Columbia. Signed by Author(s).
