Eye Opener

I read this book for an anthro class many years ago. It had a major impact on my thinking and has stayed with me all this time. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in human beings and the way we think.

Very good

To be brief, a higly enjoyable, easily digested introduction to primitive religions, and more subtly an excellent introduction to cultural anthropology in general.
