"Roy Ellen manages to assemble a series of articles, most of the written by internationally renowned scholars, which comprise an astonishing variety of themes and theories." (Anthropos, 2009)
"The book's eight chapters succeed admirably in meeting its goal. It provides an eclectic, but reasonably comprehensive overview ... through many thought-provoking examples." (Journal of Anthropological Research)
