"This commercial enterprise, although a financial failure, resulted the first foreign account of Spanish California by a literate and observant French trader, who, while trying to sell his goods, visited most of the missions, presidios, and pueblos of Alta California, and wrote the best contemporary account of the region. He had a splendid opportunity to observe affairs and took advantage of it, being the first outsider to become intimately acquaninted with the the thriving area. The ship Héros also visited Valparaiso, the Galápagos Islands, Hawaii, Macao, and Java" (The Hill Collection of Pacific Voyages).

Guter Zustand. Papier an den Rändern leicht vergilbt. -- Schon zwischen dem primitiven Stammestum und der archaischen Zivilisation in der Antike muß es - so die universale These des amerikanischen Soziologen Eli Sa-gan - eine Zwischenstufe gegeben haben: die <komplexe Gesellschaft>. Diese war bereits zentralistisch und hierarchisch gegliedert, allerdings tyrannisch und ohne eigene Schriftsprache. Am Beispiel dreier <komplexer> Kulturen Afrikas und der Südsee - Buganda, Tahiti, Hawaii im 19. Jahrhundert, die kurz nach ihrer Entdeckung durch weiße Forscher und Missionare aufhörten zu existieren - wird eine solche Transition zwischen einfacher Gesellschaft und modernem Staat anschaulich beschrieben. Dieses <missing link> nicht nur sozialhistorisch zu rekonstruieren, sondern die Evolution der Gesellschaft zu projizieren auf die Stufen der kindlichen Entwicklung aus psychoanalytischer Sicht, ist ein wesentliches Anliegen dieses Buches. -- Warum sich unsere Zivilisation aus derart tyrannischen und destruktiven Herrschaftsformen entwickelte, deren Spuren heute noch sichtbar sind, kann nicht allein mit evolutionären bzw. revolutionären Prozessen erklärt werden. Diese hinreißende Studie der Gesellschaft in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart vermittelt Einsichten, die den Leser zu einer Revision mancher liebgewonnenen Vorstellung vom <edlen Wildem und anderen Menschen zwingt.
