5.0 out of 5 stars Seeing Anthropology, October 24, 2008

By

This review is from: Seeing Anthropology: Cultural Anthropology Through Film (with Ethnographic Film Clips DVD) (4th Edition) (Paperback)

I took several of Dr. Heider's classes while attending the University of South Carolina. I still look back on his courses as the highlight of my academic career. I remember some of the films from my university days and have been searching for them since. The book is structured well, explores a variety of topics, and expertly weaves a discussion of the films included into the chapters of the book. I have long since graduated but enjoy reading this book and watching the films just to get re-engaged with cultural anthropology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best introductory Text Available on the market, January 16, 2004

This review is from: Seeing Anthropology: Cultural Anthropology through Film (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

This is an excellent text. Any professor searching for a Cultural Anthropology text needn't look any further. Heider presents the material in a very interesting, concise, and very clear way. Heider clearly illustrates the holistic approach to anthropology and explores that avenue in an exciting way.

This review is from: Seeing Anthropology: Cultural Anthropology Through Film (with Ethnographic Film Clips DVD) (4th Edition) (Paperback)

The book came on time and in the condition I expected. I purchased new, so it was wrapped in plastic and included a sealed DVD, which I needed (I purchased new because I couldn't find and used copies that could verify the DVD was included for a good price). Overall, great service from Amazon once again.
