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.

Great DVD to view and watch. For those not knowing anything about other cultures this DVD will help expose people to other cultures.

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.

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.
