{"product_id":"gardens-of-war","title":"Gardens of War","description":"\u003cp\u003eExtraordinary and often frightening colour and black and white photography adorns this fairly amazing book about the Dugum Dani ( a Stone Age tribe of neolithic warrior farmers who live in the Central Highlands of Western New Guinea). At the time the photographs were taken, this tribe was virtually untouched by any forms of modern civilization and the book is the first full photographic record of them. They were practising ritual warfare at the time (that is, warfare which occurred regularly and was considered indispensable and sacred to the society) . In 1961 it was the  Harvard University Peabody Museum that mounted the expedition  to record their pristine world and the record is such that the great and famous Margaret Mead was co-opted to write a lengthy and important perceptive introduction to the book.  An amazing anthropology book in overall fine condition that would be a treasure in almost any library.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Love Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51365243191592,"sku":"48576","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lovevintagebooks.com.au\/products\/gardens-of-war","provider":"Love Vintage Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
