Social Sciences

In this study, first published in 1969, the late Martin Cunliffe sets out a concept of military history in relation to the American Civil War. Weaving together a series of broad observations, the author uses the American military experience to demonstrate the country's social order, characteristics and values. The basic premise of the text rests on the notion of inherent contradiction within the framework of American life, and these contradictions are discussed in detail during the course of the author's broad treatment of his subject.

Cultures of the Pacific

Cultures of the Pacific offers a selection of 28 readings representing anthropological research interests & cultural variation in the Pacific.

The articles are divided into 6 topical areas of major importance: Culture History Technology & Economics Social Life Politics & Social Control Religion Culture Change Among the selections included are "The Kon-Tiki Myth" by Robert C. Suggs, "The Primitive Economics of the Trobriand Islanders" by Bronislaw Malinowski, and "The Rights of Primitive Peoples" by Margaret Mead. Many of the selections, including 4 previously unpublished papers, have not been readily available to the reader. Editors' introductions to each section indicate the place of the individual contributions in Pacific studies in particular and in anthropology in general. Illustrations & tables complement the text. Cultures of the Pacific is designed primarily for undergraduate & graduate courses in the anthropology of Pacific peoples & cultures. It will also find application in courses dealing with the cultural geography & history of the Pacific, as well as those concerned with the political science & economic development of the area.
