Spaces, Worlds, and Grammar
ISBN: 9780226239248 / Angielski / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In America, almost all the money in circulation passes through financial institutions every day. But in Nigeria's "cash and carry" system, 90 percent of the currency never comes back to a bank after it's issued. What happens when two such radically different economies meet and mingle, as they have for centuries in Atlantic Africa?
The answer is a rich diversity of economic practices responsive to both local and global circumstances. In "Marginal Gains," Jane I. Guyer explores and explains these often bewildering practices, including trade with coastal capitalism and across indigenous...

This reference dictionary takes a new approach to the study of physical anthropology by focusing on the concepts involved.

Thus, although none of the concepts are unique to the discipline, their relative importance and the contexts in which they are used may be. Here, Stevenson presents concise entries describing the development of physical anthropological concepts followed by...
