About the Author
Oswald J. Werner has been Professor and Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Linguistics at Northwestern University, where he researched the Navajo language and culture.
He received his Bachelors in Applied Physics from the Technische Hochschule in Stuttgart, Germany in 1950. He received his Master’s in Anthropology from Syracuse University and his Doctorate in Anthropology at the University of Indiana in Bloomington, in 1963 under the anthropological linguist, C. F. Voegelin
During his professorship at Northwestern University (1965-1998) Werner helped implement a program in Anthropology and Public policy within the Department; undertook applied multi-year research programs in Navajo medicine and education with the Navajo Tribe, and Northwestern University Summer Field School in Applied Cultural and Linguistic Anthropology.
Werner has been active in his profession and served on committees of the National Institute of Mental Health, the American Anthropological Association, the Linguistic Society of America, and the Central States Anthropological Society. He also served with Cultural Anthropology Methods (renamed Field Methods) in 1989, and writes a regular column for the Journal.
G. Mark Schoepfle has devoted his entire career to applied anthropology in federal and tribal government, with an adjunct status in various academic institutions that have often helped support this research.
He received a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1968. Following his military service, he received his Master’s in 1972 and Doctorate in social anthropology 1977 from Northwestern University, under the anthropological linguist Oswald Werner, his dissertation chair.
His employment in anthropology began with the Navajo Tribal Division of Education. Here, under the supervision of Oswald Werner, he helped train and supervise Navajo researchers, and compile ethnographic reports of the Navajo Nation’s different school systems. What began originally as involvement with a one-year training and research project evolved into a 14-year research and teaching career on the Navajo Nation. It involved both research and training Navajos as active research participants and analysts, co-publishers, and findings presenters. Beginning in 1974, he was involved with Oswald Werner in developing a researcher’s training manual that finally became the two-volume Systematic Fieldwork published in 1987. From 1980 to 1984 he also served as Deputy Director of the Northwestern University Summer Field School in Ethnography.
In 1988 he shifted his career interests to auditing and evaluation at the Government Accountability Office, and later the Department of the Interior in Washington, DC. At the Department of the Interior, he has served as cultural anthropologist for the National Park Service’s program in applied ethnography, and at what is now the Office of Federal Acknowledgment.

Store description
Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop, founded in 2011 as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia, which is now operated by out former store manager as The Underground Bookshop. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women’s Initiative Mentorship Program. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.…
