These relations are characterized by a limited and ritualized recourse to practices of sexual promiscuity.The book contains a detailed narration of the events, based on field research, illustrated by 90 original color pictures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francesco Cosentino,Francis Co\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1466492236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781466492233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.17d","brand":"Francesco Cosentino","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800267960575,"sku":"9781466492233","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-three-temples-pilgrimage-francesco-cosentino-9781466492233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
