Free Downloads Medical Anthropology: A Biocultural Approach
An ideal core text for introductory courses, Medical Anthropology: A Biocultural Approach, Second Edition, offers an accessible and contemporary overview of this rapidly expanding field. For each health issue examined in the text, the authors first present basic biological information on specific conditions and then expand their analysis to include evolutionary, historical, and cross-cultural perspectives on how these issues are understood. Medical Anthropology considers how a biocultural approach can be applied to more effective prevention and treatment efforts and underscores medical anthropology's potential to improve health around the world.

I have this as a textbook for my Medical Anthropology class this semester, and am impressed with how well-written, thought-provoking, and easy to get through it is. It actually makes me want to do the readings for class assignments rather than just briefly skim the text before class like other dry textbooks have made me do in the past. This reading would still be interesting outside of a class setting. (And the paper the book is printed on smells really nice, but that just may be me being weird...)
My Intro to Med Anthro class used this as the primary textbook for the first half of the class, and it covers all the important topics in just enough detail with examples of successful interventions.
I used this for a lecture I was giving in my Anthropology course. Full of good information and could be used a text book for a Medical Anthropology course.
Incredibly written and essential!
Great Textbook!
