Those based in the highly developed countries can extend global influence through wealth and sophisticated technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Pursuit of Certainty\u003c\/em\u003e presents original case studies which explore the effect anthropology's inherited tradition of tolerance and cross-cultural understanding has on the new pursuits of truth.
