| Publisher Description: "An outstanding and innovative study on hunting, gardening, and love magic among the Aguaruna. . . . It is] both highly useful ethnographically and an important contribution to the understanding of how a primitive culture conceptualizes its transactions with nature. The book touches on cosmology and religion as well as the ethnoecology of hunting and agriculture--with an interlude on sex." --American Ethnologist |
