James Leigh and Stephen Hill
lead us on a fascinating journey through peculiar and parochial phenomena of culture, language and human behaviour ... [H]owever, they never lose sight of the universals
in the activities of all humans worldwide, irrespective of their biological and cultural inheritance
. This work is
a riveting and attention-grabbing book packed with examples
which
bring to life the dynamic relationship which humans
have with their physical and cultural surroundings.
[T]he authors demonstrate
that we are all the result of our genetic and cultural inheritance
[and so] we discover the profound and dramatic effects that this dual inheritance has on
what we are and
eventually become
. This is a book which will undoubtedly have appeal for students
and also for the serious (and less serious) readers
. [T]he reader will find this a highly interesting Safari filled with insightful discoveries
that can help us all in our multicultural life.

Reader's commment
I am impressed by the scope of material you cover, the way you intertwine elements, the range of sources, and the linkages you draw between elements that sometimes appear unlikely partners. Your work is a tour de force an amazing piece of work.
