Sociology & anthropology

Paperback. Culture, Raymond Williams once wrote, is one of the most difficult words in language.

Series: Key Concepts. Num Pages: 208 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: GBCY; JFC; JHBC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 11. Weight in Grams: 248.
