Book tip of the day

Peter Stark: At the mercy of the river ISBN:0-345-44181-8

A true exploration of the last african wilderness. A breathtaking journey down the Lugenda River in the Niassa province of Mozambique. The 750-kilometeres rivercourse is largely uncharted-dotted with rapids, waterfalls and home to deadly crocodiles and hippos. Another challenge was the fact that two of his four travel companions were not skilled kayakers.

Web browsing on your mobile phone

I am really waiting for Firefox to make a web browsing solution for the Symbian OS on mobile phones, with their Minimo project they seem to only aim the Windows Mobile market. Why? Her is a list of compatible devices so far. You already have Miniopera for mobile phones, but it gives you far from a pleasant browsing experience, but that’s probably because his big brother is not much better.

Anthropology Matters

“Welcome to Anthropology Matters, an initiative developed by postgraduates for postgraduates, researchers and early career anthropologists. This site aims to stimulate discussion on the production of anthropological knowledge through a focus on training, teaching, research and writing. Anthropology Matters currently features a thriving peer-reviewed academic journal, a directory of anthropologists and their interests, access to teaching, learning and other resources and a well used e-mail list where we share word of conferences, seminars and news of other events.

We believe that the building up of a community of postgraduates, researchers and early career anthropologists is a vital part of the rejuvenation of anthropology as a discipline. We also believe that this must be beyond the confines of any individual department, if the tremendous postgraduate enthusiasm we know exists is to be harnessed to its fullest potential. Positioned on the margins of the mainstream academic community we pose the kinds of questions that encourage postgraduates to be intellectually adventurous, and to provide support for the transition from student to academic or applied anthropologist.

Our values are of openess and inclusiveness, reflected in a growing steering committee with representatives from six anthropology departments in the UK. We welcome all comments and contributions on any aspect of our site and agenda, and hope that you will join us in realising our collective vision!” [text taken from their site].

Here is a link to their journal “Anthropology Matters” with some great fulltext articles with ideas for other anthropologists.
