"Fish
don't see water, birds don't see air, and people don't
see culture - not their own anyway," says Dr. Peck. But
cannibals leave clues! And the author invites us along on
her worldwide adventures in search of them.
"It is not
that there is something to be done," she writes, "there
is something to be seen."

How not to be a victim of cultural conditioning.
This is a
book everybody concerned about their own well-being and the
future of their world will want to read and give to their
best friends. It is a light and humorous -- albeit critical
and insightful -- account of how culture shapes our
perceptions of reality and gets us to do what we don't
intend to do.* From Egypt to India, from Paris to Papeete,
Anthropologist Dr. Peck reveals the rituals of culture that
render and keep us spellbound.
Anthropology is good to think with and has the potential to be an
emancipatory Social Science.
Dr. Peck applies it to the practical concerns of everyday life.
*Cannibalism is used in
this book as a metaphor to describe this process of
"consuming"
or being "consumed" by other human beings.

Dr.
Peck has studied and travelled in more than eighty
countries around the world - and has lived and worked in many of them - in her never-ending search for
the illusive tricks and turns of culture. Her previous
non-academic book, Island in Space, was a Canadian
best-seller.
