The book aims to connect the view of anthropologists and photographers while using photographic methods in biological anthropology. Therefore, a photographer and an anthropologist met for this purpose as they are experienced in these fields and their work often extends into many other disciplines especially photographic documentation and popularization of science and working with digital images in the education. The intention of the authors of this uniquely focused text was to facilitate and simplify communication between the area of professional photography and the area of its practical usage in biological anthropology and archeology. The purpose of this publication is to allow photographers to understand the needs of anthropologists when adjusting photographic methods for specific documentation tasks, and at the same time to allow anthropologists to learn the basics of photographic techniques and extend the application possibilities in their work. This publication was created for biological anthropologist and those interested in this field as well as for photographers who want to cooperate with specialists in various scientific disciplines. The authors hope that in addition to professionals, students and non-professional people interested in the field of biological anthropology, this book will find its readership also in related fields such as archeology, medicine or scientific photography in general.

The author of the monograph attempts at analysing Bronisław Malinowski's Diary from the The author of the monograph attempts at analysing Bronisław Malinowski's Diary from the The author of the monograph attempts at analysing Bronisław Malinowski's Diary from the standpoint of conducting field research. This document, wherein Malinowski expands upon his experiences, does not only give an account of what he went through in Trobriand Islands, but also becomes a journey into his inner life, highly complicated and full of contradictions. When utilising the category of field, the author departures from its strictly geographical meaning that refers to some location, a place. The field in the present monograph acquires a broader sense, which encompasses the entirety of tension occurring between a researcher and reality involving geographical, social, cultural, and psychological components. It means, therefore, that we deal with a process, comprehensively depicted by Malinowski's Diary, allowing us to look at a research endeavour from multifaceted perspective, providing us with a picture of him as both a researcher and a human being. Scholarly / scientific works are devoid of descriptions of researchers' mood, particular emotional states, or intensely personal thoughts or ruminations. They are well-honed intellectual products designed to prompt awe, admiration or, conversely, to provoke criticism. Diary, which at times astounds readers by its straightforwardly delivered powerful message, shows the ins and outs of the path to research data collation. Often it becomes a mirror for readers to reflect upon themselves in order to see our weaknesses, failures, but also successes and moments of elation. The monograph is written for a wide spectrum of audiences - not only social sciences' and humanities' students, but also non-academic readers aiming at quenching their thirst for knowledge.
