| Meer info | Report on the Work of the Horn Scientific Expedition to Central Australia is a detailed account of an important early 20th-century scientific expedition to the Australian outback, led by William Austin Horn and Baldwin Spencer in 1894. The report covers a wide range of topics, including the geography, geology, flora, and fauna of the region, as well as the social and cultural practices of the indigenous peoples: travelling 3000 km of largely uncharted country from Oodnadatta through the Finke River basin to Alice Springs and the Macdonnell Ranges in the Northern Territory. It is a fascinating snapshot of a remote and little-known part of the world, an important document of the early days of scientific exploration in Australia, and a landmark in anthropological history because it resulted in Baldwin Spencer meeting Frank Gillen' (Mulvaney). Volume I: Introduction, Narrative, Summary of Results, Supplement to Zoological Report, Map; Volume II: Zoology; Volume III: Geology and Botany; Volume IV: Anthropology. With numerous illustrations, many plates (several folding), and a page-sized map Details: Originally published 1896 by Ford and Son, Carlton, Melbourne, and edited by Baldwin Spencer, this set is a full and complete hardback reproduction of the original 4 volumes, incl. maps/illustrations, and printed in black and white and one-sided only.
