    <body><![CDATA[A classic. I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to glean from it other than &quot;It's a classic. It's old. It was the first real medical ethnography.&quot; But Rivers does a great job of explaining why those nutty Melanesians think that they're sick because of some meanies' witchcraft -- they don't know any better, because of human evolution. Yeah, I'm oversimplifying, and Rivers' logic, research, exposition, and, amazingly, relativism, are all quite persuasive. And I'm not complaining about its length: 146 pages!]]></body>
