{"product_id":"9781412999632","title":"Theory in Social and Cultural Anthropology: An Encyclopedia","description":"\u003cp\u003eSocial and cultural anthropology and archaeology are rich subjects with deep connections in the social and physical sciences. Over the past 150 years, the subject matter and different theoretical perspectives have expanded so greatly that no single individual can command all of it. Consequently, both advanced students and professionals may be confronted with theoretical positions and names of theorists with whom they are only partially familiar, if they have heard of them at all. Students, in particular, are likely to turn to the web to find quick background information on theorists and theories. However, most web-based information is inaccurate and\/or lacks depth. Students and professionals need a source to provide a quick overview of a particular theory and theorist with just the basics—the \"who, what, where, how, and why,\" if you will. In response, SAGE Reference plans to publish the two-volume \u003ci\u003eTheory in Social and Cultural Anthropology: An Encyclopedia\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwo volumes containing approximately 335 signed entries provide users with the most authoritative and thorough reference resource available on anthropology theory, both in terms of breadth and depth of coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTo ease navigation between and among related entries, a Reader's Guide groups entries thematically and each entry is followed by Cross-References.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIn the electronic version, the Reader's Guide combines with the Cross-References and a detailed Index to provide robust search-and-browse capabilities.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn appendix with a Chronology of Anthropology Theory allows students to easily chart directions and trends in thought and theory from early times to the present.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuggestions for Further Reading at the end of each entry and a Master Bibliography at the end guide readers to sources for more detailed research and discussion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47025617142000,"sku":"9781412999632","price":315.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781412999632_p0.jpg?v=1763727242","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781412999632","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
