Renowned Finnish scientist Edward Westermarck became world-famous at the dawn of the 20th century for his foundational works, The History of Human Marriage and Ethical Relativity. His research for his books led him into strange corners of the world, and on stranger adventures. Here he shares those adventures with characteristic verve and charm. His experiences in less developed civilizations are gripping, while his encounters with cultural leaders of his time, including William James, Max Muller, and Peter Kropotkin provide keen insight into the era's most interesting minds.
