Editorial Reviews
Review
"I am so pleased to see that a rather comprehensive and dynamically written textbook on cultural anthropology is now available. The scope of this book as well as the style of writing, from my perspective, is the best among currently available textbooks on cultural anthropology."
"Peoples and Bailey’s Humanity is the most "student-friendly" cultural anthropology text on the market today. Its lush full-color photographs have instant appeal to today’s visually oriented learner, its text and structure make the content easy to follow and review, and its website activities are fun and challenging, with impressive live standby support. The authors’ approach to anthropology is down-to-earth and lends itself to a variety of classroom debates and interpretations. It’s rare to find a text that presents complex content so clearly without talking down to the reader, and that moves so smoothly from local examples to global concerns. It’s one text I know my students will open and read!" --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description
Using engaging stories and clear writing, ADVANTAGE BOOKS: HUMANITY: AN INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, Eighth Edition introduces cultural anthropology within a solid framework centered around globalization and culture change. Peoples and Bailey focus on the social and cultural consequences of globalization, emphasizing culture change and world problems. The book's engaging narrative provides new ways of looking at many of the challenges facing the world in this century. As you explore more contemporary issues, including recent debates on gay marriage, cultural and economic globalization, population growth, hunger, and the survival of indigenous cultures, you'll gain a better understanding of the cultural information you need to successfully navigate in today's global economy. The authors emphasize the diversity of humanity and reveal why an appreciation and tolerance of cultural differences is critical in the modern world.
