To illustrate use of the concept, four of the chapters describe specific research studies, drawn from anthropology, psychology, and sociology. these are framed by a general introduction to the conept of cultural practices and a commentary on its connection to toher concepts, such as activity and activity systems. This is the 67th issue of the journal series New Directions for Child Development.
