W. H. R. Rivers, who has been called 'the founder of the modern
study of social organization', exerted an immense influence on his
contemporaries and successors. This volume reprints three of his
lectures, delivered in 1913 and first published in 1914, which
provide a short and brilliant exposition of his theoretical
approach, and are exemplary of his handling of ethnographic
evidence. His theme is the relationship between kinship
terminologies and social organization, more particularly forms of
marriage, a subject still of lively theoretical interest. Also
included is the same author's The Genealogical Method of
Anthropological Enquiry, first published in 1910, a classic of
anthropological methodology, and Professor Raymond Firth of the
London School of Economics and Professor David Schneider of the
University of Chicago provide commentaries estimating the past and
present importance of Rivers in British and American Anthropology
respectively.
First Published in 1999. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.

First published in 1914, W. H. R. Rivers' hugely influential study
was the first to effectively demonstrate the close connection
between methods of denoting relationship or kinship and forms of
social organisation, including those based on different forms of
the institution of marriage. He also shows that the terminology of
relationship has been rigorously determined by social conditions
and that, therefore, systems of relationship furnish us with a most
valuable instrument in studying the history of social institutions.
This series of lectures was orginally delivered by the author in
May 1914, at the London School of Economics. They are based on the
experiences of the Percy Sladen Trust Expedition to Melanesia in
1908.

One of the most fascinating men of his generation, W.H.R. Rivers
was a British doctor and psychiatrist as well as a leading
ethnologist. Immortalized as the hero of Pat Barker's award-winning
Regeneration trilogy, Rivers was the clinician who, in the First
World War, cared for the poet Siegfried Sassoon and other infantry
officers injured on the western front. His researches into the
borders of psychiatry, medicine and religion made him a prominent
member of the British intelligentsia of the time, a friend of H.G.
Wells, George Bernard Shaw and Bertrand Russell. Part of his appeal
lay in an extraordinary intellect, mixed with a very real interest
in his fellow man. Medicine, Magic and Religion is a prime example
of this. A social institution, it is one of Rivers' finest works.
In it, Rivers introduced the then revolutionary idea that
indigenous practices are indeed rational, when viewed in terms of
religious beliefs.
First published in 1999. This is Volume V of six of a series on
Anthropology and Psychology. Written in 1928, this book is a
collection of essays and series of memoirs on ethnological subjects
that are scattered in volumes not readily accessible to students.
