Böcker av Robert H. Lowie

The book "" Culture & Ethnology "" has been considered important throughout the human history, and so that this work is never forgotten we have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this book in a modern format for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies and hence the text is clear and readable.

Dr. Lowrie first describes the beliefs, codes, and practices of a variety of primitive religions. He then gives a critical survey of their beliefs including their psychological and historical aspects. He presents a wealth of strange and fascinating information--details like the self-mutilation of devotees, extraordinary human sacrifices perpetrated out of fear of sorcery, and naive superstitions.Here is a scientific masterpiece for both layman and student, complete and unabridged--sanctioned by frequent quotation in anthropological handbooks and anthologies.
