Bronislaw Malinowski’s pathbreaking Argonauts of the Western Pacific is at once a detailed account of exchange in the Melanesian islands and a manifesto of a modernist anthropology. Malinowski argued that the goal of which the ethnographer should never lose sight is ‘to grasp the native’s point of view, his relation to life, to realise his vision of his world.’ Through vivid evocations of Kula life, including the building and launching of canoes, fishing expeditions and the role of myth and magic amongst the Kula people, Malinowski brilliantly describes an inter-island system of exchange - from gifts from father to son to swapping fish for yams - around which an entire community revolves. A classic of anthropology that did much to establish the primacy of painstaking fieldwork over the earlier anecdotal reports of travel writers, journalists and missionaries, it is a compelling insight into a world now largely lost from view.　With a new foreword by Adam Kuper.

In this post-apocalyptic fantasy, a sea of sand swallows everything but the past. In an endless sea of sand drifts the Mud Whale, a floating island city of clay and magic. In its chambers a small community clings to survival, most dying young from the very powers that sustain them. It is Year 93 of the Sand Exile, but the implications of that calendar is only now sinking in for Chakuro. Imperial soldiers from the Allied Empire have appeared from nowhere, with orders to kill all the "criminals" of the Mud Whale! The committee of elders knows why this is happening, but they still won't explain to the young Marked of the island. And the elders would rather see the Mud Whale sink forever to the bottom of the sea of sand than leave them all to the hands of the Empire. A gripping post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure in the vein of Nausicaa.

It is a place, in short, of wisdom and magic, where dreaming is still very much alive.’ Why does it make sense to Ethiopian runners to get up at 3am to run up and down a hill? Who would choose to train on almost impossibly steep and rocky terrain, in hyena territory? And how come Ethiopian men hold six of the top ten ... Unknown localization key: "more"
