Protein Capture and Cultural Development in the Amazon Basin
526-549 pages with tables. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/4" Volume 77 number 3 bound in original publisher's wrappers. First edition. This paper examines the proposition that availability of animal protein limits the size density and permanence of settlements of the aboriginal societies of the Amazon Basin. Previous discussion have focused mainly on agricultural potential. Evidence is presented from ethnography and ecology suggesting that fish and game are scarce particularly away from major rivers. Nine relatively unacculturated societies have relatively low but probably adequate per capita intake of animal protein. the effects which this limitation may have on Amazonian culture are discussed.

785-798 pages. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/2" Volume 76 number 4 bound in original publisher's wrappers. First edition. Communication problems in post-industrial society are seen to arise from two interacting factors: cultural differences and differences between lay and technical languages. They are necessary consequence of the loosening of social boundaries and increasing technological specialization. Thus they cannot be attributed to cultural or cognitive deprivation. Linguistic anthropology can contribute to a general theory of communication which may re-orient research paradigms and predict the social effect of the communication gap.

The Power of the Imagined Community: The Settlement of Undocumented Mexicans and Central Americans in the United States
52-73 pages with tables. Royal octavo 10" x 6 1/2" bound in original publisher's wrappers. American Anthropologist Volume 96 number 1 March 1994 whole issue. Using logistic regression this article tests the relative importance of the "imagined community" on the intentions of undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States. the argument is that everything else being equal imagining oneself as part of a local community is a powerful influence on settlement. If for whatever reason an undocumented immigrant comes to this self-perception then he or she is likely to desire to stay in the community. The results clearly underscore the importance of feeling part of the community. Not only is the influence on the dependent variable statistically significant but the odds ration indicates that those who feel part of the local community are almost four times Mexicans or almost five times Central Americans as likely to intend to stay permanently in the United States as those who do not.

Expansionary Dynamics of Some Early Pristine States
304-333 pages with maps. Royal octavo 10" x 6 3/4" in original publisher's volume 95 number 2 of the American Anthropologist. First edition. Immediately following on endogenous processes of state formation many pristine civilizations expanded further by placing a variety of isolated core outposts as key junctions of their surrounding periphery. This cross-cultural phenomenon is documented here in reference to only Mesopotamian Sumerian Classic Mesoamerican Teotihuacan Mature Harappan and Predynastic Egyptian civilizations. The commonality in the use of outposts in these otherwise very different civilizations is explained by three interconnected factors shared by many early states. First the expanding economies of increasingly urbanized early state polities required regularized access to nonlocal resources. Second for their own political ends elites in less-advanced surrounding communities would have been amenable to granting such access to early core societies. And third transportational constraints common to all premodern societies meant that the most efficient way to channel regular exchanges between distant geographic areas and differentially structured societies was by means of strategically positioned core outpost serving as collection points for peripheral resources and as distribution modes for core-manufactured prestige goods.

The Oedipus Complex Antigone and Electra: The Woman as Heor and Victim
58-78 pages. Royal octavo 9 1/2" x 6 1/2" complete volume 84 number 1 in original publisher's wrappers. First edition. This paper reinterprets the structural interpretation of Greek mythology presented by Leach and Levi-Strauss from a feminist perspective. The reinterpretation approaches the Oedipus myth and Freud's analysis of it from the perspective of Antigone daughter of Oedipus and a hero of Sophoclean tragedy. Ancient Greek tragedy allowed a few mythic women the role of hero although women in ancient Greek society were confined to the domestic sphere. The paper discusses Antigone Electra and other mythic women in their relations to family and the public domain. The interpretation of Greek mythology differs from previous ones but is not inconsistent with them. Condition: Very good. American Anthropological Association paperback

Adoption and Kinship in Oceania
799-820 pages with charts and tables. Royal octavo 9 1/2" x 6 1/4" Volume 82 number 4 complete bound in original publisher's wrappers. First edition. The frequency and form of adoption practices in Oceania recently have been cited as evidence that human behavior is inconsistent with prediction derived from sociobiological theory Sahlins 1976. Ethnographic data reviewed here however suggest otherwise. In Oceania kinship is an important factor in the selection and treatment of adopted children as adoption occurs almost exclusively among close relatives. Natal children often ally against their adopted siblings over the division of their common parents' estate while adoptive parents themselves frequently apportion their land unequally among their natal and adopted children. These patterns and other data are consistent with predictions generated by a sociobiological model of adoptive decisions. The model illustrated how kinship facilitates adoption as a means of modifying extreme family sizes and how asymmetries in the degrees of relatedness between parents and their adopted and natal children provide the basis of differential treatment of them. Adoption in Oceania provides an example of a clearly cultural behavior which is consistent with sociobiological predictions and suggests that both culture and biology are relevant to an understanding of human behavior.

