In 1933 an Australian expedition discovered in the New Guinea
Highlands a people who had for thousands of years been living
isolated from the civilized world, the Chimbu. Never before was the
westernization of an isolated people so thoroughly examined. This
volume illustrates, contrary to widely held preconceptions about
the nature of primitive societies, that the Chimbu have always been
an adaptable people, whose concern for the present and for change
has surpassed their attachment to tradition and the past.
Originally published in 1973.

Fifty years ago the New Guinea highlands were isolated and unknown
to outsiders. As the highland peoples of New Guinea are among the
last large groups to be brought into the world community, they are
of major interest to ecologists, social anthropologists and
cultural historians. This study synthesises previous
anthropological research on the New Guinea highland peoples and
cultures and demonstrates the interrelations of ecological
adaptation, population and society. In describing, analysing and
comparing the technology, culture and community life of peoples of
the highland and the highland fringe, Professor Brown shows the
special character of these societies, which have developed in
isolation. In addition to examining the unique regional development
of the New Guinea highland peoples, this book, a study in
ecological and social anthropology, brings together theses two
analytical fields and demonstrates their interrelationships.
Achieve Success. Create Balance. Experience Fulfillment. It's the
elusive trifecta every working woman desperately seeks. Do you find
yourself trying to be everything to everyone? Do you run yourself
ragged but still feel something is missing? The struggle is real
and all too common. Paula Brown Stafford and Lisa T. Grimes are two
award-winning, c-suite executives who together have accumulated 60
plus years of work experience at the highest levels, 60 years of
marriage, and raised four successful children. Collectively, they
have managed more than 25,000 employees globally. Paula recently
retired as President, Clinical Development at QuintilesIMS and Lisa
has served as President & CEO of PurThread Technologies.
Although Paula and Lisa were fierce competitors 20 years ago, they
eventually formed a friendship and now, as a team, speak to
corporations and women's groups on a number of topics, including
Complementing Not Competing, Packing Your Potential, and The
Juggling Act. In a transparent and relatable way, Paula and Lisa
share personal experiences, insights and encouragement-what they
wish they'd known 30 years ago-to women looking for career
advancement and quality of life and men who want to improve their
working relationships with women. Each chapter includes a personal
letter from a successful female executive to her younger self that
offers wise counsel for aspiring professional women. For working
women who are still trying to 'have it all' but are left feeling
not 'good enough,' Paula and Lisa explain how achieving success,
creating balance and experiencing fulfillment begins and ends with
Remember(ing) Who You Are.
