In this volume, Murdock has completely revised this work, selecting 563 societies that are most fully and accurately described in ethnographic literature. The identification of each society gives its geographical coordinates and date, its identifying number in the \u003ci\u003eEthnographic Atlas, \u003c\/i\u003e and an indication of whether it is included in the Human Relations Area Files or the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample. In addition, bibliographical references are offered for each society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe information and suggested research techniques will be of value to comparativists in anthropology, history, political science, psychology and sociology.
