Great Book! Swell Timing!

The shipping was fast and great! The book was in great condition and packaging was well put together.

Anthropology 11th edition

It took a little while to arrive, about 2 weeks so I had to catch up on the reading for class but this book saved me a lot of money. Compared to the ridiculous prices in my school bookstore. I payed, with shipping and handling, about 6 bucks and the school was selling the 12t edition for 102 dollars, used! The only difference between the 11th and 12th edition was a few pictures. Same written text, same material.

Seems an unbiased attempt at basic anthropological issues

This was an excellent introduction to the world of anthropology, with an attempt to remain culturally-fair with all topics touched upon, including its example of Christianity being "not perfect" by pointing out some of the problems introduced as a result of adopting Chrisitianity over another religious following. It prepared the reader for further studies in anthropology quite well, although (probably since I have already read more in-depth books in the field) it left me somewhat bored with the basic level of writing used. Would highly recommend this book for anyone wishing to be introduced to the very fascinating and diverse field of anthropology!!!
