Rank and Religion in Tikopia (Routledge Revivals): A Study in Polynesian Paganism and Conversion to Christianity.
ISBN: 9780415694711 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Primitive Polynesian Economy
ISBN: 9780393007749 / Angielski / Miękka / 1975 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Professor Firth discovers how far economic categories such as "labor," "capital," and "value" can be applied to such primitive conditions, shows the effect of the absence of an exact exchange medium, and provides much quantitative data about property and food resources. The book points the way to the need for further inquiry in an important sphere of native life. Since Tikopia is almost the only remaining island in Polynesia where the ancient ways of life continue practically unaffected by European influence, it is a unique record for those concerned with the history and sociology of the...
