When Aldine originally published this book in 1969, the emerging multidisciplinary field of alcohol studies was dominated by biology, chemistry, physiology, and other 'hard sciences.' As such, writes Dwight Heath in his new foreword, the work challenged the prevailing wisdom in the authors’ use of historical, ethnographic, and cross-cultural data and their analysis of drinking behavior as an anthropological and sociocultural phenomenon. From the Foreword to the Percheron Press Edition: '[O]ne of only a few books that can truly be said to have had a major impact on our understanding of alcohol use and its outcomes.'

Leslie White was one of the most important—and controversial—figures in American anthropology. This classic work, initially published in 1949, contains White’s definitive statement on what he termed 'culturology.' In his new prologue to this reprint of the second edition (originally published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 1969), Robert Carneiro outlines the key events in White’s life and career, especially his championing of cultural evolutionism and cultural materialism.
