Book excerpt: THE BOOK: They were the bombardiers, hunkered down behind their screens at Alantic Pacific, dealing bonds they hated to people they hated in jobs that took all their lives. Sid Geeder was King of Mortgages and Eggs Igino his lietenant. The air they breathed was rotten with the stench of high tech, information economy, pure capitalism and with the frenzy of grunts driven wild by impossible targets, unmeetable deadlines and overwhelming work loads, they wanted only out.

This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Putting China into the context of general anthropology offers novel insights into its history, culture and society. Studies in the anthropology of China need to look outwards, to other anthropological areas, while at the same time, anthropologists specialised elsewhere cannot afford to ignore contributions from China. This book introduces a number of key themes and in each case describes how the anthropology and ethnography of China relates to the surrounding theories and issues. The themes chosen include the anthropology of intimacy, of morality, of food and of feasting, as well as the anthropology of civilisation, modernity and the state.The Anthropology of China covers both long historical perspectives and ethnographies of the twenty-first century. For the first time, ethnographic perspectives on China are contextualised in comparison with general anthropological debates. Readers are invited to engage in and rethink China's place within the wider world, making it perfect for professional researchers and teachers of anthropology and Chinese history and society, and for advanced undergraduate and graduate study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has arisen from the belief that cultural understanding can be advanced by contrasting the work of scholars who share academic concerns but work from different cultural vantage-points. In the editors' estimation, knowledge in the caregiving field has reached the point where such comparisons can yield insight into differences not only between cultures but also between the perspectives of the scholars who study them. The chapters in this book provide a rich information base for these purposes.
