3.0 out of 5 stars Essays and addresses, June 21, 2005
A selection of essays and addresses published that provide a coherent theory for the sociological study of primitive society. Each of the papers presented was written for a particular occasion but have some measure of unity as being written from a particular theoretical point of view.
