Bringing together leading authorities, this definitive handbook provides a comprehensive review of the field of cultural psychology.

It also presents cutting-edge work on the psychological and evolutionary underpinnings of cultural stability and change. In all, more than 60 contributors have written over 30 chapters covering such diverse areas as food, love, religion, intelligence, language, attachment, narratives, and work.