Whorf and His Critics: Linguistic and Nonlinguistic Influences on Color Memory
581-615 pages with tables and appendices. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/2" volume 81 number 3 bound in original publisher's wrappers. First edition. The current state of research on language and though using color as a stimulus is reviewed. Five related experiments that integrate and expand the findings of this previous color research is reported. The relationship between memory and 1 color stimuli discriminability 2 focality 3 two-person communication accuracy 4 group communication accuracy and 5 referential confusability is assessed. What is discovered is that the color array previously used to demonstrate the influence of focality on memory is discriminatingly biased in favor of focal chips. Results show that when perceptual discriminability is controlled for the various linguistic indices are better predictors of memory accuracy in both short-term and long term recognition memory tasks than is focality. Memory for color stimuli seems to be mediated by basic color descriptions which may include but are not restricted to basic color terms. The discussion takes up the implications of the findings for previous research and for Whorf's hierachical view of the relationship between language and sublinguistic universals.

1-27 pages with diagrams maps and tables. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/2" volume 77 number complete bound in original publisher's wrappers. First edition. Anthropologists generally assume that civilization developed independently in the easter and western hemispheres. Review of the features that distinguish the Olmec culture of Mesoamerica from preceding village farming groups shows however that many are present in the earlier Shang civilization of China. If Olmec civilization originated from a transpacific stimulus this has important implications both for reconstruction of New World cultural development and for formulation of a valid theory of the evolution of civilization.

Gilberti Maturino 1498? 1585
Grammatica Maturini : tractatus omnium fere que grammatices studiosis tradi solent a fratre Maturino Gilberto Minorita ex doctissimis collectus autoribus
506 pages Octavo 9" x 6 1/4" bound in original wrappers. Preface by Agustin Jacinto Zavala. Cronologia. El siglo XVI de Maturino gilberti by J Benedict Warren. Introduction notes and editing by Rosa Lucas Gonzalez. This edition limited to 1000 copies.<br /><br />When the Franciscans arrived in Michoacán in 1525 they found a new challenge the language of the natives of the region whom they came to call Tarascans was different from other native languages of New Spain. Maturino Gilberti a Franciscan friar whose skills in the Tarascan language exceeded those of his peers. When his works were printed it was the first attempt of a systematic analysis of the language and his vocabulary is still the best known Tarascan dictionary. Prior to his arrival in the new world very little is known it is thought that he may have been born in 1498. but it could have been in 1507 or 8 in the city of Poitiers France. He studied arts and theology at the University of Toulouse and came to New Spain in 1531 shortly after his ordination. Fray Alonso de la Rea Michoacán’s Franciscan chronicler of the seventeenth century says Gilberti went directly to Michoacán. He quickly learned the language and was held in high admiration by the natives. It seems that his first publication was a Christian doctrine that came out in 1553. In 1556 we find Fray Gilberti in Tzintzuntzan were Quiroga established the episcopal see and where indigenous Tzintzuntzans and other subjected Indians were forced in building the cathedral. Gilberti stood against Bishop Quiroga and the enslavement of the indigenous to build and pay for the cathedral. In the summer of 1558 Gilberti proposed several books to be printed in Mexico. He Had obtained approval for them by James Daciano guardian superior of the convent of the Franciscans in Tzintzuntzan in July. He must have acted quickly because on August 10 received letters from Archbishop Alonso and the Franciscan provincial authorizing the publication of his books. Within the same twelve month period the Viceroy Luis de Velasco gave his written approval. In accordance with such approvals he would published four books in Mexico during the course of less than one year. All were published at the press of Juan Pablo. It seems that Gilberti had thought that his grammar Arte and dictionary vocabulary were two parts of the same work. This is probably the reason why the dictionary does not have the usual written approvals because the dictionary is mentioned in the letters to the principle of grammar. Gilberti died in Tzintzuntzan 1585.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Light edge wear else a very good copy. El Colegio de Michoacan paperback
