The Hidden Frontier
This award-winning classic in the study of ethnicity, identity, and nation-building has a new introduction (on which Eric Wolf collaborated near the end of his life) that shows the continuing validity of the book’s innovative approach to ethnography, ecology, culture, and politics. The authors investigated two Alpine villages—the German-speaking community of St. Felix and Romance-speaking Tret—only a mile apart in the same mountain valley.
The Moores
Three centuries of a family history that incite, more than to bask in the display of an absent aristocratic ancestry, to explore the details of a trajectory that begins in the British colonial world of north America, to anchor in the late 19th century in the wild frontier of the northeast of Santa Fe, Argentina. A panorama where the lights and shadows of lives that have left a deep mark are integrated.

Pathways of Power
This collection of twenty-eight essays by renowned anthropologist Eric R. Wolf is a legacy of some of his most original work, with an insightful foreword by Aram Yengoyan. Of the essays, six have never been published and two have not appeared in English until now. Shortly before his death, Wolf prepared introductions to each section and individual pieces, as well as an intellectual autobiography that introduces the collection as a whole. Sydel Silverman, who completed the editing of the book, says in her preface, "He wanted this selection of his writings over the past half-century to serve as part of the history of how anthropology brought the study of complex societies and world systems into its purview."

Mord am Lago Maggiore
Der traumhafte Lago Maggiore als Kulisse für ein perfides Verbrechen: Eigentlich dürfte an einem idyllischen Ort wie Ascona gar kein Mord geschehen, und doch liegt Herbert Kummer vergiftet in seiner luxuriösen Villa. Tabea, die Schwiegertochter des Opfers, will nicht untätig bleiben und stürzt sich in heimliche Ermittlungen. Dabei deckt sie ein Geheimnis nach dem anderen über ihren Schwiegervater auf – und weckt nicht nur den Unmut der ermittelnden Kommissarin, sondern auch den des Mörders.
