Mini-set E: Religion, Rites and Ceremonies

    by Routledge

    Examining the key areas of religion and ritual from a theoretical standpoint, the volumes in this set are also supported by a wealth of material from fieldwork in Africa, Australia and Polynesia. Richly illustrated, taken together these volumes show that ritual and ceremonies are in essence universal.
