This is a collection of studies of Papua New Guinea cultures, each isolating one key concept that is believed to define the whole of that culture. Such concepts include: (1) the "big man" in the "father-of-the-village" role; (2) the pig, which highlights important values in Melanesian culture; (3) shell money, used among people of New Britain; and (4) mami `yam'.
