The Savage Mind

The Savage Mind Claude Levi-Strauss; John Weightman; Doreen Weightman Additional Author mixed material bibliography University of Chicago Press 1968 310 'Every word, like a sacred object, has its place. No pr�cis is possible. This extraordinary book must be read.'�Edmund Carpenter, New York Times Book Review 'No outline is possible; I can only say that reading this book is a most exciting intellectual exercise in which dialectic, wit, and imagination combine to stimulate and provoke at every page.'�Edmund Leach, Man 'L�vi-Strauss's books are tough: very scholarly, very dense, very rapid in argument. But once you have mastered him, human history can never be the same, nor indeed can one's view of contemporary society. And his latest book, The Savage Mind, is his most comprehensive and certainly his most profound. Everyone interested in the history of ideas must read it; everyone interested in human institutions should read it.'�J. H. Plumb, Saturday Review 'A constantly stimulating, informative and suggestive intellectual challenge.'�Geoffrey Gorer, The Observer, London Anthropology 226474844 C2O library Online catalog (BETA) 301 LEV Sav 3313 C2O library & collabtive (History & Geography) 12000 SavageMindClaudeLeviStra28051_f.jpg 3221 2015-01-02 09:50:52 2015-01-02 09:50:52 machine generated
