A propos de cet article

Printed in the U.S.A. Date on the title page. First Printing. Acknowledgments, Introduction, History of Culture, Definitions, Statements about Culture, Summaries and Conclusions, Commentaries, References, Index; viii, 223 pages, with lists of publications from the Peabody museum on both covers and on four pages following the text. Card covers show moderate wear; the spine has a bit of loss at head and tail. The interior is creamy-bright throughout, with some dust-spotting on the top-edge. Binding is strong. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] From the Introduction: "[F]ew intellectuals will challenge the statement that the idea of culture, in the technical anthropological sense, is one of the key notions of contemporary American thought. In explanatory importance and in generality of application it is comparable to such categories as gravity in physics, disease in medicine, evolution in biology. . . ." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.
