New to this Edition



  • Three thought-provoking questions begin each chapter and highlight the themes of upcoming content and provoke classroom discussion
  • "Through the Eyes of Others" essays written by foreign students studying in the US contrast aspects of American culture with practices in their own culture of origin
  • Recap tables found throughout the text help to visually summarize topics within sections e.g., major theoretical approaches in the history of anthropology, or steps in the scientific method
  • Key terms are defined in the margins on the pages where the terms are introduced, and at the end of each chapter, a list of those terms cross-references the page where each term is defined
  • New end-of-chapter "Test Yourself!" sections actively encourage students to apply what they read about in the chapter
  • Updated "News Briefs" introduce each chapter and show how anthropology attracts public attention and how it relates to contemporary events, issues, and world affairs – stories come from all forms of media (newspapers, magazines, websites, and more)
