Whether you are looking to broaden your knowledge of Native North American history, or simply seeking to enhance your library with a literary treasure, take a look at one of our latest acquisitions: “CULTURAL AND NATURAL AREAS OF NATIVE NORTH AMERICA,” By A. L. Kroeber, Professor of Anthropology in the University of California.

Penned and published for the first time in 1931 and published for a second time in 1947, this book was intended for “the veteran anthropologist, the beginning student, and the interested layman.” [front cover] Our copy is in very good condition, and only has some slight tears to the slip cover.

The contents include but are not limited to: Culture areas, climaxes, and boundaries; Tribal synonyms; Pronunciation of tribal names; Authorities used for vegetation maps; Sources of Eskimo culture; Ecological Phases; Many Culture Areas, ranging from the Southwest to the Intermountain Areas and beyond – even as far as Mexico and Central America; and Relations of environmental and cultural factors.

The book is out of print, so we are honored to be one of the few carriers of this informational, cultural and historical publication. Learn more about this piece of literature and even add it to your Adobe Gallery Wish List by clicking here.
