Surveys phenomena as diverse as the uniqueness of the European family, the development of romantic love, the evolution of national and regional cuisines, and the globalization of Chinese food. This book shows that the ethnocentricity of much of Western scholarship has distorted the comprehension of the East and of developments in Europe.
