The Secret Museum of Mankind
This was a book released in the 50's (?) and was sold in the back of comic books (think x-ray specs etc.) as "female beauty around the world". See also: "Weirdest people on earth", "the strangest customs", "magic and mystery in queer lands where the foot of white man has rarely tread".
Racism aside, this is an amazing collection of ethnic/world/tribal/indigenous photography which covers America, Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania. Some of the buildings, technology, costumes and instruments are just wild. I got a copy in the mail the other day, if anyone's interested, they're grippable on ebay for around $15.
Keeping in the theme, this is an incredible ethnic/world/traditional/field music mix.
Done by Rob Sevier from the Numero Group. Some heavy titles in there. It would be good for the next Deep Massage Therapy. He's got another mix on that Bird & Whale site, probably not as good, but does include the deep Bahrain Pearl Divers record (which is in the mail).

I've got a few other ethnic/field/traditional albums if anyone wants me to put them up.
