Reviews

<p> The book is intended for the intelligent layman rather than the professional anthropologist.... [T]his is an instructive and stimulating book. <p> --J. S. La Fontaine, Man <p> The volume can be summed up as: A series of simple readable accounts by competent scholars, of the status quo in anthropology in several fields, with occasional sign posts pointing out the directions that study appears to be taking, and, moreover, why these trends are important.... I think the book quite worthwhile as an indication of trends; it will be bought by many students and used in conjunction with many classes. <p> --Jess D. Jennings, American Anthropologist <p> The industrious and ingenious editor of anthropological journals, series, and books, Sol Tax, has induced several younger members of the profession to show their wares. <p> --Wilson D. Wallis, The Quarterly Review of Biology
