Book Description

June 22, 2001 0534586260 978-0534586263 1st
This text is a brief, more affordable version of the Peoples and Bailey, HUMANITY: AN INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, Fifth Edition (2000). Its coverage of core topics, smaller size, and economical price make it well suited for instructors who wish to adopt a core text along with supplemental texts such as readers and ethnographies. The text shares, in a briefer format, the same rich characteristics that made HUMANITY a best-seller over the years: strong scholarship, rich ethnographic examples and a unique focus on modern ethnicity and the survival of indigenous peoples.

2.0 out of 5 stars unsatisfied... why?... copyright issues, February 17, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Text= great. All there, no visible text to digital copy errors.couldn't be happier!
pictures= not all there!? Occasional image proclaims copyright issues so unable to view them. I thought the reason why one purchases/rents a book is to avoid such problems. 0/10 amazon!!

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic, densely packed little text, July 8, 2011
By 
Having read several of the brief or essentials cultural anthropology textbooks, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Yes, it is a compact volume, and less expensive, but it is very comprehensive while being clear and concise. Good coverage of theory and concepts with examples students will relate to their own experiences. Nice features like glossary terms in margins, summary/review tables, and color photos unlike most of the other brief editions. Pleasantly readable and approachable despite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice art book, February 7, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Essentials of Cultural Anthropology (Paperback)
A very nice art book just wish there were more character art but it still is nice. The only down part was that some of the pages were alittle damaged when I recieved it.
