The fascinating story of the expeditions of Kenya's greatest scientists who discovered a civilization lost for more than 5,000 years, the Weans of the Great West, or Salt, Continent. Rich finds in diggins at Yok, Bosstin and Oleens and in the Valley of the Sun led to interesting discoveries such as the story of the ferocious giantess who guarded the easter coast, who worshipped a root deity and danced when the spirit came down.

how do we know what we know?,

This review is from: The Weans (Hardcover)
Stop and think about it -- with all the current buzz about knowledge management, the role of the cultural anthropologist has become even more vital to the real world of commerce.Like the other two reviewers, I read this book some years ago as part and parcel of a college course in anthropology. It is a great allegorical reminder that there is no such thing as a historical fact, and that our assumptions about what happens in a culture are just that without being able to talk to the community itself! I WANT this book and consider it a 'must read' for every person who intends to launch an initiative into the wilderness of organizational change and development.

I read this book back in college more than 20 years ago. I would love to be able to purchase it. Anyone know where I could get a copy?

Guesswork or history, what is closer to the truth?,

This review is from: The Weans (Hardcover)
It has been abaout 15 years since I read the book, but at the time I felt it had humor as well as merit. It might make an interesting book for a Junior Great Books discussion.
