About The Book

Eminent Biologist Sir Baldwin Spencer (18601929) Was Born In Lancashire But Moved To Australia To Take Up The Chair In Biology At The University Of Melbourne In 1887.

Spencer And Gillen Returned To Alice Springs In Central Australia In 18961897 To Carry Out Observations On The Local Aboriginal Tribe The Arunta. These Observations Were Published In 1899 In The Native Tribes Of Central Australia (Also Reissued In This Series) Which Represented The Most Comprehensive Study Of Aboriginal Customs And Habits. Gillen And Spencer Continued To Undertake Fieldwork Until 1903. Volume 1 Of Across Australia (Published In Two Volumes In 1912) Describes The Region''S Topography And The Customs And Beliefs Of The Arunta.
