Summary
""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
