New Guinea's Highlanders Encounter the Outside World.
"Beginning in 1930, a series of expeditions led by the Australian Michael Leahy went looking for gold in the unexplored highlands of New Guinea and found instead an intact civilization of nearly one million people who had had no previous contact with the outside world. During four years of "first contact" exploration, Leahy took thousands of photographs of these tribal people and shot many reels of film footage, documenting an event that can never again take place on earth: the confrontation on a large scale -- and ultimately the collision -0- of Western and pretechnological cultures."

317 pages. Cover price $19.95 on the dust jacket. The book has some shelfwear and minimal spotting. DJ looks spiffy.

Brimming with photographs and an anthropological treasure chest from the past. Enjoy....
