God Inside Out: Siva's Game of Dice
ISBN: 9780195108446 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Models and Mirrors: Towards an Anthropology of Public Events
ISBN: 9781571811653 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Comparing public events - a domain which includes ritual and related occasions - the...
