520    "When Leopold Pospíšil first arrived in New Guinea in 1954
       to investigate the legal systems of the local tribes, he 
       was warned about the Kapauku who reputedly had no laws. 
       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
