"Kenneth Emory, pioneer anthropologist of the Pacific, sailed with Jack London, worked with Margaret Mead
and encouraged a youthful Jacques Cousteau. He spoke three Polynesian dialects.
Natives of South Sea Islands took him into their homes and called him'Keneti.'...
This biography describes the unusual marriage of science and adventure that marked Emory's
strenuous expeditions for the Bishop Museum...also serves an intimate history of anthropology in the Pacific,
and as a study of Polynesian islands in transition over 5 decades..." CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
