Excerpt from Head-Hunters: Black, White and BrownSuch being the case, I felt it to be my duty to gather what information I could when not actually engaged in my zoological investigations. I found, even then, that the opportunities of learning about the pagan past of the natives were limited, and that it would become increasingly more difficult, as the younger men knew comparatively little of the former customs and beliefs, and the old men were dying off.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Wanderings of PeoplesMy object in writing this little book is to give a brief survey of the trend of human migrations so far as our imperfect knowledge permits, and I have endeavoured to do this for various periods of human history, even going as far back as the earliest diffusions that can be predicated. It has not been easy to compress into so small a space the account of the various migrations, indeed little more could be done than merely indicate without describing the movements, their causes and effects. Much interesting information has thus had to be whittled down to a bare statement. I have introduced dates when possible, but in many cases these are only approximate, and it sometimes happens, as in Egyptian chronology, that the system of dating of one authority differs widely from that of another. This is the first time, I believe, that this task has been attempted, and consequently many errors may have crept in. The study of human migrations emphasises the fact that ethnology and history can be satisfactorily elucidated only from the geographical standpoint.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

<p>Alfred C. Haddon began his study of these native fabrics and garments with the collection in the Sarawak museum, Kuching, of which many of the patterns had been identified. His own collection, supplemented by one purchased for him from Dr Charles Hose, is now in the Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. These sources, together with an examination of the cloths in the British Museum, formed the basis of this memoir, which was originally published by Cambridge University Press in 1936. This was the first time that the beautiful and intimate patterns of Iban textiles had been investigated and illustrated. Laura E. Start contributed a full technical description of the manufacture of the fabrics and provided all the drawings.</p>
