Comanche Ethnography: Field Notes of E. Adamson Hoebel, Waldo R. Wedel, Gustav G. Carlson, and Robert H. LowieIn the summer of 1933 in Lawton, Oklahoma, a team of six anthropologists met with eighteen Comanche elders to record the latter's reminiscences of traditional Comanche culture. The depth and breadth of what the elderly Comanches recalled provides an inestimable source of knowledge for generations to come, both within and beyond the Comanche community.

In the summer of 1933 in Lawton, Oklahoma, a team of six anthropologists met with eighteen Comanche elders to record the latter's reminiscences of traditional Comanche culture. The depth and breadth of what the elderly Comanches recalled provides an inestimable source of knowledge for generations to come, both within and beyond the Comanche community. This monumental volume makes available for the first time the largest archive of traditional cultural information on Comanches ever gathered by American anthropologists.Much of the Comanches' earlier world is presented here--religious stories, historical accounts, autobiographical remembrances, cosmology, the practice of war, everyday games, birth rituals, funerals, kinship relations, the organization of camps, material culture, and relations with other tribes.
Thomas W. Kavanagh tracked down all known surviving notes from the Santa Fe Laboratory field party and collated and annotated the records, learning as much as possible about the Comanche elders who spoke with the anthropologists and, when possible, attributing pieces of information to the appropriate elders. In addition, this volume includes Robert H. Lowie's notes from his short 1912 visit to the Comanches. The result stands as a legacy for both Comanches and those interested in learning more about them.

Water for a Thirsty Soul
Format: Kindle
Dr. Ana's books are always such a pleasure to read. They are filled with divine knowledge and revelation and this book is no exception...it is like water for a thirsty soul. It gives a divine perspective to the spiritual reality that we have devalued so much in exchange for the comfort of a world we have built for our own comfort.
This book offers a lot to process and it has left me wanting more...particularly in the area of connecting and living from our celestial body.

Looks good works great
Item Package Quantity: 1, Color: Black
This paper towel holder is simple, sturdy, and works exactly as it should. It holds the roll securely and makes it easy to tear off sheets with one hand. The design is clean and attractive, so it looks great on the countertop without taking up too much space. No assemble required and a great value overall.

Functional and beautiful!
Item Package Quantity: 1, Color: Silver
This towel holder is a fantastic find! It is always great when a product exceeds your expectations and this towel holder is exactly that. At first, I was not sure if the price was worth it but when I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product. It is solid and well made with a heavy base that makes pulling paper towels with one hand a breeze. The mandrel is thick and provides excellent rotational ability. Overall A+. I highly recommend spending a few extra bucks on a functional piece that enhances the overall appearance of a kitchen.
