The View from Afar(English, Paperback, Levi-Strauss Claude) is written by Levi-Strauss Claude and published by The University of Chicago Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0226474747 (ISBN 10) and 9780226474748 (ISBN 13).
This collection touches on a wide range of anthropological issues, including family and marriage, myths, and rites, the environment and its representation, and constraint and freedom. The essays encompass more than forty years of analysis and constrain arguments that are as relevant today as they were thirty years ago. Hardly a field remains untouched--sociobiology, linguistics, botany, genetics, psychiatry, esthetics, ecology, politics, neuroscience, education, morality, psychology. . . . It's all breathtaking and alarming, some of it wonderful, some of it ridiculous. . . . At times the experience is exhilarating.--Richard A. Shweder, New York Times Book Review
