Reviews
'Anthropology and the Cognitive Challenge is, in sum, an excellent little book that deserves to be read by all social scientists interested in the role of the mind in human affairs.' Thomas Wynn, Anthropos
'I believe that Bloch offers a well-reasoned and balanced perspective on the divide between psychology and anthropology. Most psychological and cognitive anthropologists will find themselves nodding in agreement as they read.' Harold D. Green, American Anthropologist
