Translated from the Bengali by Sreejata Guha. New Delhi ; New York, New York: Penguin Books, 2006, later printing number line, 315pp., . The present collection of stories, all set in Calcutta of the fifties and sixties, brings together four mysteries that put the sleuth's remarkable mental agility to the ultimate test. In The Menagerie (adapted by master film-maker Satyajit Ray for his 1967 film Chiriakhana ) Byomkesh cracks a strange case involving broken motor parts, a seemingly natural death and the peculiar inhabitants of Golap Colony who seem capable of doing just about anything to safeguard the secrets of their tainted pasts. In The Jewel Case , he investigates the mysterious disappearance of a priceless necklace, while in The Will That Vanished he solves a baffling riddle to fulfil the last wish of a close friend. And in The Quills of the Porcupine , the shrewd detective is in his element as he expertly foils the sinister plans of a ruthless opportunist. ISBN 9780143061960 9.30. …

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 1292-1322 pages with map, tables and cited references. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Volume 63 Number 6 complete issue. From the library of Robert van Kemper. First edition. The study "Distribution of Hereditary Blood Antigens among American Indians in Middle America: Lacandón and Other Maya" by G. Albin Matson, published in American Anthropologist in 1961 (Vol. 63, Issue 6), examines blood group frequencies in Maya populations, finding that they are predominantly group O, which is typical for American Indian groups. The study also notes the presence of A and B genes, suggesting potential racial crossing, and observes that more isolated Maya communities, such as the Lacandón, Tzeltal, Tzotzil, and Mam, exhibit the highest frequencies of the O gene. Robert V. Kemper, born in San Diego, California, on November 21, 1945, resided in Dallas, Texas, where he was Professor of Anthropology at Southern Methodist University. He received his Ph.D. in Anthropology in 1971 from the University of California at Berkeley and spent the academic year 1971-1972 there as a National Endowment for the Humanities Post-Doctoral Fellow in Mexican American Studies before joining the SMU faculty. At SMU, he served as Chair of the Department of Anthropology, President of the Faculty Senate, and member of the University Board of Trustees. His research interests included migration and urbanization, history of anthropology, community development, tourism, Mexico, and the United States. His numerous publications include Anthropologists in Cities (1974), Migration and Adaptation: Tzintzuntzan Peasants in Mexico City (1977), Migration Across Frontiers: Mexico and the United States (1979), Chronicling Cultures: Long-Term Field Research in Anthropology (2002), and Urban Life (5th ed., 2010). He has served as President of the Society for Latin American Anthropology and the Society for Urban Anthropology, as well as editor of Human Organization, editor for Social-Cultural Anthropology of the American Anthropologist, and associate editor for Urban Anthropology.
