Résumé

This is a rich source of anthropological approaches to significant social and cultural issues across the globe. The subject matter is topical, the contributors are scholars of renown and the analyses are informed by detailed empirical inquiry. The collection is a valuable resource for scholars, teachers, students and general readers. David Trigger, University of Queensland, Australia. The editors and authors are to be congratulated for this compelling companion to research in what it means to be human.
Twenty anthropologists provide rich synopses of anthropology's intellectual heritage in their critical appraisals of key concepts long central to the discipline - belief systems, ritual, magic, sacrifice, myth, gender, war, violence, globalisation, language change and loss, indigenous knowledge and so on. More than the sum of its parts, this volume situates anthropological research as absolutely essential to understanding humanity's past, present and possible futures.
Naomi M. McPherson, University of British Columbia, Canada.
