Synopsis
One of America's leading anthropolgists offers solutions to the perplexing question of why people behave the way they do. Why do Hindus worship cows? Why do Jews and Moslems refuse to eat pork? Why did so many people in post-medieval Europe believe in witches? Marvin Harris answers these and other perplexing questions about human behavior, showing that no matter how bizarre a people's behavior may seem, it always stems from identifiable and intelligble sources.

    Cows, Pigs, Wars & Witches

    I recieved this book in good timing. The book was boring yet interesting at the same time, if that is possible. The cover was pretty attractive
