Northern Plainsmen: Adaptive Strategy and Agrarian Life
by: John W. Bennett

Softcover. Arlington Heights, IL, AHM Publishing, 4th pr., 1969, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 352 pages, b&w illustrations. This is a study in cultural ecology involving the adaptive processes and relations of four groups: Plains Cree, cattle ranchers, wheat farmers, and Hutterites of southwestern Saskatchewan over a sixty year period.... Bennett has aptly demonstrated the falsity of the belief that anthropologists can learn nothing from a study of their own culture. The book merits reading by all those who are interested in ecology, economic anthropology, and culture change and is a significant addition to the relatively meager amount of anthropological information on Western culture.
