Cultural Anthropology: A Global Perspective

Drawing on both classic and recent research in the field, this introduction to anthropology integrates an historical and global approach with the ethnographic data available from around the world. It reflects the understanding of social and cultural changes based on the relationships among different types of societies. It aims to demonstrate the diversity of different societies and cultural patterns, but also shows how humans everywhere are fundamentally similar. An instructor's manual is also available (0-13-301508-4).
