What I Can Learn from Nikolai Miklukho-Maklay (Chemu Ya Mogu Nauchitsya u Miklukho-Maklaya)

Nikolai Nikolaevich Miklouho-Maclay was a prominent Russian naturalist and explorer, one of the founders of modern ethnography. In distant lands, he was interested not only in the unknown nature but, above all, in meeting other peoples and studying their way of life. His respectful and kind attitude toward people became an example for future researchers around the world. This short illustrated biography tells the story of Nikolai Miklouho-Maclay. It explores why he was expelled from university and how he was able to continue his education, who helped him prepare for a long and expensive expedition to New Guinea, and why the Papuans not only accepted the stranger but still respect his memory. It also explains why it's important not to judge anyone solely by appearance or whether they resemble you. For children ages 6 and up.
