Lords of parliament

<p>This is the only anthropological book about the British Parliament. It marks the first time a researcher has had almost untrammelled access and every significant aspect of the Upper Chamber has been inquired into. The result is a unique portrait packed with the unexpected of a surprising institution which is becoming increasingly influential. Meticulous scholarship is combined with clarity in explanation to produce a work that helps to bridge the gap between anthropology and political science.<br><br>Political science scholars and students and those in related fields as well as anthropologists will find it of interest as will many general readers curious about politics.</p>
