Natural Man: A Record from Borneo - Charles Hose

Natural Man: A Record from Borneo – Charles Hose (1988 by Oxford University Press) IDR. 450.000 Kondisi bekas masih sangat baik . Genre: History/Anthropology/Nature . Summary Recruited to the Sarawak Civil Service as a cadet officer in 1884. Charles Hose proved to be a capable and humane administrator, a keen naturalist who, during his twenty-three years of service in Borneo, enriched zoological and botanical records with many new species, and an enthusiastic (if somewhat unreliable) anthropologist. Justly, he may be described as one of the last of the great Victorian amateurs. The customs and beliefs of the various peoples who inhabit the northern part of Borneo are the subject of Natural Man, which describes their tribal and village life, and arts and crafts; their creeds and superstitions, and morals and mentality. Primarily written for a popular audience (which the authors earlier two-volume Pagan Tribes of Borneo could not reach), Natural Man, despite its flaws in approach, remains a fascinating work of cultural anthropology which today #39;s reader will find as engrossing as his predecessor did sixty years ago. Natural Man is introduced by Dr Brian Durrans of the Museum of Mankind.
