'Monty' tells the story of one of Australia's best-known anthropologists: Charles Pearcy Mountford. This remarkable man was born in 1890 in the Outback settlement at Hallett. Without academic training, he became an authority on Aborigines and published many articles and photographs throughout his life. He earned a Diploma in Anthropology at Cambridge and his Masters Degree from the University of Adelaide. Both of these degrees were earned late in life. Monty has always been a controversial figure, a man of wit, courage and resolution. Despite initial disadvantages, he became one of the world's leading authorities on the culture of the Australian Aborigines. This book is fascinating reading and it has many b&w photographs from Monty's archival materials. This book is in excellent condition. However, the DJ has a tear on the back near the spine as shown in the photo. This can easily be taped, but I will let you do that. This book is difficult to find in any condition.
