SC - Anthropology book on cannibalism

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

I've found the book that examines cannibalism in anthropology. It was 
NOT the title in my earlier message. It is:

The Man-Eating Myth: Anthropology & Anthropophagy
W. Arens
Oxford Paperbacks, Oxford University Press
1979
ISBN 0 19-502793-0

Back cover blurb says:
Belief in the existence of cannibalism just beyond the borders of 
one's own culture is a time-honored, universally accepted notion. The 
author of this provocative book has meticulously viewed the evidence 
from all fields on the world's classic man eaters, from the 16th 
century Aztecs to contemporary African and New Guinean cultures. He 
comes to a conclusion certain to cause shock waves in anthropological 
circles: despite the massive literature alluding to cannibalism, the 
author finds that there is no satisfactory first-hand account of this 
act as a socially approved custom in any part of the world.
