DESCRIPTION:

It is a demonstration of what a comparative anthropology can do for an enhanced understanding of the serious problems that best the world. --Eric R. The outcome is a quite remarkable presentation. An example of multiculturalism at its best
In this text, the editors aim to make it impossible for researchers and theorists to treat preindustrial warfare without addressing the larger contexts within which all societies are embedded.
Remember the classics! A Customer This work should be read as an update on Morton Fried's "The Notion of the Tribe." The authors do not give Fried enough credit but well read anthropologists will recognize that the key points stem from Fried. Read with caution as the two editors have never done long-term fieldwork among indigenous peoples.. U.S. Army Soldier Ferguson has a great analytical mind, and a concise writing style. To dispel a myth, Ferguson does anthropological field research regularly.
