THIRTY YEARS IN THE SOUTH SEAS, by Richard Parkinson 1999 HBK Solomon Islands

Description: Thirty Years in the South Seas: Land and People, Customs and Traditions in the Bismarck Archipelago and on the German Solomon Islands, by Richard Parkinson; University of Hawaii Press, 1999. Hardback with dust jacket, as issued; xxxvi+378pp., with 56 plates, 4 maps, and 141 figures. Like new, never read, with just a bit of curling and wrinkling at the top and bottom edges of the dust jacket. Translated from the 1907 German edition, this is an important early ethnographic study of the islands now known as New Britain, New Ireland, New Hanover, Manus, and Buka and Bougainville and includes discussion of masks and totemism, languages and stories, and useful plants and animals. New price is $80. Buyer will prepay item + shipping as determined by the shipping calculator; if you don't see the shipping option you prefer, please contact me as I can probably accommodate your needs (but I do always try to select the option that offers the best value as the main pick). I'm always happy to do combined shipping so long as they're pieces that can safely ship together, but I do appreciate communication so I know what to expect. Sales tax should be automatically applied as applicable, and as always is the responsibility of the buyer. I try to ship within a day of getting notice of payment, but always as quickly as possible in any case. Please take a look at my other listings, I try to keep it interesting and will be listing a number of good scholarly books on Puerto Rico, Native America, archaeology and anthropology, and other topics.
