New York: Cambridge University Press (CUP). 356 pp. Paperback octavo, very good condition, figures, front cover little creased, bottom edge little rubbed, minor edgewear. How did humankind deal with the extreme challenges of the last Ice Age? How have the relatively benign post-Ice Age conditions affected the evolution and spread of humanity across the globe? William Burroughs sets our genetic history in the context of climate change during prehistory, and thus the origin of many features of our modern world are identified. He reviews the aspects of our physiology and intellectual development that have been influenced by climatic factors, and how features of our lives - diet, language, domestication of animals - are also the product of the climate in which we evolved. To summarize: climate change in prehistory has made us what we are today. The author weaves together studies of the climate with anthropological, archaeological and historical studies, and will fascinate all those interested in the effects of climate on human development and history.

Noel (N. G.) Butlin presents a concept of a pre-European Aboriginal economy. He closely analyses the processes which allowed economic control of a country to pass, after more than 60,000 years in Aboriginal hands, into European hands within 60 years of settlement. Professor Butlin claims that it was not until 1850 that combined black and white production exceeded the 'value' of black production in 1788, prior to British colonisation. The book covers 60,000 years from the migration of Australia's first peoples from South-east Asia to the arrival of European settlers - and the subsequent disintegration of traditional life and the decimation of the Aboriginal population. His research in prehistory, oceanography, climatology, demography, geomorphology and anthropology has produced a new and revealing perspective on early Aboriginal economic history.

Oxford: Berg Publishers. 204 pp. Paperback small octavo, very good condition, figures, minor edgewear. These essays, edited by Simon Coleman and Peter Collins, provide a critical look at the latest developments and key issues in anthropological fieldwork. Are reports of the death of conventional fieldwork in anthropology exaggerated? From the social space of a cybercafe to cities in India, the UK and South Africa among others, this book features ethnographic studies that provide new ways of looking at the concepts of 'locality' and 'site'. The nature of 'locality' itself is problematic for both participants and fieldworkers: it must now be maintained and represented in relation to widening and fragmenting social frames and networks. Such developments have raised questions concerning the nature of ethnographic presence and scales of comparison. Rather than taking key fieldwork processes such as globalization and mobility for granted, anthropologists are well-placed to examine and critique the totalizing assumptions behind the notions of 'locality' and 'site’. The editors are British academic anthropologists. ISBN/ASIN: 1845204034. Our Book No: 24537. $20 AUD.

Wantage, Oxon: Sean Kingston Publishing. 185 pp. Hardback octavo, no jacket as issued, very good plus condition, pictorial cover, black & white text-photos.

William Bell, the colonial government representative on Malaita, Solomon Islands, was murdered while collecting taxes in October 1927. The native police with him were also massacred. Bell was an Australian, a towering figure in the pacification of the wildest island in the Pacific, and his murder by the Kwaio warrior leader Basiana was the end of a confrontation between two strong men and two opposing ways of life. Basiana and his followers feared a pervasive threat to their ancestral way of life, and decided to challenge the power of Empire by killing its most forceful representative. The Kwaio people have never recovered from the subsequent random killing of the 'Malaitamen' by the Australian planters and volunteers requested by the British government, who arrived on the Australian gunboat HMAS Adelaide. Anthropologist Roger M. Keesing, who has spent 16 years among the Kwaio, and academic historian Peter Corris (who later became a crime fiction writer), reconstruct for the first time from both sides the events leading up to Bell's murder and its aftermath.

Heavy, and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. Carolyn Strange and Alison Bashford have written a biography of the great Australian academic (University of Sydney). Thomas Griffith Taylor (1880 - 1963) was a geographer, anthropologist and world explorer. They explain what drove this 'long, lean, lanky' man to such extremes: geographically, intellectually and politically. His travels took him from Captain Scott's final expedition in Antarctica to every continent on earth. In a life that stretched from the Boer War to the Cold War, he sought to enlighten the public on the human relation to the environment. As a geographer whose work crossed into anthropology, he courted controversy and craved recognition. Today's preoccupations with climate change, the ascendancy of Asian nations, and the renewed threat of nuclear war, were all addressed by Taylor generations earlier.
