"Ethnology and, consequently, ethnological survey must be total. It sould be understood by it that nothing that affects man can be neglected: his conception of such a star is as important, within his system, as his agricultural custom; the special food that he assimilates on a ritual occasion plays as much role as the relations established between his god and his animals or as the category to which the tree belongs in whose wood he cuts his shuttle." - translated from preface.
