The Challenge of Anthropology
Author: Robin Fox
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 9781412819275
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
The Challenge of Anthropology is a companion to Robin Fox's highly successful Encounter with Anthropology. Fox illustrates how anthropology must constantly learn from the natural and behavioral sciences. The Challenge of Anthropology takes the author's own work as a barometer of the state of discipline, and shows the range of possibilities anthropology offers. Fox covers a vast array of topics: the psychology of aggression, war, and ideology; Frazer and Virgil; social complexity; kinship and marriage, prejudice and cognition; mythology; and Marxism, among others.

Atlas of Butterflies and Diurnal Moths in the Monsoon Tropics of Northern Australia
Author: Michael Braby
Publisher: ANU Press
ISBN: 1760462330
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 463
Book Description
Northern Australia is one of few tropical places left on Earth in which biodiversity—and the ecological processes underpinning that biodiversity—is still relatively intact. However, scientific knowledge of that biodiversity is still in its infancy and the region remains a frontier for biological discovery. The butterfly and diurnal moth assemblages of the area, and their intimate associations with vascular plants (and sometimes ants), exemplify these points. However, the opportunity to fill knowledge gaps is quickly closing: proposals for substantial development and exploitation of Australia’s north will inevitably repeat the ecological devastation that has occurred in temperate southern Australia—loss of species, loss of ecological communities, fragmentation of populations, disruption of healthy ecosystem function and so on—all of which will diminish the value of the natural heritage of the region before it is fully understood and appreciated. Written by several experts in the field, the main purpose of this atlas is to compile a comprehensive inventory of the butterflies and diurnal moths of northern Australia to form the scientific baseline against which the extent and direction of change can be assessed in the future. Such information will also assist in identifying the region’s biological assets, to inform policy and management agencies and to set priorities for biodiversity conservation.
