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!)
Alex Golub is an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He studies mining and petroleum development in Papua New Guinea, as well as American culture in to the online game World of Warcraft. You can contact him at rex@savageminds.org
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.
