From the Introduction: "This book is not an anthropological treatise; it is the story of my journey among the desert aborigines of Central Australia and of the experiences that I shared with them.  From the standpoint of the scientist, the story of their life is by no means completed by this book; much more research has to be carried out before the gaps can be filled."
