Anthropology takes a dynamic approach to exploring the four fields and the connections between them. Each chapter begins with a particular problem or story that draws the reader in and illustrates why concepts of that chapter are important. The content is then organized around a series of questions so that students participate in the investigation of ideas. --Claudine Pied, University of Wisconsin Platteville Anthropology is easy for students to understand, easy for them to relate to, and is not too overwhelming. It holds the attention of the modern college student, which is not an easy accomplishment. The engaging writing of this textbook--its clear presentation coupled with contemporary and relatable examples--is the primary reason I have chosen this book for my class. --Monica Cox, Auburn University
