ISBN: 9780415119993 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Risk and danger are culturally conditioned ideas. They are shaped by pressures of social life and accepted notions of accountability. The risk analyses that are increasingly being utilised by politicians, aid programmes and business ignore the insights to be gained from social anthropology which can be applied to modern industrial society.
In this collection of recent essays, Mary Douglas develops a programme for studying risk and blame that follows from ideas originally proposed in Purity and Danger.

Natural Symbols: Explorations in Cosmology
ISBN: 9780415314541 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of the most important works of modern anthropology. Written against the backdrop of the student uprisings of the late 1960s, the book took seriously the revolutionary fervour of the times, but instead of seeking to destroy the rituals and symbols that can govern and oppress, Mary Douglas saw instead that if transformation were needed, it could only be made possible through better understanding. Expressed with clarity and dynamism, the passionate analysis which follows remains one of the most insightful and rewarding studies of human behaviour ever written.

ISBN: 9780415606752 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mary Douglas intended this text as a review of the existing literature on the state of risk theory.

Every natural symbol - derived from blood, breath or excrement - carries a social meaning and this work focuses on the ways in which any one culture makes its selections from body symbolism.
