Designed to provoke controversy, the papers in this volume concentrate on two main themes: the study of myth and totemism.

First published in 1967.

Upland Archaeology of West Rock Ridge in South-Central Connecticut
ISBN: 9783639234909 / Angielski / Miękka / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The archaeology of a rugged upland environment in South-Central Connecticut, West Rock Ridge, contributed important information concerning the land-use patterns utilized by the Late Archaic Small Stemmed Point Tradition. Increasing population density led to territorial packing of highly mobile subsistence groups, and this in turn led to intensification in the degree to which these peoples exploited their available resource patches. The strategy by which Small Stemmed Point Tradition peoples utilized their landscapes can be contrasted with other contemporaneous cultural manifestations such as...

Honour Killing
ISBN: 9783639274448 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the last decade, public outrage over honour killings has grown exponentially. Like suicide- terrorism or Female Genital Mutilation, honour killing belongs to those peculiar kinds of atrocities, which are usually met with complete incomprehension in societies where no such incidents occur or are not perceived as being part of the dominant "culture." A random survey of the Internet makes it apparent that reports in Western media are marked by graphic descriptions of brutal cases of honour killings and references to "barbarism" and "archaic traditions." These reactions are unfortunate, as...

Cross-cultural training (CCT) is a form of people skills training aimed at facilitating the development of intercultural communicative competence and cultural sensitivity. Since the 1960s, cross-cultural training has developed into the product of a small, multinational, commercial industry.
