Excerpt from Nomads of the Long Bow: The Siriono of Eastern Bolivia:
This study 1 was carried out under the auspices of the Social Science Research Council, Of which I was a predoctoral fellow in 1940 – 41. It had its origin in 1939, when I was associated with the cross-cultural Survey at the Institute of Human Relations, Yale University. While studying there, I was privileged to get considerable exposure to the cross-disciplinary approach to the problems of culture and behavior which was, and still is, being emphasized at the Institute, expecially by Drs. Murdock, Hull, Dollard, Miller, Ford, and Whiting.

This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
