Oxford, Berg, (1992). Reprint. Wrappers, map, figures, pp. vii, 188. Fine. ISBN 0 85496 854 7. "... a remarkable work which captures the reader's imagination as only a few books do: from a description of the counting system of the Iqwaye people of Papua New Guinea, the author develops a deeper and broader interpretation of the Iqwaye kinship system and cosmology, culminating in a powerful critique of western assumptions about the development of rational thought" (cover blurb). Keywords: Pacific PNG Papua New Guinea Iqwaye Highlands Yagwoia tribe Morobe Province anthropology cosmology kinship counting system systems numbers infinity number concept numeration mathematics maths ethnography philosophy rational thought ( more information)
