With the long awaited publication of Volume II, the author provides additional contributions to important topics in our intellectual four major sections: 'Perspective Views'; 'Social Organization'; 'Mythology and Ritual'; and 'Humanisim and the Humanities'. The author focuses on topics which are of great relevance to anthropologists and non-anthropologists alike: comparative religion as it relates to non-literature peoples; how myths die; structuralism and literary criticism; urban civilization and mental health; the future of art; and race in history.
