Anthropology\n\nTheoretical Practice in Culture and Society\n\nMichael Herzfeld (Author)\n\n9780631206590, Wiley\n\nPaperback / softback, published 8 December 2000\n\n388 pages\n24.6 x 17.3 x 2.6 cm, 0.789 kg\n\n\""A wonderful book.... Anthropology breaks ground in every generation. This sparkling survey does not tell you where anthropology has come from, it is a book about where anthropology has got to now, and where it is going. A splendid publishing event.\""\n --Mary Douglas, University College London\n\""An intriguing and unusual book! This is at once a collective and an individual work. Herzfeld is a fencing master supreme; in drawing the works of colleagues close to himself, he also parries and diverts them. This is a sharp-witted and agile book that keeps the conversations going until the end. There should be more 'textbooks' like this.\""\n --Marilyn Strathern, University of Cambridge\n\""A good summary of the state of social and cultural anthropology has not been written in more]
