Cengage Advantage Books: Culture Counts: A Concise Introduction To Cultural Anthropology

Framed around the concept of culture, CULTURE COUNTS, 3rd Edition shows you how culture matters in driving and explaining human behavior, how culture is dynamic, and how it interrelates various cultural systems in adaptive (or maladaptive) ways. The book emphasizes why understanding culture is important for understanding the world today, and how humans can solve problems and effect positive change. The authors draw you into the book's concepts via engaging ethnographic storytelling and a conversational writing style that connects you to the topics. You'll focus on contemporary issues, issues of globalization, issues of gender, and issues of equalities and inequalities topics that are important to both the study of anthropology and your understanding of the world around you.

It's a wonderful book but it was hard to read due to how worn down it was. It had scratched off text and looked like it was about to fall apart but a book is a book.

This book is easy to follow.

I bought it for a cultural anthro class. The price is pretty good considering I straight out bought it and it was interesting, but the author is clearly biased in her writing and does not do a good job of presenting accurate anthropological ideas. Still, it was good to have.

Thank you so much! This book was in fantastic condition for being used! I am so appreciative. Got it fast and great service! Highly recommended :)

even the cover is old , but inside is still new and no note

is okay its cheaper than the school bookstore

Needed it for class; passed the term.

Exactly what I expected! Great !
