Heathens: Primitive Man and His Religions
"I am particularly impressed with the humor captured by the  author's prose ( a quality which has endeared The Heathens to most  students and has called forth praise from several reviewers. Of the  several classics in the field of enduring value, such as Linton's  The  Study of Man and Kluckhohn's  Mirror for Man, Howells' The Heathens, in  my estimation, ranks at the very top."  --John C. Messenger, The Ohio State University
