Anthropology Matters, Third Edition

The third edition of this bestselling book introduces readers to anthropology, and the world around it, by connecting important concepts to current global issues.

This is one of the most intelligent and engaging introductory texts available. It is pithy and covers all of the critical areas one would expect in an introductory class. There are plenty of opportunities for instructors to expand on key concepts or draw in additional material. The text itself, rich with ethnographic examples, will certainly inspire classroom debates, and discussion questions and classroom activity suggestions are well-formulated, encouraging students to get their hands dirty as they wrangle with the issues themselves. -- Liesl L. Gambold, Dalhousie University Connecting basic anthropological principles to current issues, this readable text provides a solid grounding in the discipline but also underlines the importance of understanding someone else's point of view, an invaluable skill in an increasingly globalized and connected world. -- Lucy Laufe, Montgomery College, Maryland
