Description and Table of Contents
Description
A briefer version of Peoples and Bailey's best-selling HUMANITY: AN INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, 4th (1997). HUMANITY, 4th is noteworthy for its strong historical coverage and concentration on ethnic conflict in the modern world. The brief text will condense much of this material, appealing to the significant number of instructors who assign supplemental readings and ethnographies along with a main text. INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY is a more accessible text with greater visual appeal and simpler graphs and concept summaries.
