Culture And Practical Reason
The University of Chicago Press Chicago and London: 1976. Softcover. Good condition.

WISEMAN FREDERICK MATTHEW
The Voice Of The Dawn: An Autohistory Of The Abenaki Nation
University Press of New England Hanover: 2001. Softcover. Brand new book. An experienced Native voice tells the story of Abenaki culture and history. "My story is a sash woven of many strands of language. The first strand is the remembered wisdom of the Abenaki community. The second strand is our history and that of our relatives written down by European Native American and Euroamerican observers. The third strand is what our Mother the Earth has revealed to us through the studies and writings of those who delve in her the archaeologists and paleoecologists. The fourth strand is my own family history and its stories. The fifth strand is of course that which has come to me alone stories which I create with my own beliefs and visions." So begins the first book about Abenaki history and culture written from the inside. Frederick Matthew Wiseman's extensive research and personal engagement breathe life into Voice of the Dawn making it truly unique. Colin Calloway Chair of Native American Studies at Dartmouth College writes "Going beyond all previous works on the Abenakis Wiseman draws on family and community knowledge in a way that none of those authors could speaks from an avowedly Abenaki perspective and addresses aspects and issues ignored in other works. Moreover no one that I know of has done as much work in locating and regathering items of Western Abenaki material culture. The quality and quantity of illustrations alone make this an attractive book as well as a valuable visual record of change and persistence over time. As someone personally and pivotally involved in the Abenaki renaissance Wiseman brings the story up to date without closing it." "Readers looking for extensive and subtle discussions of prehistoric artifacts in the region will find this to be a useful addition to their libraries. Wiseman's use of some oral histories native philosophy personal reflection and quotations for native scholars and tribal historians is refreshing and long overdue." �Vermont History "Wiseman's book offers the reader a well-told story of natural and human history but it is his discussion of the connection of all this history to commonplace aspects of modern life that is particularly compelling. Wiseman confronts the reader with the connections among history land and the conditions of modern Abenaki communities and challenges the reader to think about these connections . . . Wiseman's The Voice of the Dawn is essential reading for a student of regional history or archaelogy and is likely to challenge its readers' way of thinking."�Historical New Hampshire "It is hard to imagine someone more qualified to undertake this project than Wiseman. An Abenaki raised in Vermont and an academic trained in archeology he is able to provide both an insider's view of Abenaki life and a scholarly assessment of the archeological and ethnohistorical record. Moreover since 1988 he has participated in Abenaki politics and activism making him one of the few writers qualified to describe the Vermont tribe's political resurgence."�Paradoxa 15 "Fred Wiseman writes a deeply personal narrative that informs and satisfies the reader; through sheer scholarship and sense of pride in his Abenaki heritage Wiseman contributes a timely work that should be read by all individuals who value history which truly defines New England."�Jeff Benay Chair Governor's Advisory Commission on Native American Affairs State of Vermont "This book is a 'must read' for anyone who is at all interested in the Abenakis of what is now called Vermont. To understand any people one must have an insider's view and this is one such. Wisemen's discussion of contemporary Abenaki affairs is especially valuable and he has been careful to represent as fairly as he can different points of view. Highly recommended."�William A. Haviland Emeritus Professor of Anthropology University of Vermont Trained as an archaeologist/ecologist Frederick Matthew Wiseman was principal Research Scientist at MIT's Center for Materials Research in Archaeology and Ethnology and author of scholarly publications on Maya and Paleo-Indian paleoethnobiology. Now devoted to Abenaki culture and history he teaches at Johnson State College and is an Abenaki Tribal Council member and director of the Abenaki Tribal Museum and Cultural Center in Vermont. "Wiseman's synthesis of widely accepted archaeology with an innovative interpretive scheme centered on the Wabanaki is welcome and convincing."�Choice University Press of New England, Hanover: 2001 paperback

MEAD MARGARET
Growing Up In New Guinea: A Comparative Study In Primitive Education
New American Library New York: 1953. Softcover. reading copy. A classic study of adolescence and sex in a primitive society. It is a book which grew out of a field trip Dr. Mead made to the South Pacific more than thirty years ago. At that time on the Island of Manus she was able to observe a community uninfluenced by the world of the twentieth century. Her enlightening and perspective analysis of the family life of these people-their attitudes toward sex marriage the raising of children and the supernatural-is not only fascinating in itself but is made doubly so by the intriguing parallels which Dr. Mead draws with modern life. Includes an Index. New American Library, New York: 1953 paperback

Cambridge University Press Cambridge: 2005. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Examines an important aspect of the visual cultures of the ancient Maya in southern Mexico Guatemala Belize and Honduras.
