| Summary: | "One in a series of short books devoted to different countries that offers much-needed cross-cultural and global material to instructors. Used alongside an introductory sociology text or as a supplement in courses on comparative societies, comparative politics, comparative economics, or social stratification, this book brings a rich global perspective into the undergraduate classroom. The opening chapter establishes historical and cultural context, while subsequent chapters focus on the basic institutions, social stratification, social problems and social change. The chapter organization is typical of a standard introductory sociology text making it easy to use in any class. ; ; ; RECORD: .b10414630; URL: http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0644/95023433-d.html; HTML TOC:; ; ; ; Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 95023433; ; ; ; ; ; Publisher description for Women healers : portraits of herbalists, physicians, and midwives / Elisabeth Brooke.; ; ; Bibliographic record and links to related information available from the Library of Congress catalog; Drawing on primary sources for her revisionist history, the author highlights important contributions of women healers from ancient times to the present."--Publisher description. |
