This is a seminal work on the Moken nomads and lower Burma written by a businessman studying the area for its economic potential. The author's ability to describe and penetrate into the very heart of the social and economic life of the Mergui Archipelago's inhabitants makes this work both entertaining and informative. Ainsworth describes the land, sea bed, and forests of the many of the Moken islands, and trade relations established on the basis of local products, but his ethnological observations on disappearing funeral rituals and the love relationships between members of the different populations with whom he temporarily lived are particularly valuable today. His descriptions of Victoria Point, the lovely city of Mergui, and other picturesque villages can be appreciated by the most demanding travelers. Much of it is still there, but as is the case with the political life of the region, it is in great need of conscientious maintenance and adaptation work. Paperback, Ausgabe: 2nd (Re-print of the 1930 original), Label: White Lotus Co Ltd, White Lotus Co Ltd, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2000-03, Studio: White Lotus Co Ltd, Verkaufsrang: 3277978.
