One of the most significant anthropologists of the 20th century, Polish ethnographer Bronislaw Malinowski's contributions to social theory and field research had a lasting influence on the discipline of anthropology. His ethnography of the Trobriand Islands described the complex institution of the Kula ring and became foundational for subsequent theories of reciprocity and exchange. He was also widely regarded as an eminent fieldworker and his texts regarding the anthropological field methods were foundational to early anthropology, for example coining the term participatory observation. In his 1929 work The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia he describes in detail the social organization of sexuality (social rites, partner choice, etc.) "tracing the Trobriand lifecycle from birth through puberty, marriage, and death". Volume 1 only. Dust-jacket with a large chip at the top of the spine. First edition. 6" - 8¾". N° de ref. del artículo 276601
