About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1983. 1st ed.. Paperback trade, very good condition, light bump top spine, small scuff on spine, bottom corners few pages creased, small mark bottom edge, few light scratches covers, top corner flyleaf not bound into spine (pages firm), minor edgewear. 283 pp. This fascinating book is a study of the very nature of human culture by one of the world's foremost anthropologists. He examines some of our age-old assumptions about the differences between so-called "primitive" societies and the Western world. The book is based on an entire lifetime of research and spans four continents to present a comprehensive examination of such disparate cultures as the Mbuti of Zaire, the Hindus of Banaras, and middle-class Western society.
