Manual for Kinship Analysis

Originally published in 1964 by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, this volume has been used by more than 50,000 students as an introduction to classifying and analyzing the kinship systems of the world. This second edition introduces in a simple, step-by-step style the methods of componential analysis as well as determining the structure of Iroquois, Crow-Omaha, and other kinship systems. A good supplemental text for Introductory Anthropology courses.
