Synopsis
Tambiah discusses the life of Edmund Leach (1910-1989), one of Britain's foremost social and cultural anthropologists. Leach's work includes kinship and social organization; tenure and peasant economy; and biblical narratives and the myths of Classical Greece. Tambiah's biography covers Leach's work, closing with a personal portrait., Edmund Leach is widely regarded as the outstanding figure in Cambridge archaeology in the second half of the twentieth century, and as one of the leading social anthropologists of his generation. Stanley Tambiah's intellectual biography covers his professional career and reviews his writings. The work is organized chronologically--providing an introductory assessment as well as a closing portrait. Two brief chapters discuss Leach's early years, but the bulk of the book deals with his anthropological projects., Stanley J. Tambiah discusses the life of Edmund Leach (1910-1989), one of Britain's foremost social and cultural anthropologists, and a man of extraordinary versatility, originality and intellectual breadth. His substantial contributions to anthropology deal with topics including kinship and social organization, hill tribes and valley peoples, tenure and peasant economy, aesthetics, British structural-functional methodology, the structuralism of Levi-Strauss, biblical narratives and the myths of Classical Greece. Leach was not wedded to any settled orthodoxy: what makes his work exciting is his experimentation with new ideas, and his expansions of the horizons of the discipline. His distinctive view of the comparative method allows him to transcend the stale dichotomy between 'them primitives' and 'us moderns', finding instead a dialectic between 'us' and 'them' which opens up the possibility for illuminating common human propensities and capacities.

The condition of the volume received was as described (accurate listings, as is typical with Second Time Books) 🙂 The book was reasonably priced. Packaging was sufficient (bubble wrapped book within an appropriate sized box). Quality ✅ The shipping and delivery was timely. The one price is always nice. Thanks for providing consistent inventory and excellent service!

- t***t (412)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI recently twice purchased three Folio Society books from this seller. All packaged in bubble wrap and shipped appropriately. I'm impressed there are still people who do what's needed to take care of collectable books. Given the increasing brutal state of the USPS (and seeing that putting it on a private profit model will not improve the situation), I can't express enough how important a responsible real bookseller is to collectors who love and treasure their books.
