Coupled with rich interview material, Victor C. de Munck provides a guided tour through the variable geography of love relationships as studied in the social sciences. de Munck describes evolutionary, cognitive, social, prototypical, triadic, and neural theories of romantic love and sex, concluding with an American cultural model of romantic love that also includes its relational properties as a dyad." --

This edited collection presents an agenda for the interdisciplinary study of anthropology and cognitive science. It consists of fifteen chapters written by international experts on the relationship between culture and cognition. This volume is unique in that it includes both inside (i.e., shared mental templates) and outside (i.e., extended, embedded, enactive and ecological) theories of cognition. The contributors come from the diverse disciplinary fields of anthropology, linguistics, archaeology, and cognitive science. The aim is to investigate the mental production of shared knowledge, goals, and desires around which human social life revolves. The coverage spans cultural and linguistic evolution, the importance of local histories, and the role of cultural models to understand and interact with the world. Drawing on cultural model theory, this volume is an invaluable resource for linguists, cognitive scientists, anthropologists, and other social scientists willing to explore and understand how the sharedness of culture can bond us all together across relative cultural differences and (mis)perceived divisions. Giovanni Bennardo is a Board of Trustees Professor in the Department of Anthropology and the Cognitive Science Initiative at Northern Illinois University, USA. With six book publications, a long list of articles, and many book chapters to his credit, he also edited three special issues for World Cultures, the Journal of Cultural Cognitive Science and the Journal of Qualitative Psychology. Victor de Munck is Professor of Anthropology at Vilnius University, Lithuania. His research focuses on changes in love, marriage, and family cultural models as they affect decisions to marry and have children. This current project has received funding from the Research Council of Lithuania, Grant S-MIP-21-47 (P-MIP-21-258). Stephen Chrisomalis is a Professor of Anthropology at Wayne State University in Detroit, USA. His research focuses on the anthropology of numbers and mathematics, as well as historical, comparative, and linguistic approaches to cultural models. His books include Numerical Notation: A Comparative History, Human Expeditions: Inspired by Bruce Trigger, and Reckonings: Numerals, Cognition, and History.

"This new companion traces the development of cognitive anthropology from its beginnings in the late 1950s to the present, and evaluates future directions of research in the field. In twenty-nine articles from leading anthropologists, there is an overview of cognitive and cultural structures, insights into how cognition works in everyday life and interacts with culture, and examples of contemporary research. The companion is essential for anyone interested in the questions of how culture shapes cognitive processes"--
