But along the way to proving his point, the author engages an array of thinkers, from Aristotle to Emile Durkheim to Marilyn Strathern, as well as an array of ethnographic examples from around the globe. Num Pages: 120 pages. BIC Classification: JHBK; JHMC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 143 x 217 x 8. Weight in Grams: 156.
