First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 235 pages with plates, figures, and maps. Quarto (11 3/4" x 9 3/4") issued in black cloth with red lettering to spine. Translated by Ann Leslie Davis. Erratum laid in. 1st edition. Since time immemorial, people have attempted to archive their thoughts and views of the natural cosmos - whether through the collection of iconographic textiles, counting ropes, feather rods, bamboo or wool shields or picture writing, sculpture, depictions, tiles and masks. Animals formed of stone, wood and clay show clearly that animals have served as representatives for religious, mythical and political ideas, and as symbols of power. Within an Indian context, the magic, fertility, but also defenselessness and stupidity. The serpent, in contrast, appears as a mediator between humans and their gods and was always honored as a symbol for their fertility in the old Indian cultures. The portrayals of both jaguar and serpent are influenced the results of religious interpretations and differ according to time period and social structure. Plants also belong within this scenario: As a rule, they embody the qualities of fertility and health, which are only initiated through ritual mediation. Even the most utilitarian activity, the preparation of food in the kitchen, evinces the connection between practical and interpretive knowledge of nature. Condition: Fine in like jacket.

Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. KurzbeschreibungZur Ausstellung ,Auf der Suche nach Vielfalt. Ethnographie und Geographie in Leipzig", die vom 4. Dezember 2009 bis zum 14. Februar 2010 im Grassi-Museum fur Volkerkunde zu Leipzig gezeigt wird, ist ein umfangreicher Begleitband im Eigenverlag des IfL erschienen. Ausstellung und Publikation wurden vom Museum fur Volkerkunde zu Leipzig, vom Institut fur Ethnologie der Universitat Leipzig und vom Leibniz-Institut fur Landerkunde gemeinsam erarbeitet. Im Buch widmen sich 33 Beitrage verschiedenen Facetten der Wissenschaftsgeschichte von Ethnographie und Geographie in Leipzig. Dabei stehen die Uberseeforschungen und ihr Niederschlag in den Leipziger Sammlungen im Vordergrund. Die Aufsatze gliedern sich in die vier Themenblocke: Expeditionen und Erforschungen, Lehren und Theorien, Sammlungen und Verluste, Engagement und Resonanz. Im Jubilaumsjahr der Leipziger Universitat wird damit erstmals in einer interdisziplinaren Publikation auf die Geschichte der drei beteiligten Institutionen und der von ihnen vertretenen beiden Disziplinen ausfuhrlich eingegangen. Die Bedeutung Leipzigs als wichtiger Wissenschaftsstandort im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert wird ebenso eindrucklich belegt wie die engen Beziehungen und vielfaltigen Beruhrungspunkte der beiden Disziplinen Erd- und Volkerkunde.
