pure utility

this book doesn't beat around any topiary material culture, if you know what i mean. its necessary for every undergrad/ grad anthro student who still hasn't quite decided what to do with themselves post-collegiately... its packed with examples and studies. there's so much information that it comes across as boring. however, sometimes reality is boring. deal with it and get a job far away from school with your anthropology degree!
