  • NEW extensive revision and reorganization of Chapter 8 on kinship, descent, and families.
  • NEW sections on music and dance in Chapter 13.
  • NEW expanded coverage of ethnographic history and hypothesis testing in Chapter 2.
  • NEW significant reorganization and updating of Chapter 5 ("Human Diversity and Race"), Chapter 4 ("Ethnicity"), Chapter 6 ("Language and Communication"), and Chapter 11 ("Gender").
  • NEW Student CD-ROM packaged free with every text features a chapter-by-chapter electronic study guide with audio, video, text, and web-based review tools, as well as study break materials and information on how to succeed in this course -- not only a vast improvement over the Eighth Edition's CD-ROM, but also markedly more complete and educationally sound than anything else available for the course.
  • NEW Online Learning Center (OLC) provides web access to many of the tools on the CD-ROM as well as additional tools and invaluable instructor resources -- again, a major expansion of the Eighth Edition's OLC.
  • NEW chapter-opening vignettes highlight a newsworthy current event related to the chapter, drawing students in and emphasizing the relevance of anthropology in today's world.
  • NEW chapter-opening outlines are streamlined to make them easier for students to follow, and chapter-opening overviews have been rewritten entirely for clarity and conciseness.
