ISBN: 9780197264003 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Because Barth's pioneering work in this small corner of Melanesia still exerts an important influence on the discipline's contemporary view of knowledge, the implications of this critique go far beyond a little known problem and raise fundamental...
