Cultures and Societies in a Changing World

More likely to prove useful as a research text in the second year, though first years will benefit from guided reading of selected passages or even chapters. -- Dr Alex MacDonald * drupal *
A good introduction to culture before embarking upon the application of culture to health studies. -- Dr Vincent La Placa * drupal *
Very interesting and detailed text. May be adopted for another module at later date. -- Mr David Ness * drupal *
This book has given me and the students some preliminary thoughts to understand various cultures and societies across the globe. Even though the samples / illustrations produced in this book are far-fetched from the realms of students′ experience (in this case: Jakarta, Indonesian experience), nevertheless, they convey some powerful cross-cultural comparison with what my students experience and comprehend in their day-to-day lives. -- Mr Hendar Putranto * drupal *
Fascinating read. Takes the approach of culture as an axis - using a sociological point of view.

I was hoping for a slightly more global approach, but if you don′t need that, this is a very interesting work. -- Mr Indranath Neogy * drupal *
Extremely general good grounding for students with limited prior studies on economics, politics history or geography. Bibliography provides many useful leads for reading. -- Mr Patrick Meehan * drupal *
This is a very useful book for students to focus on the rapidly changing world of new media. As I am a lecturer from Chinese Culture University in Taiwan, this book will be easy for the students who use English as second language for culture-oriented research. I positively recommend this book for guiding the students through the questions for study and discussion from this book. -- Mr Tai-Jui Wang * drupal *
