This wide-ranging study takes the story of Kenneth Jackson's Language and History in Early Britain on from the 12th century to the end of the 20th century, mainly by using written and oral recordings of place-names. The main emphasis is on the place-names of Cardiganshire (now Ceredigion) but place-names in other parts of Wales are also considered and they are all discussed in the context of historical dialectology."

Originally published in 1935, this classic work laid the groundwork for a global sociology of religion, shifting from grand theories of the late 19th and early 20th centuries to a fieldwork-based focus. Roger Bastide's comprehensive survey was pivotal in steering the study of religion toward ethnography, marking the beginning of a golden era in religious anthropology. As a pioneer of structural anthropology alongside Claude Lévi-Strauss, Bastide integrates foundational elements of this emerging approach with ethnopsychiatry. The work defines religion, reinterprets rites and representation, and examines religions as systems. Bastide rigorously analyzes theories of the sacred, the origins of religion, and the social dimensions of religious life and change. He critically assesses some of the more extravagant claims in the field, favoring a meticulous descriptive approach that acknowledges the spiritual aspects of religion. Of significant relevance both historically and in contemporary discourse, this work revitalizes and expands our understanding of religion within a comparative framework, crucial in a world influenced by globalism and fundamentalism. Roger Bastide (1898-1974) was a professor at the University of São Paulo and the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris, recognized with the Légion d'honneur and a chair at the Sorbonne.
