Bronislaw Malinowski (1884-1942) was a Polish-British anthropologist who is often regarded as one of the founders of social anthropology. He is best known for his fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands, off the coast of Papua New Guinea, where he conducted extensive ethnographic research on the social and economic organization of the islanders. Malinowski is also famous for developing the method of participant observation, which became a cornerstone of modern anthropological research. He wrote several influential books, including "Argonauts of the Western Pacific" and "Coral Gardens and Their Magic."
