The publication of Murdock's "Ethnographic Atlas" in 1967 marked
the first time that descriptive information on the peoples of the
world--primitive, historical, and contemporary--had been
systematically organized for the purposes of comparative research.
In this volume, Murdock has completely revised this work, selecting
563 societies that are most fully and accurately described in
ethnographic literature. The identification of each society gives
its geographical coordinates and date, its identifying number in
the "Ethnographic Atlas, " and an indication of whether it is
included in the Human Relations Area Files or the Standard
Cross-Cultural Sample. In addition, bibliographical references are
offered for each society.
The information and suggested research techniques will be of
value to comparativists in anthropology, history, political
science, psychology and sociology. Most importantly, it offers a
simple method fro choosing a valid sample of the world's known
societies for cross-cultural research.
