Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. ix+419 pages with index, bibliography and charts. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") issued in gold cloth with red lettering to spine and gold dust jacket with pictorial on cover and spine and black lettering on spine and cover. First edition. This work analyzes the structure and functioning of an extensive regional peasant marketing system with aboriginal antecedents. It considers the impact upon such a system of the modern industrializing economy of Mexico-a system involving hundreds of villages and numerous marketplaces and traders serving nearly a million people in the distribution of goods valued at over a billion pesos annually. The study identifies the multiplicity of economic roles open to participants, the complexities of a specialized production system and the diverse ways it operates in relation to different commodities and the conduct of trade by various kinds of functionaries. Such problems as supply and demand, price, capital, market results, and the interplay of economic, cultural and social factors are delete with. Data on growth and change under the impact of the modern national economy in the last twenty-five years are presented for the system as a whole and for a specialized village. Throughout the work attention is paid to economic alternatives and the basis for choices made. In many ways, the marketing system described approaches the economist's ideal model of a free market. Because of the high degree of village specialization, in contrast to other peasant marketing systems, the Oaxaca system serves primarily the interchange of goods among the peasant villages rather than the provisioning of the City. As a result, the system shows remarkable adaptability and vitality in the face of influences from the industrializing national economy. Condition: Light edge wear. Dust jacket spine sunned, lightly soiled. A very good to fine copy in a near fine dust jacket.

He is still active in the Texas Archaeological Society and is often a frequent speaker. Richard E Adams His professional career spanned the evolution of modern field archaeology from its rough beginnings to the somewhat more sophisticated present. When he began his life's work as an archaeologist, travel to remote ruins was often on foot with the mule-train, or via dugout canoes. This later evolved into the use of trucks and jeeps, and later still to the use of planes and helicopters. He was a passionate advocate throughout his career against the looting of archaeological sites worldwide. Condition: Thomas R Hester and Richard E Adams signatures on front wrapper.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 28-39 pages with table. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Volume 34, number 1. First edition. The anthropological research problems of Mexico and Guatemala (excluding archaeology) differ from problems in the South American countries outside the Andean region in that in these countries there exist today few native peoples whose culture has not been much changed by European contacts. Consequently little "pure" ethnological field work may be done. Among most groups, ethnology, in the sense of the study of non-European peoples, must be limited to documentary research and to the retrieving of survivals within the contemporary mixed cultures. In most cases such "rescue" work probably can be done most profitably in connection with field work directed at least partly toward other objectives. Condition: Spine sunned, previous owner's name to front wrapper, corners bumped, binding separated from text block else about very good.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. xxxviii+331 pages with maps, tables, photographs and indexes. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original pictorial cloth. Prologue by Robert V Kemper First Spanish edition. Perhaps no region of North America is as little known to anthropologists as northern Mexico, between the border with the United States and a line that runs from the mouth of the Pánuco River to the southern limit of the state of Jalisco. This section has generally been considered a place of transition, an area in which the cultures of southern Mexico have blended with the culture of the Pueblo Indians. The work of discovering the relationships between the cultures of North America and Mexico cannot be completed without many years of study, and it may be well to make it clear from the very beginning that this work is not intended to be definitive. It limits itself to systematically gathering a part of the information available on northern Mexico and suggesting certain tentative conclusions. Condition: Spine ends and corners bumped else very good.
