Series: Cambridge Studies in Social & Cultural Anthropology, 39. ["The Bara, or Fish People, of the Northwest Amazon form part of an unusual network of intermarrying local communities scattered along the rivers of this region. Each community belongs to one of sixteen different groups that speak sixteen different languages, and marriages must take place between people not only from different communities but with different primary languages. In a network of this sort, which defies the usual label of 'tribe', social identity assumes a distinct and unusual configuration. In this book, Jean Jackson's incisive discussions of Bara marriage, kinship, spatial organization, and other features of the social and geographic landscape show how Tukanoans (as participants in the network are collectively known) conceptualize and… Read More

History of Science MIT Press Cambridge [MA] (2006) orig.cloth 24x15cm, x,395 pp. "This work presents an analysis of the intersection of science and music in nineteenth-century Germany: how music provided physicists with a venue for experiments as well as a cultural resource, and how physics assisted musicians in their art and musical instrument makers in their craft. Historically, music was long classified as both art and science. Aspects of music - from the mathematics of tuning to the music of the celestial spheres - were primarily studied as science until the seventeenth century. In the nineteenth century, although scientists were less interested in the music of the spheres than the natural philosophers of earlier centuries, they remained committed to understanding the world of performing musicians and their instruments. In "Harmonious Triads", Myles Jackson analyzes the relationship of physicists, musicians, and… Read More
