First edition hardcover with original dust jacket. xix, 324 pp. Scholarly anthropological and ecological study of the G/wi San (Bushmen) peoples of Botswana's Central Kalahari Game Reserve, including bibliography and index. A substantial and respecte…d academic study blending anthropology, ecology, ethnography, and social organization in the Kalahari Desert. Silberbauer examines the adaptive systems, kinship structures, territorial organization, subsistence patterns, cosmology, and environmental relationships of the G/wi people, drawing on more than a decade of direct fieldwork in Botswana. The volume contains detailed analytical discussions, charts, kinship diagrams, ecological tables, and ethnographic observations that made it an important contribution to African studies and hunter-gatherer research during the late twentieth century. Published by Cambridge University Press, the work remains relevant to scholars of anthropology, indigenous studies, environmental adaptation, and African ethnography.

Silberbauer (1931-2013) was an Australian anthropologist best known for his pioneering fieldwork among San peoples of the Kalahari Desert.

Add to basketPaperback. George B. Silberbauer, Cambridge University Press. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: No dust jacketPages: Tanning and foxing Markings: Previous ownerCondition remarks: Condition as shown in imageA landmark work in ecological anthropology, Hunter and Habitat in the Central Kalahari Desert presents a meticulous and a…uthoritative study of the G/wi Bushmen and their profound relationship with one of Africa's most demanding environments. Silberbauer chronicles the daily lives, social structures, and survival strategies of this hunter-gatherer society, illustrating how their culture, movement patterns, and resource use are inseparably shaped by the rhythms of the Kalahari ecosystem. With a tone that is rigorously academic yet deeply humanistic, the work details the intricate ways in which the G/wi adapt to seasonal water scarcity, shifting game populations, and the harsh demands of desert life. Drawing on years of firsthand fieldwork, Silberbauer argues that the G/wi represent a sophisticated and finely tuned response to environmental pressures, challenging simplistic notions of primitive subsistence. An essential reference for scholars of anthropology, ecology, and African studies, this seminal text remains one of the most comprehensive accounts of Bushman life and desert human ecology ever produced. Paperback.

Page Condition: Yellowed, some tanning likely throughout. Markings: No visible markings. Binding: Appears intact but showing age-related wear. Stickers/Labels…: None visible. A landmark work in anthropology and human ecology, Hunter & Habitat in the Central Kalahari Desert presents a meticulous study of the G/wi Bushmen of Botswana's Central Kalahari Game Reserve. George B. Silberbauer, who spent years as a government officer and researcher among the G/wi, details the intricate relationship between this hunter-gatherer society and their harsh desert environment. The work chronicles the G/wi's social organisation, subsistence strategies, seasonal movements, and the sophisticated ecological knowledge that enabled their survival in one of the world's most unforgiving landscapes. Written with academic rigour yet remaining accessible, it argues that the G/wi's way of life represents a finely tuned adaptation to environmental constraints, offering profound insights into human resilience and the deep interdependence between a people and their land. Paperback.
