Trees, Knots and Outriggers (Kaynen Muyuw) is the culmination of
twenty-five years of work by Frederick H. Damon and his attention
to cultural adaptations to the environment in Melanesia. Damon
details the intricacies of indigenous knowledge and practice in his
sweeping synthesis of symbolic and structuralist anthropology with
recent developments in historical ecology. This book is a long
conversation between the author's many Papua New Guinea informants,
teachers and friends, and scientists in Australia, Europe and the
United States, in which a spirit of adventure and discovery is
palpable.
