Man; A Monthly Record Of Anthropological Science Royal Anthropological Institute Of Great Britain And Ireland (Volume Xv) 1915 Paperback - 2020

A vivid window into the making of modern anthropology. A monthly record of the debates, reports and field notes that shaped a fledgling discipline. Volume XV (1915) of Man presents the Royal Anthropological Institute's anthropological science journal at a decisive moment in early 20th century anthropology. Read the era's original voices. The volume gathers contemporary essays, ethnographic fieldwork collection and methodological discussion that inform human evolution studies and cultural anthropology research today; it is both a snapshot of period practice and a continuing resource for comparative study. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. As a 1915 historical publication and an important entry in British anthropological records, it sits comfortably in university libraries and private collections alike. Casual readers curious about Great Britain anthropology will find vivid, period-grounded accounts of fieldwork and debate, while classic-literature collectors will prize its provenance within the anthropology periodical archive. Equally at home on a scholar's shelf or a student's reading list, this volume serves as an academic reference for scholars and an anthropology students' resource for research into ethnography, human evolution studies and the wider history of cultural anthropology research. The careful reader will discover how contemporary observational habits and classificatory schemes were argued and recorded; lecturers and course designers will find reliable primary material for seminars. For anyone assembling a portrait of the discipline's early practice, this is an indispensable archival companion. Originally issued under the auspices of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, this volume reveals the research practices, editorial choices and scholarly networks that underpinned early professional anthropology. For collectors it is a conversation piece; for students it is a practical anthropology students' resource that connects theory to on-the-ground ethnographic fieldwork collection. Its presence in any anthropology periodical archive fills a gap for those studying the genealogy of ideas, human evolution studies and the institutional history of cultural anthropology research.
