First edition.The interpretation of Ojibwa acculturation presented here is an attempt to relate culture to personality through four conceptual levels: institutional patterns that characterize the reservation as a subculture within American culture, role patterns that permit us to identify specific points of conflict between the subculture and its environment, the Indian self-image, and individual response to the contemporary situation in psychological terms.

It also includes articles about chess history and stories about how these great games came to be played. It has also become one of the most controversial chess books ever written.

Sir Edward Destry, head of a distinguished publishing house in London, has been friends with his most successful author, the dashing French war hero Nicolas Fabry, for thirty years.

When Fabry publishes a new novel in France that rockets to the top of the bestseller list and wins the country's most prestigious literary prize, Sir Edward plunges into grief and fury. Fabry's fiction is no fiction. Its heroine is modeled on the only woman Sir Edward ever loved - and for whose tragic suicide Destry took the blame.

This essay examines the origins of State controls on the representation of interests in Mexico through an analysis of the registration process for workers' trade unions between 1954 and 1976.

Quarto (11" x 8 1/2") issued in brown wrappers with black lettering to cover and spine and pictorial pottery on covers. Archaeological Survey of Canada Paper 14. First edition.In this study the pottery of southern Alberta has been divided into two major ceramic complexes, labelled Saskatchewan Basin and Cluny Respectively, and the former has been subdivided into Early and Late Variants. It is evident that the Saskatchewan Basin complex is present throughout the Late Prehistoric and Protohistoric periods, but that the Cluny complex is limited to the Protohistoric only. The Saskatchewan Basin complex appears to have originated in the pottery of southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba, to the east, and has very little correspondence to materials in the Missouri Basin and Central Plains regions, to the south. In contrast, the Cluny complex is obviously, derived from ceramic transitions centering in the… Read More

Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original publisher's pictorial jacket. First edition. Jacobs focuses on the Revolution as it developed in Guerrero, the rebellious Mexican state still frequently at odds with central authority. His is the first account in English of the genesis and development of the Revolution in this important Mexican state, and it is the only detailed history in any language of Guerrero in the period 18767 to 1940. Stressing as it does the conservative tendencies of the Revolution in Mexico, this is a major contribution to revisionist history. It is a striking example of the new trend toward local and regional studies of Mexican history that are transforming much of the conventional wisdom about modern Mexico. Condition: Corners bumped.

225-234 page with bibliography. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's wrappers Volume 31, Number 3 complete issue. First edition. Studies of friendship have emphasized the socio-demographic attributes of "friends," or the rules governing conduct between them, including the rights, duties, and privileges of friendship. This paper supplements earlier studies by focusing on the variable identification of friends under differing circumstances, thereby illustrating the method of situational analysis applied to data other than the manipulation of ethnic identities. Research on friendships among middle-class Americans is interpreted in terms of this perspective. Condition: Spine sunned, spine heal bumped else very good.
