thought on human behavior, from Herodotus and Ibn Battuta to Adam
Smith and Adam Ferguson.

- Features key texts from the ancient and medieval worlds through to the Enlightenment

- Provides fascinating insights into the ways historians, philosophers, missionaries, and even writers of fiction have made valuable contributions to modern anthropological inquiry
