I just got a brochure from Henry Holt Reference Books in which they are
announcing the publication of the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY. It is
4 volumes and is sponsored by Human Relations Area Files with David Levinson
and Melvin Ember as the editors.
The brochure gives the following key features: (these are direct quotes)
* Contains 340 articles - in-depth essays of 2 to 10 pages - written by 310 of
the world's most respected authorities - nearly 2,000 pages of material in
four volumes.
* Each article includes a wide-ranging and up-to-date bibliography, and
thorough cross referencing.
* Provides frameworks and major organizing concepts, and introduces the major
research methods.
* Covers all the major regions of the world as well as the other fields of
anthropology: linguistics, biological anthropology, and archaeology.
* Provides a full list of anthropological periodicals and an in-depth index in
the final volume. The index covers all the sub-fields, prominent people,
organizations, concepts, and topics that are relevant to cultural
anthropology.
The pre-publication price (if ordered before April 30, 1996) is $345.00. The
regular price is $395.00. The book will be out in April of 1996.
