Studying Culture Bewertungen

This is an invaluable introduction for students across the humanities and social sciences. A synthesis of carefully weighted comment, readings, images, and activities involves the reader in the pleasures, perils, and multiple meanings of that most complex word, 'culture'. Mary Eagleton, Leeds Metropolitan University
