{"product_id":"techniques-technology-and-civilization-nathan-schlanger-9781571816627","title":"Techniques, Technology and Civilization","description":"\u003cp\u003e Marcel Mauss's writings on techniques and technology are at the forefront of an important anthropological and sociological research tradition, and they also highlight the theoretical and ideological challenges surrounding this field of study. A selection of Mauss's texts - including his major statements on methodology, on body techniques, on practical reason, on nation and civilisation, on progress, and so forth - are here translated and presented together for the first time, with a discussion of their context, impact and implications. This book will interest scholars and students dealing with the French sociological tradition, and also more generally those concerned with technology and material culture studies in archaeological, anthropological or contemporary settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathan Schlanger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571816623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571816627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\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 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 106","brand":"Nathan Schlanger","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48136814362879,"sku":"9781571816627","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e349f3a-c961-49a6-b80a-f13a45c06621.jpg?v=1770164700","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/techniques-technology-and-civilization-nathan-schlanger-9781571816627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
