There is little wasted space in this book. It is to the point. This brevity for me was ideal, but for some readers, perhaps they need more examples. For use in a classroom setting, this is an especially useful work if used in conjunction with a readings from cultural anthropology text such as "Conformity and Conflict." The two complement each other very well. More specifically, I found the latter part of MFH especially interesting-- the chapters dealing with gender, the world system, and stratification. MFH should not only appeal to those within the field of cultural anthropology but also should draw the attention of students working within the sister disciplines of history and sociology.

Learning cultural anthropology through this book is a joy ride. When I was reading, it actually felt like I was reading a New York Times Bestseller! This book captures you attention and it is never boring. I had to read this book for my intro to anthropology class and you can only imagine how fun studying for this class was. I've learned so much from it and I would read it again when I have the time!

Amazon lumps ALL editions of this book into 1 mass review. BEWARE purchasing with Amazon the wrong edition, because when you click the correct edition and go to choose the price options, the editions switch out from under you. I suggest elsewhere.

I really wanted to download this book but I found it very strange that it's only available for PC, Mac or iPad... WHY is it that I can't upload it onto my Kindle Fire? Gets me... I guess you just lost a customer on that one!

The book at the school bookstore would of cost me at least $130. Got it here pretty cheap. Online bookstores beat school bookstores by a lot. Buy your school books here at Amazon.

Easy to read and laid out well - easy to follow. I liked the class very much and this text made it interesting.

LOVE IT!!! It's a great book. Great service. I got the book right away

I ordered the book and it arrived in a timely fashion. Within a week. Product was in good condition just like they said it would be.

I needed this book for a class and I got it in time! It was in perfect condition and not as expensive as what they were selling in the book store

I never received the item as promised and never heard from the seller when attempted to get in contact with them. never will buy anything from them again!
