Unfortunately, this book never arrived. It was for a college class for my son, and we ended up having to buy one on campus at a considerable increase in cost. Amazon is refunding my money, however.

The book was in great condition and at a very good price... Although the shipping time could have been faster =) But other than that i am very satisfied with my purchase.

Window on Humanity review,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Window on Humanity: A Concise Introduction to Anthropology (Paperback)
I ordered this product last minute for the spring semester of school and I was pleased to see that it was shipped on time so I had it for the first day of class. Despite a few pages highlighted from the previous owner, it was a great purchase. Compared to the campus bookstore's price of $60, I only paid a total of around $10 (including shipping and handling).
