This book is not worth for around 100 bucks i paid. Hard to read and not easy to follow

This book came way before expected and I got it just in time for the class I needed it for!

i feel as if i payed too much for this book and i barely use it for my telecourse class. cant wait to sell this thing back!

The book arrived in perfect conditions. I hope this vendor would offer overnight shipping or at least other fast delivery option than regular shipping next time, however he complied with his promises. I am very please.
Thanks

I only bought this book because I had to for a college general education class. WAY overpriced for a book I'll never use again. By far more expensive per page than any other text book I've ever had to purchase.

I use this book in my cultural anthropology courses in part because it does what is expected: cover the major divisions of what an introductory class should expose students. However, the plus to me is that the last couple of chapters cover culture contact and change based on a dominant culture coming in contact with smaller groups and also covers "globalization" which is directly relevant to the lives of my students. So at the end of our term we can switch a bit from abstract academic discussions to issues happening the in the world today. We examine concepts like "modernization" and whether the western dominant perspective that this is always good (for everyone) is true and we look at global issues that affect our species, nation, security, and subsistence from a diverse perspective. Adding Annual Editions brings the text to life, as well.
