Antropología Cultural by Marvin Harris
An accessible introduction to the comparative study of human cultures, presenting key concepts, methods, and debates in anthropology with an emphasis on materialist explanations of cultural patterns. Drawing on ethnographic case studies, it examines how ecological and economic forces interact with symbols and beliefs to shape kinship, language, religion, politics, and exchange. Emphasizing the emic/etic distinction and a scientific approach, it shows how systematic analysis can account for cultural diversity and cultural change.
