{"product_id":"the-rise-of-anthropological-theory-marvin-harris-9780759101333","title":"The Rise of Anthropological Theory: A History of Theories of Culture","description":"The best known, most often cited history of anthropological theory is finally available in paperback  First published in 1968, Harris's book has been cited in over 1,000 works and is one of the key documents explaining cultural materialism, the theory associated with Harris's work. This updated edition included the complete 1968 text plus a new introduction by Maxine Margolis, which discusses the impact of the book and highlights some of the major trends in anthropological theory since its original publication. RAT, as it is affectionately known to three decades of graduate students, comprehensively traces the history of anthropology and anthropological theory, culminating in a strong argument for the use of a scientific, behaviorally-based, etic approach to the understanding of human culture known as cultural materialism. Despite its popularity and influence on anthropological thinking, RAT has never been available in paperback_until now. It is an essential volume for the library of all anthropologists, their graduate students, and other theorists in the social sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marvin Harris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0759101337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780759101333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Altamira Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.91h x 6.22w x 2.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2001 pg. 62","brand":"Marvin Harris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925910454527,"sku":"9780759101333","price":111.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_378379c7-074f-484f-9de1-c458ee338c6c.jpg?v=1681080078","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rise-of-anthropological-theory-marvin-harris-9780759101333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
