Theory in Social and Cultural Anthropology. Отсутствует

Аннотация:

Social and cultural anthropology and archaeology are rich subjects with deep connections in the social and physical sciences.&nbsp; Over the past 150 years, the subject matter and different theoretical perspectives have expanded so greatly that no single individual can command all of it. &nbsp;Consequently, both advanced students and professionals may be confronted with theoretical positions and names of theorists with whom they are only partially familiar, if they have heard of them at all.&nbsp; Students, in particular, are likely to turn to the web to find quick background information on theorists and theories.&nbsp; However, most web-based information is inaccurate and/or lacks depth.&nbsp; Students and professionals need a source to provide a quick overview of a particular theory and theorist with just the basics&mdash;the «who, what, where, how, and why,» if you will.&nbsp; In response, SAGE Reference plans to publish the two-volume&nbsp;<em>Theory in Social and Cultural Anthropology: An Encyclopedia</em>.<br /> <br /> <strong>Features &amp; Benefits:</strong><br /> <ul> <li>Two volumes containing approximately 335 signed entries provide users with the most authoritative and thorough reference resource available on anthropology theory, both in terms of breadth and depth of coverage.</li> <li>To ease navigation between and among related entries, a Reader's Guide groups entries thematically and each entry is followed by Cross-References.</li> <li>In the electronic version, the Reader's Guide combines with the Cross-References and a detailed Index to provide robust search-and-browse capabilities.</li> <li>An appendix with a Chronology of Anthropology Theory allows students to easily chart directions and trends in thought and theory from early times to the present.</li> <li>Suggestions for Further Reading at the end of each entry and a Master Bibliography at the end guide readers to sources for more detailed research and discussion.</li> </ul>
