Book excerpt: "Papua New Guinea, the second largest island in the world after Greenland, is a land where complexity reigns. The extreme diversity of natural environments is reflected in a fragmentation of the people, languages, customs and traditions that is unlike any other country on Earth. It is an ethnic kaleidoscope, a mosaic of languages and cultures - slightly more than seven million inhabitants (with Papua New Guinea and Irian Jaya combined) speak almost one thousand distinct languages, comprising almost a fifth of all the languages spoken on the planet. Papua New Guinea not only hosts the last cannibals on Earth, a topic already much written about, but more importantly, it is also the undisputed home of the world's "last men," Here, in pockets of prehistory hidden from time and by nature, there still survives something of original man, who is required to expend all his efforts, every day, to resolve the problems of food and survival." "This volume, which was written by two travelers and photographers who are experts in reporting from the ends of the Earth, lago Corazza and Greta Ropa, and contains an introduction by anthropologist Nicola Pagano, is dedicated to this heritage of humanity, which will probably be unable to resist the advancement of modernization. This is a work that describes daily life, the difficulties of survival, the magnificent and at times hostile environment, the history, and the biological characteristics of the animals and vegetation - all with the immediacy of a documentary and the directness of a journalistic report."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book The Lost Tribe written by Edward Marriott and published by Holt Paperbacks. This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two years before this story begins, the Liawep were living deep in the jungle of Papua, New Guinea, long forgotten by the outside world. Numbering seventy-nine men, women, and children, the tribe worshipped a mountain, dressed in leaves, and hid when planes flew overhead, believing them to be evil sanguma birds. Their discovery by a missionary hit the headlines in 1993. Galvanized by the reports of people living in Stone Age conditions, Edward Marriott set out to find the Liawep. Banned from visiting the tribe by the New Guinea government, he assembled his own ragtag patrol and ventured illegally into the wilderness in search of his quarry. Nothing could have prepared him for what he found or for the dramatic events that followed. A thrilling, superbly written adventure, The Lost Tribe is a memorable account of what happens when good intentions go awry, when rational man meets primal beliefs, and when a small, primitive people are ensnared by the predations of civilization.

Book excerpt: The bestselling author of Collapse and Guns, Germs and Steel surveys the history of human societies to answer the question: What can we learn from traditional societies that can make the world a better place for all of us? “As he did in his Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond continues to make us think with his mesmerizing and absorbing new book." Bookpage Most of us take for granted the features of our modern society, from air travel and telecommunications to literacy and obesity. Yet for nearly all of its six million years of existence, human society had none of these things. While the gulf that divides us from our primitive ancestors may seem unbridgeably wide, we can glimpse much of our former lifestyle in those largely traditional societies still or recently in existence. Societies like those of the New Guinea Highlanders remind us that it was only yesterday—in evolutionary time—when everything changed and that we moderns still possess bodies and social practices often better adapted to traditional than to modern conditions.The World Until Yesterday provides a mesmerizing firsthand picture of the human past as it had been for millions of years—a past that has mostly vanished—and considers what the differences between that past and our present mean for our lives today. This is Jared Diamond’s most personal book to date, as he draws extensively from his decades of field work in the Pacific islands, as well as evidence from Inuit, Amazonian Indians, Kalahari San people, and others. Diamond doesn’t romanticize traditional societies—after all, we are shocked by some of their practices—but he finds that their solutions to universal human problems such as child rearing, elder care, dispute resolution, risk, and physical fitness have much to teach us. Provocative, enlightening, and entertaining, The World Until Yesterday is an essential and fascinating read.

Download or read book Papua or British New Guinea written by J. H. P. Murray and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papua or British New Guinea There have been many books published of late years about Papua, and my only excuse for adding to the number is that none of the authors deal with the subject from the same point of view as I have done, nor do any of them cover exactly the same ground. Miss Grimshaw's fascinating work, "The New New Guinea," treats, as its name implies, only of the recent development of the territory; Dr. Seligmann's learned "Melanesians of New Guinea" is occupied with the ethnology of a few tribes; and the Rev. Mr. Chignell's admirable "Outpost in Papua" is almost entirely confined to a description of life in a single village; and in the same way the older books, valuable and interesting as they are, generally deal with some particular aspect of Papuan life rather than with Papua as a whole. It seemed to me, therefore, that there might be room for my book in spite of the number that had already been written. I am fully conscious of my numerous disqualifications for the work that I have undertaken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Child of the Jungle written by Sabine Kuegler and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2007-03-02 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A #1 bestseller in Europe, Child of the Jungle tells the remarkable story of a childhood and adolescence spent caught between two modes of existence-jungle life and Western "civilization." Sabine Kuegler was five years old when her family-her German linguist-missionary parents and her siblings-moved to the territory of the recently discovered hunter-and-gatherer Fayu tribe of Papua New Guinea. The Fayu tribe is best known for being a Stone Age community untouched by modern times-they live an existence characterized by fear, violence, and atavistic ritual (including cannibalism in some regions)-but Sabine's family saw another side to them as well. Once the Kueglers were accepted by a clan chief, they found themselves becoming a part of a tightly knit and fiercely loyal community, and living the primal existence of the Fayu-one marked by the natural cycles of day and night, malaria and other diseases, and daily encounters with wildlife, from swims with crocodiles to dinners of worms. As the Kueglers changed, so did the Fayu people, learning from Sabine's family that there was a way out of their cycle of violence and that forgiveness can be sweeter than revenge. At the age of 17, Sabine found her life turned upside down when she left for Switzerland to attend boarding school and entered traditional society head-on. Child of the Jungle is the story of a life lived among the Fayu and the author's attempt to reconcile her feelings about "civilization" with those about a life she knew and loved.
