This review is from: Participant Observation (Paperback)
Along with "The Ethnographic Interview", this is a mainstay of field anthropologists and should be read by anyone who wants to gain a true understanding of the issues facing an Anthropologist (social). As an anthropologist working in business I have gone back to this text again and again to refocus and aid in explaining to others what I can, or actually do. "Participant Observation" is often the text which accompanies a fieldwork course and can be found cheaper at any university library (I never thought I would say that!!).
I fear that many people buying this book will be sorely disappointed that it is a very thin paper back addition (for 50+ dollars). The content is good, but the new price still hard to justify. I feel that could tripl sales by dropping to 20-25... I actually found it for 18.95 used. In conclusion- its a good, if pricey book.

This review is from: Participant Observation (Paperback)
As an anthro major who has done a lot in the discipline, but never had an explicit text that put all the info and strategies on Participant observation in one place before, I love this book. Nice concise chapters with lots of information, little fluff and truthfully enjoyable to read. I recommend it to anyone with an interest in participant observation. He also guides you through the actions of an ethnography with tasks at the end of each chapter, which I found very helpful.

I bought this product using the most expensive mailing service because I needed it urgently. It was expected to arrive on the 7th of March and today the 11th hasn't arrived yet. It's outrageous!
