Korvaava tuote: 9780205583539 The first introductory anthropology text to present and integrate a four fields perspective through out the text, while simultaneously integrating important topics such as ethics, methods, gender and race in all chapters.
Co-authors cultural anthropologist, Barbara Miller, and world-renowned biological anthropologist, Bernard Wood, are joined by three of the brightest new scholars in archaeology and biological anthropology to provide coherent and in-depth coverage of each of the four fields of anthropology. This text presents the core concepts of anthropology from the unique voices of the four fields using current discoveries, research and issues to demonstrate how the issues and perspectives are connected and why anthropology is relevant to today's world. Up-to-date research and the impact of the newest discoveries upon the “classics” in anthropology are reflected in the choice of examples presented to illustrate key ideas. Beautifully illustrated, Anthropology: Crossing the Fields maximizes the effectiveness of the art program by building pedagogy into the captions of photos, figures, tables and maps.
The result is an original and unique text, which provides the most faithful and holistic representation available of anthropology today.
