description: Adolf Bastian mapped a program for anthropological re- search in the nineteenth century that is still accepted in the international scholarly community today. Despite this, Bastian is not widely known as its founder. This is the first time that seminal pieces of the work of this much-neglected scholar have been translated into English. Bastian had an impact, directly and indirectly, on geography, psychology, comparative religious studies, and ethnology in the twentieth century. This volume demonstrates why that is so. Klaus-Peter Kpping is professor of anthropology at the Ruprecht-Karls-University, Heidelberg, Germany.
