Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Hardcover, xii + 242 pages, NOT ex-library. Limited signs of gentle wear. Book is clean, bright, untanned; unmarked text, free of inscriptions/stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Many observers of nomadic hunter-gatherers have adopted a scientific approach in their analyses. For the study of a society which, in many respects, still closely resembles the earliest form of human organization this is not altogether surprising. By contrast, in this book the author employs a humanistic approach to challenge the widely held emphasis on scientific explanation of social organization. It is argued here that social and cultural forms are to be understood in terms of the experience and knowledge of the people who create them. Concentrating particularly on the theoretical relationship between people's actions in everyday life and the social ideas which they share as members of the same culture, this study develops ideas which offer new insights into those aspects of hunter-gatherer society which are so often discussed in the literature. An important concern is with social change, dealing with hunter-gatherer society before and after contact with the West. Here a theory of social change, based on humanistic lines, is put forward. While this book is concerned with nomadic hunter-gatherer society in northern North America, it is primarily not an ethnographic study. Rather, it is a series of reflections on the social anthropology of hunter-gatherers incorporating new ideas and suggesting pathways for further research. This is one of the few books to give a humanistic approach to the study of hunter-gatherer societies. -- Contents: 1. Humanistic Approach & the Study of Nomadic Hunter-Gatherers [On Mythology, Cosmology & Knowledge of the Situation; Nomadic Hunter-Gatherers in the Arctic and Subarctic] 2.
