[EAN: 9781108006644], Neubuch, [PU: Cambridge University Press, Cambridge], Paperback. First published in 1890 in a run of just 200 copies, anthropologist Henry Ling Roth's The Aborigines of Tasmania provides a comprehensive account of native Tasmanians' life and culture. Roth, writing in the wake of the Tasmanian Aborigines' extinction, produces 'an approach to absolute completeness' that relies on the accounts of the explorers, colonisers, and anthropologists who preceded him. His work covers an exhaustive range of detail, from the Tasmanians' mannerisms to their psychology, origin, and language. Compiling his predecessors' observations and arguments, Roth often sets opinions in opposition to highlight the lack of consensus amongst those who encountered the Tasmanians. Roth's book is additionally valuable for the 'vocabularies' included in his appendices. The 1899 edition (225 copies) revises and expands the first, adding photographs to the first edition's illustrations as well as new appendices. It made an innovative and lasting contribution to an established research tradition. Comprehensive, detailed, and fascinating, Henry Ling Roth's The Aborigines of Tasmania charts the life and culture of Aboriginal Tasmanians. Roth's study compiles primary records and observations of this 'lost race', including 'vocabularies' and dialects. It provides rich documentation of original research that remains relevant a century later. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability., Books<
