I enjoyed reading the topics and it covered so many aspects of various cultures thoroughly. I was also taking a sociology class at the time and that class and book had nothing on this one -- I will definitely remember what I learned from this book. It was all very relevant in understanding how our culture is set up and why we have the points of view that we have, and how and why other cultures are different (although that seems like the obvious intention of a cultural anthropology book, my sociology book was also supposed to glean similar insight but failed miserably, whereas this book did a thorough and good job of it).I didn't think the book was long-winded or confusing -- those opinions probably have something to do with either the class or one's opinion of the subject.It references native american cultures a lot -- because they're so varied, it's interesting, but it seems the author had a particular love of them (though it doesn't detract from the text, and many, many other cultures are referenced, also).I think if you read this book and understand the implications of it, you'll be able to better understand what being a human is really comprised of and will probably walk away more open-minded and tolerant.Also, I have a custom edition book for my school that has the same name and author and year but a different cover -- I'm assuming has the same general information, whether or not the format is the same.
Great Text for an anthropology class! I bought it because it was mandatory, but I found myself actually wanted to read from it. Presented well, and I learned a lot. Great examples and description were given to really help wrap your mind around the ideas. it's hard living in today's society in the U.S. and imagining some of these examples, but the book does a great job of really letting you into other societies! One of the few text I enjoyed reading
Book was easily used and in good condition. This was exactly the book I needed for my Culture and Society class. The font is good. Has high lightened words and definitions and definitions are in the margins.
A good book -- much of an American Indian slant -- but lots of review at the end of the chapters, etc. Worked nicely with the online videos from my college class.As for the shipping - first rate, book like new.
Quite satisfied with the condition of my rental textbook. Only wished it came with the e-text Access Card, even though that wasn't promised. Overall, everything was in the condition that it was promised to be.
The arrival of my college text book could not have proved to be more beneficial than any other purchase. Upon arriving, I discovered more than just the depth of meaning anthropology has to offer. I discovered how truly majestic my parcel delivery service man is. This can only be explained through coincidence, fate, and interest in others culture. Carl and I stay up late nights watching Cosby now.
This book did a great job on providing a cultural aspect of anthropology. It helps the readers to step out of their familiarity within their own culture and open a world of the unknown.
I enjoyed this book. It was easy to follow and well written. Many aspects of culture where covered that I never thought of.
