Excerpt from Source Book in AnthropologyThe volume was undertaken and was published in several smaller editions as an auxiliary to an ordinary working library in anthropology. In that stage it embodied chiefly articles which are out of print or accessible in journals of which a library, even a great library, often possesses only a single file. In its present form the volume is intended as the basis for study in courses of instruction in general anthropology. Any library will provide collateral and special reading.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
