2.0 out of 5 stars
An overpriced book,
By
This review is from: Cultural Anthropology (Paperback)
This is a perfectly fine cultural anthropology textbook. It is well-organized and reasonably well-written
The problem with this book as that that it is extremely overpriced. The issue is that editions 9E, 8E, 7E,... are equally good. They publish a new edition with an inflated price ($150) every year and the differences in editions are negligible, The publisher and the authors (Nanda and Warms) should be ashamed of themselves.

Excellent for the classroom,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cultural Anthropology (Paperback)
Nanda's text, like her others, is relevant, accessible, and a perfect part of an introduction to Anthropology course. I only wish publishers could figure out a way to make these more affordable for students.

4.0 out of 5 stars
I've seen a lot of intro texts,
By E. Campisi "extrabooksalbany" (Baldwin, NY United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Cultural Anthropology (Paperback)
This one stands out for its clarity and lack of too much of a materialist or idealist bias, which is where other intro texts have become annoying to me. I'm trying it for my next class because 3 of my colleagues have already recommended it.
