Dubious that any society could exist without laws, Pospíšil immediately decided to live among and study the Kapauku. Learning the language and living as a participant-observer among the Kapauku, Pospíšil discovers that the supposedly primitive society possesses laws, rules, and social structures that are as sophisticated as they are logical. Having survived the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia and fled the Communist regime, Pospíšil has little patience for the notion that so-called advanced civilizations are superior to the 'stone age' society in which he now lives. On the basis of his research and experiences among the Kapauku - he would stay with them five times between 1954 and 1979 - Pospíšil pioneered in the field of legal anthropology, holding a professorship at Yale, serving as the anthropology curator of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, and publishing three books of scholarship on the Kapauku law. As Jaroslav Jiřík and Martin Soukup write in their afterword, however, "His three previously published works are about the Kapauku; this one is about the anthropologist among the Kapauku." The memoir is filled with charming anecdotes and thrilling stories of trials, travels, and war - told with humor and humility--and accompanied by a wealth of the author's personal photos from the time."--|cProvided by publisher 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Pospisil, Leopold J.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n50019809|xTravel|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005039|zPapua New Guinea.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/names/n81034915-781 600 17 Pospisil, Leopold J.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 6416 650 0 Anthropologists|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85005579|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Kapauku (New Guinean people)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85071553|xLegal status, laws, etc. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99004999 650 0 Law, Kapauku.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85075246 650 7 Travel.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1155558 650 7 Anthropologists|xBiography.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/810187 650 7 Anthropologists.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 810184 650 7 Kapauku (New Guinean people)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1430619 650 7 Law, Kapauku.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/994232 650 7 Manners and customs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1007815 651 0 Papua New Guinea|xSocial life and customs.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008116522 651 7 Papua New Guinea.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1212610 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 700 1 Jiřík, Jaroslav,|d1980-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no2016028813|1https://isni.org/isni/0000000056075846, |eeditor. 700 1 Soukup, Martin,|d1977-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2018068849|1https://isni.org/isni/0000000058844661, |eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aPospisil, Leopold J.|tAdventures in the Stone Age.|bFirst edition.|dPrague : Karolinum, 2021 |z9788024647517|w(OCoLC)1285695446 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=3317562|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
