String Figures (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Excerpt from String Figures

Precision of language, which was necessary if the subject was to be treated scientifically, was introduced only in 1902. Subsequent research has strengthened the interest taken in string figures, and in anthropological expeditions to-day they are among the matters on which information is sought. In particular Haddon has continued to stimulate enquiry, and to him we owe many Of the patterns discovered. It is not too much to say that he is the creator of the science, and to his enthusiasm and knowledge many owe their introduction to it.
