4.0 out of 5 stars excellent introductory book, April 23, 2000
By Al Kihano (Iskandria) - See all my reviews
Gross's _Discovering Anthropology_ is a well-illustrated, smartly written introduction to anthropology. Gross surveys both physical and cultural anthropology in a clear and insightful way. Appropriate for high school students and young college students.
