Culture and Ethnology is a book written by Robert Harry Lowie in 1917. The book is a comprehensive study of the different cultures and ethnologies of different societies around the world. The author explores the different aspects of culture, including language, religion, customs, and traditions. He also discusses the different theories and methods used in the study of ethnology, including biological and environmental determinism, diffusionism, and functionalism.Lowie's work is based on extensive fieldwork and research, and he draws on a wide range of sources to provide a detailed and nuanced understanding of the different cultures and societies he discusses. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of culture and ethnology. These include the origins of culture, the development of language, the role of religion, the importance of art and music, and the impact of colonialism on indigenous cultures.Throughout the book, Lowie emphasizes the importance of understanding the unique cultural and historical contexts of different societies. He also highlights the need for ethnologists to be aware of their own biases and assumptions, and to approach their research with an open mind and a willingness to learn from the people they are studying.Overall, Culture and Ethnology is a seminal work in the field of anthropology and remains an important resource for students and scholars interested in the study of culture and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
