John Martin (1789-1869) was a London-based, Edinburgh-educated
physician interested in anthropological matters. This is his only
book. He was inspired to write it by a chance encounter with its
subject, William Mariner (1791-1853) who spent four years
(1806-1810) in Tonga, in the South Pacific, one of the earliest
European residents at a time before European influence disturbance
or modification society. Mariner, an extraordinarily mature and
perceptive youth, became thoroughly imbued with Tongan language and
culture as the adopted son of the most powerful chief in Tonga.
Thanks to Martin's intelligent engagement with Mariner resulted in
a compelling narrative and a comprehensive account of Tongan
society which became a classic. Often celebrated as an
extraordinary real-life adventure story, it is a pioneering work of
anthropology, and for 200 years it has been a primary and
authoritative source for research into Tongan history and culture.
This volume is the first in a planned series of thematic volumes
for Advances in Virus Research. It covers the etiology,
pathogenetic mechanisms, and clincial consequences of human
neurotropic viruses. Buchmeier is a virologist, Campbell an
immunologist, and both are extremely well known in their fields.
Numerous illustrations including colour
Knowledgeable discussion of the potential role of viral infections
in teratogenic and developmental disorders.
Frank discussion of the role of stress in disease
Behavioural consequences of chronic CNS infection
Campbell presents a study of the lives and experiences of Europeans
and Americans in the age of early industrial overseas expansions,
who became detatched from their own societies and lived, sometimes
for many years, among Pacific Islanders as integrated members of
their communities, often with little hope of returning home and
frequently with no wish to do so. As engaging as primitivism was to
European philosophers, the realities of contact between seafarers
and islanders who faced previously unimagined technological and
human marvels were much more pragmatic. Jealousy, ethnocentrism,
and violence on both sides competed with humanitarian interests and
indigenous hospitality to shape the emerging pattern of
relationships. At first, Europeans crossed the oceans only for
compelling reasons: the passion for scientific research, the
dedication to Christian evangelism, or the uncompromising profit
motive. Later, settlers and government officials followed in the
wake of these early explorers. Scattered in the interstices of
contact relationships were large numbers of men whose interest was
not in changing native society or profiting from it, but in
experiencing primitive life and simply surviving itself. These men
included castaways and deserters, some abandoned by their captains
and others kidnapped by the islanders. Their prospects depended on
their successful integration into Polynesian society--and in making
themselves useful by applying European knowledge and skills to
local situations and by mediating between islanders and their
insistent visitors.
