Cultural Anthropology: A Perspective on the Human Condition

By Emily A. Schultz and Robert H. Lavenda

Book Overview

This introduction to the major subfields of anthropology explores the interplay of biological and cultural forces shaping human nature, human society, and human history. Cultural creativity and human agency are seen as part of the human biological (evolutionary) heritage. This biocultural approach is evident throughout the text in the authors' consistent examination of both interpretive and materialist factors.

ASB102 TEXT MR. McCAIG-PHOENIX COLLEGE

I started reading the text in preparation for Spring Semester '10 and it seems very interesting. My instructor chose this book as opposed to another text that another instructor chose for her class. I like the ETHNO PROFILES--and the book is well- written, I believe. and well-illustrated. I won't know for sure about this product until I get into it starting January 19, 2010

just as good as a used book from school, but cheaper

I am taking Anthro 201 and really only use the book for vocab. the one nice thing is that the book places definitions of each highlighted term at the bottom of the page for easy viewing
