Description:... Many of the papers of this collection were presented at the Special Session to Honor Dr. Philip J.C. Dark (editor of Pacific Arts, the publication of the Pacific Arts Association) held in October 1999 at the Field Museum in Chicago. Written by an international group of specialists, the 29 papers of this impressive volume consider topics that include the impact of commercial development on traditional culture, issues of collections and display in museums, the applications of ethnographic photography to anthropological study, as well as many papers on specific individuals, works, and collections. The volume is well illustrated with b&w and color plates. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
