Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Head-Hunters of Borneo (OPB, #6.95), Carl Bock's account of his expedition to the jungles of Central Borneo in the 1870s, so fired the imagination of fellow-Norwegian Carl Lumholtz that he repeated the journey in reverse between 1913 and 1917. Packed with details of river journeys, encounters with wild animals, and sojourns with headhunters, his own recollections of this largely unexplored region are just as exciting and informative.

Book Through Central Borneo

Download or read book Through Central Borneo written by Carl Lumholtz and published by . This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carl Sofus Lumholtz (1851-1922) was a Norwegian discoverer and ethnographer, best known for his meticulous field research and ethnographic publications on the indigenous cultures of Australia and Mesoamerican, central Mexico. Born in Faberg, Norway, he graduated in theology in 1876 from the University of Christiania, now the University of Oslo. He travelled to Australia in 1880, where he spent ten months from 1882-1883 amongst the indigenous inhabitants of the Herbert-Burdekin region in North Queensland. The resultant book, Among Cannibals: An Account of Four Yearsa Travels in Australia and of Camp Life with the Aborigines of Queensland (1888), is regarded as the finest ethnographic research of the period for the northern Queensland Aborigines. He later travelled to Mexico, where he stayed for many years and conducted several expeditions from 1890 through to 1910. One result of these expeditions was a twovolume book called Unknown Mexico (1902). He then briefly explored India from 1914-1915, followed by Borneo from 1915-1917 which was to be his last expedition, resulting in the publication of Through Central Borneo (1920).

  • Author : E. O. Wilson
  • Publisher : Vintage

  • Pages : 485 pages

Download or read book Consilience written by E. O. Wilson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-11-26 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • "A dazzling journey across the sciences and humanities in search of deep laws to unite them." —The Wall Street Journal One of our greatest scientists—and the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes for On Human Nature and The Ants—gives us a work of visionary importance that may be the crowning achievement of his career. In Consilience (a word that originally meant "jumping together"), Edward O. Wilson renews the Enlightenment's search for a unified theory of knowledge in disciplines that range from physics to biology, the social sciences and the humanities. Using the natural sciences as his model, Wilson forges dramatic links between fields. He explores the chemistry of the mind and the genetic bases of culture. He postulates the biological principles underlying works of art from cave-drawings to Lolita. Presenting the latest findings in prose of wonderful clarity and oratorical eloquence, and synthesizing it into a dazzling whole, Consilience is science in the path-clearing traditions of Newton, Einstein, and Richard Feynman.

Download or read book Plumes from Paradise written by Pamela Swadling and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2019-12 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The natural resources of New Guinea and nearby islands have attracted outsiders for at least 5000 years: spices, aromatic woods and barks, resins, plumes, sea slugs, shells and pearls all brought traders from distant markets. Among the most sought-after was the bird of paradise. Their magnificent plumes bedecked the hats of fashion-conscious women in Europe and America, provided regalia for the Kings of Nepal, and decorated the headdresses of Janissaries of the Ottoman Empire. Plumes from Paradise tells the story of this interaction, and of the economic, political, social and cultural consequence for the island's inhabitants. It traces 400 years of economic and political history, culminating in the 'plume boom' of the early part of the 20th century, when an unprecedented number of outsiders flocked to the island's coasts and hinterlands. The story teems with the variety of people involved: New Guineans, Indonesians, Chinese, Europeans, hunters, traders, natural historians and their collectors, officials, missionaries, planters, miners, adventurers of every kind. In the wings were the conservationists, whose efforts brought the slaughter of the plume boom to an end and ushered in an era of comparative isolation for the island that lasted until World War II.
