Overview
This book develops a schema, consisting of phenomena of interest to human scientists, and the causal links (influences) which exist among these. The value and validity of the schema are illustrated by studying causal links to and from cultural phenomena. Six broad lessons are drawn from this unique approach for research and teaching in the area of culture.Synopsis
In his own research, Szostak (economics, U. of Alberta) had trouble finding relevant material across disciplines, and later discovered that students were having similar problems integrating material from their different courses. He therefore set out to devise a schema—analogous to a roadmap—by which researchers and students could simplify cross-disciplinary searches. Here he uses the study of culture to test and explain his system, and uses the schema to provide a structure that can enhance the understanding of culture.
