Publisher's Synopsis
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Magic and Fetishism by Alfred C. Haddon.Alfred Cort Haddon was born on May 24, 1855, near London, the oldest son of John Haddon, head of a firm of founders and printers. She attended lectures at King's College London and taught zoology and geology at a girls' school in Dover, before entering Christ's College Cambridge in 1875. At Cambridge I studied zoology and became friends with John Holland Rose (later Harmsworth Professor of Naval History), whose sister he married in 1881. Shortly after earning his master's degree in Arts, he was appointed Protester in Zoology at Cambridge in 1879. During for a time I studied marine biology in Naples. Alfred C Haddon, Sc.D., FRS, FRGS (May 24, 1855 - April 20, 1940, Cambridge) was an influential British anthropologist and ethnologist. Initially a biologist, who accomplished his most remarkable fieldwork, with WHR Rivers, CG Seligman, and Sidney Ray on the Torres Strait islands.I've returned to Christ's College, Cambridge, where I've had a university student, and effectively founded the School of Anthropology. Haddon was a major influence on the work of the American ethnologist Caroline Furness Jayne. In 2011, Haddon's 1898 recordings Recordings of the Cambridge Anthropological Expedition to the Torres Strait were added to Australia's National Record of Sound and Film Files.
