内容説明

The book is thoroughly up-to-date and gives full consideration to contemporary issues in addition to the classic topics. Students will gain a solid understanding of how the work of anthropology is relevant to today's world. The chapters combine theory with method and practice so that students gain important theoretical grounding in the discipline as well as a good understanding of what anthropologists actually do. The socio-cultural approach and the inclusion of a range of global ethnographic examples mean that this book has broad appeal/relevance and is particularly suitable for students outside of North America. Unlike many existing textbooks it does not focus just on cultural or social anthropology, or contain mostly US case studies. Pedagogic features have been included to aid students' understanding and revision, including text boxes, images, glossary, and further reading. Additional resources are provided via a companion website.
