Synopsis

Societal Organization and Globalization inCultural Anthropology

Cultural Anthropology: A Global Perspectiveprovides students with an introduction to cultural anthropology through a traditional holistic and integrative approach.

Organized by societal type, this book's primary emphasis is on applied anthropology, with a strong coverage of globalization. Additionally, it emphasizes three unifying themes: 1) the diversity of human societies and cultural patterns the world over, 2) the similarities that make all humans fundamentally alike, and 3) the interconnections between the sciences and humanities within anthropology.

This Books la Carte Edition is an unbound, three-hole punched, loose-leaf version of the textbook and provides students the opportunity to personalize their book by incorporating their own notes and taking online the portion of the book they need to class – all at a fraction of the bound book price.
