how do we know what we know?
Stop and think about it -- with all the current buzz about knowledge management, the role of the cultural anthropologist has become even more vital to the real world of commerce.

Like the other two reviewers, I readthis book some years ago as part and parcel of a college course inanthropology.It is a great allegorical reminder that there is no suchthing as a historical fact, and that our assumptions about what happens ina culture are just that without being able to talk to the communityitself!

I WANT this book and consider it a 'must read' for every personwho intends to launch an initiative into the wilderness of organizationalchange and development.

The Weans
I read this book back in college more than 20 years ago. I would love to be able to purchase it. Anyone know where I could get a copy?

Guesswork or history, what is closer to the truth?
It has been abaout 15 years since I read the book, but at the time I felt it had humor as well as merit.It might make an interesting book for a Junior Great Books discussion. ... Read more

Product Description
This collection presents a selection of objects that have been stolen from public collections or looted from archaeological sites. Excerpts from the laws of the countries concerned are also given to remind readers of the illicit nature of any export of these objects. The publications also serve to make known the institutions which alongside ICOM take action and put in place instruments to prevent and fight against illicit traffic in cultural property. The rich illustrations of the book are not only a means of control but also help to raise awareness and inform the public.

Product Description
This study examines the functional adaptation of traditional societies to changing economic, social and spatial transformations in the Volta Basin of Ghana, in particular the changes caused by the construction of the Akosombo Dam in the early 1960s and its effect on two Volta Basin communities displaced by the flood waters. It introduces the history of some of the core West African ethnic groups who laid the foundation for the development of cultural traditions in the area. A special feature of the book is that it identifies natural and cultural environments on an equal basis. It also identifies individual and group response to the transformations that created new and challenging conditions. Methodologically, the book employs an objective application of the principles of ethnoarchaeology to identify progressive societal adaptive strategies, which include settlement patterns, building technology, oral traditions, religion and ritual, marriage and death customs. The book is the result of over 20 years of research in the Volta Basin, living among and sharing knowledge with the people. ... Read more

From the author: Utilisant l'Enquete aupres des jeunes en transition (EJET), sondage longitudinal nationalement representatif, l'auteur examine l'argument voulant que les resultats educationnels inferieurs de diverses minorites visibles et d'immigrants seraient attribues a leurs desavantages socioeconomiques, tandis que les resultats superieurs des autres minorites visibles auraient pour cause leur soutien culturel. Les analyses rapportent des inegalites non negligeables dans le parcours pedagogique des Premieres nations, des minorites visibles et des immigrants. Cependant, ni leur emplacement structurel ni leurs attributs culturels (ni les deux ensemble) n'expliquent entierement les differences de leur parcours pedagogique ni ne peuvent etre reduits a un simple modele dans lequel les desavantages structurels determineraient les resultats inferieurs et les facteurs culturels les superieurs.

Product Description
The ca seventh-century Christian hymn edited in this volume is one of the most extensive and important Greek liturgical documents to emerge from Egypt in recent years. The leather parchment, measuring 23.3 x 38.5 cm, preserves a three-hymn cycle, interlaced with the Trisagion refrain, "holy is God, holy and mighty, holy and immortal, have mercy on us." The first cycle consists of an acrostic recounting of the birth, baptism, passion and ascension of Jesus. The second and third concern Isaiah's vision of the seraphim and Old Testament typologies of the person and work of Christ. As a whole the text focuses on the incarnation and baptismal motifs (with theologically interesting turns of phraseology, e.g., that Jesus was "begotten through the word of God" and "baptized for our sakes") and dramatically sets forth the polarities of Christ as pantocrator and sufferer. These themes receive detailed treatment in the commentary, as do other important issues, such as phonological and syntactic features of the Greek, the origin and use of the Trisagion in Eastern and Oriental Orthodox communions, the ascription of the hymn to Christ as opposed to the Trinity, and the Monophysite addition, "who was crucified for us."
