Reviews
The authors do a very fine job of folding in current research in a concise yet engaging way. Students are guided with core questions and engaging case studies, but are not told what to think * so they learn to think critically. The authors also do an incredible job of fusing sociocultural and biocultural perspectives throughout. This is the best text on the market.Keri Brondo, ^lUniversity of Memphis *
I chose this book because it takes a comprehensive approach to covering many topics in a concise manner. This is the perfect text for my students in terms of readability, content, and presentation. * Robert M. Clark, ^lPennsylvania Highlands Community College *
The text aligns nicely with my course discussion that anthropology is a science, just different from the definitions and modes of practice that most students are familiar with. The chapter on globalization is very well done. I like and enjoy teaching from this text more than others I have used, and students respond positively to it. * Brett Hoffman, ^lUniversity of Wisconsin-Oshkosh *
