{"product_id":"cosmos-gods-and-madmen-roland-littlewood-9781785331770","title":"Cosmos, Gods and Madmen: Frameworks in the Anthropologies of Medicine","description":"\u003cp\u003e The social anthropology of sickness and health has always been concerned with religious cosmologies: how societies make sense of such issues as prediction and control of misfortune and fate; the malevolence of others; the benevolence (or otherwise) of the mystical world; local understanding and explanations of the natural and ultra-human worlds. This volume presents differing categorizations and conflicts that occur as people seek to make sense of suffering and their experiences. Cosmologies, whether incorporating the divine or as purely secular, lead us to interpret human action and the human constitution, its ills and its healing and, in particular, ways which determine and limit our very possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roland Littlewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785331779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785331770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Roland Littlewood","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48136894513407,"sku":"9781785331770","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9493b85a-270c-47de-a3da-87d547d95493.jpg?v=1770165165","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cosmos-gods-and-madmen-roland-littlewood-9781785331770","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
