500 |a Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf (1909-1995) was born and educated in Vienna, gaining a PhD in anthropology from the University of Vienna in 1931. A grant from the Rockefeller Foundation enabled him to study at the London School of Economics, under the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. In 1936, he went to the Naga Hills in northeast India for his first fieldwork; over the next four decades, he worked extensively in south & central India, northeast India and Nepal. In 1950 he was appointed Professor of Anthropology at SOAS, where he established the Department of Anthropology. During his career, he published seventeen books, most of them ethnographies of tribal cultures. He was President of the Royal Anthropological Institute (1975-77) and a pioneer in the field of visual anthropology.

520 3 |a This landscape of the Apatani valley shows paddy fields in the foreground : Wet-rice agriculture is the Apatanis’ main food production system : Nearly every metre of level land is devoted to paddy cultivation, mostly the flooded plots, seen here, in the centre of the valley that produce two varieties : another, early ripening variety grown on dry land is more labour intensive and less popular as food : taking advantage of the slightly southward sloping landscape, Apatanis irrigate the fields by building bunds at carefully graded heights : Into these caked mud walls, they insert wood sluices, hollowed out from the heavy trunks of hardwood trees, which are cut and carried down the high slopes of the surrounding mountains : apatanis also use nursery beds for millet as well as rice, small hoes and sickles but no animals, machines or wells : the paddy fields stand in the centre not only of the valley but of local culture, too : Four months are named after rice varieties or stages in their cultivation.
