Price-clipped DJ spine slightly faded, bottom corners of flaps trimmed, slight wear to extremities; in Brodart archival cover. From the introduction: "The Paluwalla Tree of Life of the Cuna Indians of San Blas, Panama, is so holy that it is considered sacrilegious to talk about it to outsiders; hence, complete information is difficult to obtain. In fact, it is only by chance that the scientific world even knows that the Cunas carry out a most secret ceremony in the jungle before the Tree of Life.... I had tried for ten years to get Cuna medicine priests to talk to me about this most sacred ceremony but in vain. It was a taboo topic of conversation. Finally, I had to publish Secrets of the Cuna Earthmother without the information." This book fills in the missing information from interviews and other communications with various of the author's Cuna acquaintances. Related postcard laid in. Shipping weight 1 lb.. First Edition. . Near Fine/Near Fine. 21 X 14 cm.

Twin City Antiquarian Books
Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
