More Anthro Classics on Google
Following up on “Oneman’s latest post”:http://savageminds.org/2007/02/07/notes-and-queries-on-anthropology/#re, I thought I’d link to some other classics that are online for quick reference. They’re not hard to find but heh, I google so you don’t have to:
“Dream and Gibes”:http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC18503483&id=FzMLAAAAIAAJ&dq=sapir&as_brr=1 – the poetry of Edward Sapir
“Language”:http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC00853469&id=klwKAAAAIAAJ&dq=sapir&as_brr=1 by Edward Sapir
“Primitive Society”:http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC00928466&id=DdgKAAAAIAAJ&dq=paul+radin&as_brr=1 by Robert Lowie
“Mind of Primitive Man”:http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC01171659&id=4tUKAAAAIAAJ&dq=franz+boas&as_brr=1 (thanks Oneman!)
“Principles of Sociology”:http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC70253400&id=lywpqdwukdwC&dq=franz+boas&as_brr=1 Herbert Spencer
“Myth, Ritual, and Religion”:http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC00715867&id=PvBD6iPUaZYC&dq=franz+boas&as_brr=1 Andrew Lang
“Suicide”:http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC26104723&id=SQ0FAAAAMAAJ&dq=durkheim&as_brr=1 by Durkheim (in French)
“Head-Hunters Black, White, and Brown”:http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC00635247&id=dG8cAAAAMAAJ&dq=Alfred+Haddon
These are just the ones with PDF downloads. Many more are available full-text. They even have copies of old issues of American Anthropologist on there (sssshh — Don’t tell the AnthroSource business model!)
According to Google: “for users outside the U.S., we make determinations [about pdf downloads] based on appropriate local laws.”
A quick search indicates that users in India and the Czech Republic can download pdfs; I presume there are lots of other countries where this is possible.
Canada seems to be one of the restrictive countries … unless I am missing something. Any suggestions anyone?
Having looked at your links, however, I notice that there is some kind of user id in the URL. So clicking on the links always gave me a page limit error. If you remove the user data as in http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC00715867 it works. Unfortunately this book seems to be the only one available in full text (not pdf) in Germany.
