(1) 4-6 Scientists in the Field series. Photographs by A. Magdalena Hurtado & Kim Hill. This photo-essay introduces the field of anthropology through the work of one individual, Magdalena Hurtado, who studies the Aché, hunter-gatherers living in the tropical forests of Paraguay. The concisely written volume describes both Hurtado's work and the life of the contemporary Aché, who are "caught in an incredibly complex transition between the Stone Age and the Space Age." Bib., ind.
