Product Description
Explore the most fascinating, creative, dangerous, and complex species alive today: you and your neighbors in the global village. With compelling photos, engaging examples, and select studies by anthropologists in far-flung places, the authors of CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY: The Human Challenge provide a holistic view of anthropology to help you make sense of today's world. With this text you will discover the different ways humans face the challenge of existence, the connection between biology and culture in the shaping of human beliefs and behavior, and the impact of globalization on peoples and cultures around the world.

 Fast shipping and good service July 20, 2010

I ordered this book for a Summer class that only lasted 5 weeks and the class had already started when I ordered, so I didn't have time to wait around for slow shipping. I ordered on a Wednesday and the book arrived on Friday. I couldn't be happier with the quick and reliable service I received. Ordering was fast and painless, I would absolutely order from them again. Thanks!!!!

I bought this book for a class. I thought the book would be terribly dry as most text books are, but this one supprised me. I actually tried to read the entire book (instead of skimming like I usually do with a text book) because everything in it was very interesting. I also like the way it is set up with the stories in inserted boxes, and the key words highlighted and defined in the paragraph and also at the bottom of the page.
Very good text! November 13, 2009

Had this text for a cultural anth class and I really enjoyed reading it. I recommend it to other anth instructors!

A treat to purchase a new book, normally choose to get used. Paid for upgraded shipping (2 day) and didn't see it for almost 5 days. Good thing the prof had some other related readings in the library for the class members to use while waiting for ordered books! Didn't fall too far behind in readings while item was in transit.
Great Cultural Anthrop Text August 28, 2009

Although my Professor is only using this text as a reference and Chapter 4 is a little challenging to get through- if you want to learn more about the peoples of the world - this is a great text. It provides challenges and honest truth about different peoples being oppressed by others and losing their cultures in the process. I think many Anthropologists try to fight discrimination and ignorance and this book follows that mind set. The highlighted stories are excellent and I find myself very amused when I read them.
