Renowned anthropologist and sociologist Peter Worsley begins \u003ci\u003eKnowledges\u003c\/i\u003e with his ongoing investigation of Australian aboriginal approaches to science and the natural world, and goes on to shatter conventional distinctions between science and culture, knowledge and belief. On the way, Worsley treats us to a lively and accessible examination of pre-European navigation of the Pacific, Western medicine, sub- and countercultures, nationalism, religion, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the iconology of Disneyland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Worsley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1565845552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781565845558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 5.79w x 1.21d","brand":"Peter Worsley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305331081471,"sku":"9781565845558","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_12b6d4e2-c1ed-4908-947e-d5d34b2b95ac.jpg?v=1758830591","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knowledges-peter-worsley-9781565845558","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
