The Symposium on Cherokee and Iroquois Culture is a comprehensive book that delves into the culture and history of the Cherokee and Iroquois tribes. Published as Bulletin No. 180 by the Smithsonian Institution and Bureau of American Ethnology, the book features a collection of essays and papers presented at a symposium held in 1952. The book is edited by William N. Fenton, a renowned anthropologist and expert on the Iroquois people. The symposium brought together scholars and researchers from various fields to discuss and share their knowledge on the culture, history, and traditions of the Cherokee and Iroquois tribes. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the social organization, religion, art, music, and language of the Cherokee and Iroquois people. It also explores their interactions with European colonizers and the impact of colonization on their culture. The essays are written by experts in their respective fields, including linguists, archaeologists, and anthropologists. The book provides a wealth of information and insights into the Cherokee and Iroquois cultures, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in Native American history and culture. Overall, the Symposium on Cherokee and Iroquois Culture is a comprehensive and insightful book that sheds light on the rich and complex cultures of these two important Native American tribes. Contributors Include Floyd G. Lounsbury, Mary R. Haas, William A. Ritchie And Others.

I recommend this book highly to social scientists who are looking for a review or refresher course in urbanology, advanced undergraduate students, and introductory graduate students. As our American college student bodies become more culturally diverse, The Humanity of Cities provides a welcome respite from the usual culture-bound texts that give limited attention, for effect only, of the sterotypical `Third World'. Contemporary Sociology Gulick's style is to develop each topic by presenting appropriate case studies. He manages to include an enormous range of studies, and he wisely reaches out beyond anthropology to the many fields that concern themselves with urban life. This book is consequently an excellent compilation of the recent history of theoretical and empirical research on an in cities. The 28-page bibliography is itself a tour de force. American AnthropologistCombining major urban theories with empirical studies from around the world, the author offers poignant glimpses into urban life, including: the streets of San Francisco as seen through the eyes of a proud garbage collector; the marketplace of Ibadan, as seen by a petty food trader; the curiously empty streets of Fun city, a California retirement community; and Cairo's teeming cemetary, the City of the Dead, filling with the living. The problems of urban life are shown to be more a result of worldwide forces, rather than the intrinsic nature of cities. This major, new, and timely contribution to the field is a most useful way to introduce urban scholars, planners, and students in a variety of disciplines to The Humanity of Cities. A complete teachers' manual makes this the perfect text.
