Rezensionen
From the reviews: "This particular collection is well worthy to stand by its predecessors. We welcome the publication of this book and would draw it to the attention of major reference libraries and libraries catering for serious academic work in anthropology, as a handy collection of information, mined for us out of a huge resource bank." (Martin Guha, Institute of Psychiatry, SciTech Books)
