Edición de la obra Mary Douglas

Mary Douglas' innovative explanations for styles of human thought and for the dynamics of institutional change have furnished a distinctive and powerful theory of how conflicts are managed, yet her work remains astonishingly poorly appreciated in social sicence by reworking Durkheim's legacy for today, and reviews the growing body of research across the social sciences which has used, tested or developed her approach. -- from back cover.
