Researching American Culture
Applies anthropological techniques to the study of contemporary American behavior
Basic Demographic Measures
This book is a ready reference and a free-standing text for those who want to understand the measures without plowing through detailed and lengthy explanations of sources of data, international comparisons and, in general, the nuances of the subject matter. It is aimed at the beginner and at the professional who would like a ready reference to these measures and presumes no knowledge of mathematics beyond basic arithmetic and no prior knowledge of demography. The uniqueness of this volume lies in the detailed step-by-step exposition of the calculation of all of these measures in one volume, supplemented by graphs which illustrate significant points. There are 31 tables and 8 figures, yet the volume is small and easy to use. Exercises and answers are provided.

Ritual
From handshakes and toasts to chant and genuflection, ritual pervades our social interactions and religious practices. Still, few of us could identify all of our daily and festal ritual behaviors, much less explain them to an outsider. Similarly, because of the variety of activities that qualify as ritual and their many contradictory yet, in many ways, equally legitimate interpretations, ritual seems to elude any systematic historical and comparative scrutiny. In this book, Catherine Bell offers a practical introduction to ritual practice and its study; she surveys the most influential theories of religion and ritual, the major categories of ritual activity, and the key debates that have shaped our understanding of ritualism. Bell refuses to nail down ritual with any one definition or understanding. Instead, her purpose is to reveal how definitions emerge and evolve and to help us become more familiar with the interplay of tradition, exigency, and self-expression that goes into constructing this complex social medium.
