Valoración del vendedor:

Descripción Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in good dustjacket), black & white photos, light foxing top edge, pages lightly toned, small edge pieces missing jacket (few chips & closed edge tears, small scuff base spine), some edgewear. 262 pp. Ronald and Catherine Berndt examine the three facets of Australian Aboriginal life: their direct dependence on the natural environment, the essential element of cooperation with one another, and their emphasis on the relevance of myth in a religious context. The material is taken from the Gunwinggu people of Western Arnhem Land. The study looks comprehensively at their society and culture as an integral whole. The three dominant themes on which discussion is focused are articulated in terms of social relations on the one hand and the belief system on the other. This study by two renowned Australian social anthropologists, husband and wife, gives a balanced picture of the Gunwiggu men and women, for both academics and general reading.
