Since its first publication in 1979, this book, together with its
companion volume, The Palm and the Pleiades by Stephen Hugh-Jones,
has become established as 'the most competent and sophisticated
ethnography to date of any South American tropical forest people'
(The Times Higher Education Supplement). Both are now available for
the first time in paperback. The book is an integrated account of a
Northwest Amazonian society, which elucidates the structural models
that underlie and unify the domains of kinship, religion, politics
and economics. These dynamic models are built from a rich corpus of
ethnographic data drawn from extensive field research, and are
developed in such a way that, as far as possible, they reproduce an
Indian theory of society. Besides enhancing anthropological
understanding of a fascinating culture area, the book's highly
original approach makes it an important contribution to the general
theory of social and cultural structures.
Over the last few years there has been a substantial increase in
the interest not only by the medical profession but also the media
in the role of testosterone in health and disease. This interest
has been mirrored by a rapid increase in research publications and
development of improved modes of delivery of testosterone therapy.
The second edition of this successful pocketbook provides
clinicians with an update on the management of testosterone
deficiency in men, and covers updated management guidelines, a new
chapter on testosterone and mortality, and a concluding chapter of
helpful case vignettes.
The domestic unit is inseparable from its homestead, and the "house," at once a physical place and a social unit, is often also a unit of production and consumption, a cult group, and even a political faction. Inspired by Lévi-Strauss' suggestion that the multi-functional noble houses of Medieval Europe were simply the best-known examples of a widespread social institution, the contributors to this collection analyze "house" systems in Southeast Asia and South America, exploring the interrelationships among buildings, people, and ideas. They reveal some of the ways in which houses can stand for social groups and serve as images of process and order.
When it was first published in 1979, this book, together with its
companion volume, From the Milk River, by Christine Hugh-Jones, was
hailed as setting 'a new standard for South American ethnographers,
one to be emulated' (Third World Quarterly). Both are now available
for the first time in paperback. The book is an extended study in
English of Amazonian ritual. Through an analysis of a secret men's
cult widespread throughout Northwest Amazonia, Hugh-Jones builds up
a general picture of a South American Indian society, and of a
religious and cosmological system that is common to a large area of
Northwest Amazonia. The book is also an exercise in the
anthropological interpretation of ritual, myth and religious
symbolism from a structuralist point of view.
Provides expanded information which includes sections on historic
background, current principles, and anticipated future changes, and
consideration of the latest knowledge of human and veterinary
medicine in the field of zoonoses. A chapter summary and selected
bibliography for each of the first six chapters.
Men with Asperger's Syndrome, young and old, experience difficulty
with social interaction, which can be a stumbling block when it
comes to getting a girlfriend. Here is a book that demystifies the
enigma of 'relationships' by explaining everything in
Asperger-friendly terms (some of them mathematical,
naturally).Asperger Meets Girl provides hope for all hopeless
wooers by offering a choice of three interrelated abstract models
for understanding boy - girl relationships. And, to make life
easier, these models are presented in graph form where possible.
The book also gives valuable practical tips for maximising one's
chances of successfully developing a relationship, such as how to
start a conversation without scaring the other person off, avoiding
the inclination to stare and understanding the concept of 'personal
space'. Serious, and seriously funny, this book will help bring
happy endings to Asperger boys and make them laugh in the process.

CHAPTER XII. OBJECTIONS BY DR. HALLEY AND OTHERS. In this chapter I
shall briefly refer to other objections against baptism by
immersion. THE MODESTY OF EASTEEN WOJIEN. ".Let any one (says Dr.
Halley) consider the habits of Oriental women, concealed rather
than adorned with their veils, and then resolve the inquiry,
whether it is probable that the women of Judea, exposed to the gaze
of promiscuous crowda, would submit to be immersed in the Jordan by
John the Baptist. It is to me incredible that Jewish women resorted
to a public immersion, and none the less so, because immersion in
private, with so much care and circumspection, was practised on the
admission of female proselytes to the privileges of their nation."
" Halley on the Sacraments," pp. 315, 316. In regard to this, we
observe:? (1.) That the meaning of baptizo is to immerse, and
objections from supposed difficulties cannot do away with the
evidence adduced to prove that it is such, (2.) Women were baptized
in the apostolic age, and were consequently immersed. (3.) That the
inference drawn from Jewish proselyte baptism is not to the point,
as Jewish proselyte baptism can- not be proved to have existed till
some centuries after Christ. See the first chapter. (4.) That
whatever may have been the modesty of female converts in the
apostolic age, it is very probable, if not certain, that Indian
women are as modest and of as secluded habits as the women of
Judea, Greece, or Asia Minor ever were. The late Hon. and Rev. B.
W. Noel, M.A., in his essayon " The External Act of Baptism," pp.
81?84, furnished several instances of women immersing themselves at
the sacred festivals of the Hindoos. I find the following instance
also in an extract from Mr. Chamberlain's journal, inserted in Dr.
Cos's " History of t...
