Synopsis
"Other Cultures" provides a lucid introduction to the relatively new field of social anthropology. The author devotes the first part of the book to a consideration of what social anthropology is and seeks to do, what areas it covers, and the methods of investigation employed by social anthropologists. The second part discusses the major categories of research through which social anthropologies have advanced our knowledge of other cultures. These include marriage, kinship, political organization, law, economic and property relations, magic, religion, and social change. The final chapter surveys some of the contributions social anthropology has made to the understanding of other cultures. A short reading list follows each chapter. "Other Cultures" will be valuable as a text or as supplementary reading for introductory courses in Anthropology, especially Social and Cultural Anthropology., A valuable text in the examination of cultural influence and evolution, John Beattie presents the aims, methods, and achievements of social anthropology.

    Very fast shipping— fragile item wrapped and packaged to protect the contents, all thoughtful and well done. The item was high quality and I could not be more pleased. More lovely than the photos showed it to be. Excellent value. Excellent seller.

    Incredibly fast shipping. Showed up much sooner than I had expected. Packaging was very secure, and product was as described, and more. Upon initial power up, there was output equal to the original specs, but may need some tune up and frequency alignment. This is expected for a piece of equipment of this age. Value is unequaled! I would recommend this seller to ayone!

    Unfortunately ttem arrived broken. Seller simply handled the issue without drama. Pure, simple, customer service. I emailed only twice. Once to raise the issue and then to provide photos. And with that the seller made it right.
