Culture, once a center-stage concept in anthropology, is now being
discussed by talk show personalities and journalists and included
in a wide range of academic disciplines. In view of the myriad uses
and abuses of the concept, The Relevance of Culture sets the record
straight through a careful survey of the development of the concept
of culture, and the arguments and continuing relevance of it to
theoretical discussions. The authors illustrate its roles in such
diverse areas as risk and technology, nursing and health care,
evolution, criminology, information, economy, geography, and even
the understanding of suicide. Noted scholars apply their wit and
wisdom to illustrate and analyze the role of culture, creating a
definitive picture for both scholars and beginning students of
cultural anthropology and related social sciences.
