This review is from: Human Beliefs and Values (Paperback)

Three special inclusions make this book valuable to those interested in cross-cultural comparisons of life and belief: theoretical background of who has studied what in the past, charts and graphs to explain how peoples compare with each other, a CD of data to study and use yourself for other research ideas. A great combination of resources.
