Download or read book The Koryak written by Waldemar Jochelson and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 886 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 18th century, researchers and scientists have traveled the peninsula of Kamchatka in the Russian Far East. Many of them were of German origin and had been commissioned by the Russian government to perform specific tasks. Their exhaustive descriptions and detailed reports are still considered some of the most valuable documents on the ethnography of the indigenous peoples of that part of the world. These works inform us about living conditions and particular ways of natural resource use at various times, and provide us with valuable background information for current assessment. As the first profound anthropological descriptions of that region, the publications of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, undertaken in the first years of the 20th century, marked the beginning of a new era of research in Russia. They represented a shift of the already existing transnational research networks toward North America. Jochelson’s work The Koryak was an important milestone for Russian and North American anthropology that provides to this day a unique contribution to thoroughly understanding the cultures of the North Pacific rim.

Download or read book Steller s History of Kamchatka written by Georg Wilhelm Steller and published by Rasmuson Library Historical Tr. This book was released on 2003 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything was of interest to Georg Wilhelm Steller, the Russian Academy of Sciences naturalist on Vitus Bering's second Kamchatka expedition, which discovered Alaska in 1741. Steller composed this manuscript on Kamchatka in 1743 and 1744, but it was published in German only posthumously. This first English translation is most valuable for its extensive descriptions of the natural and human worlds that Steller found in the mid-eighteenth century. He describes over thirty species and two genera of fish, and numrous species of birds, for the first time. Observations of Kamchatka's Native peoples add to the small and invaluable collection of ethnographic and linguistic descriptions made during the initial acculturation process and the growth of a new economy based on the fur trade, which changed Native life forever. He makes unique observations of the economy of Kamchatka and the role of the Cossacks, and was the first scientist to suggest, based on direct observation, similarities in the ethnography and natural history of the Russian Far East and Alaska. Steller's breadth and depth in recording the natural and human world of eighteenth-century Alaska make this translation an important reference for readers interested in all aspects of North Pacific and Russian American history.
