Being Human: An Introduction to Cultural Anthropology

The author has presented a dearth of scholarly investigation into our world of diverse cultures in an exceptionally rational and objective perspective. The materials contained therein are relevant, helpful, and easy to understand.

Non gender specific view point.

This book takes a non gender specific view point of many culturals and cultural aspects. Previous books I have read from leading Anthropologist take a males view and see things to gender specific. I a male reader and found Mari Womack an excellent reader and enjoyed a non bias look at other ethnic groups.
