Reviews"The authors do a very fine job of folding in current research in a concise yet engaging way. Students are guided with core questions and engaging case studies, but are not told what to think -- so they learn to think critically. The authors also do an incredible job of fusing sociocultural and biocultural perspectives throughout. This is the best text on the market." -- Keri Brondo, lUniversity of Memphis "I chose this book because it takes a comprehensive approach to covering many topics in a concise manner. This is the perfect text for my students in terms of readability, content, and presentation." -- Robert M. Clark, lPennsylvania Highlands Community College "The text aligns nicely with my course discussion that anthropology is a science, just different from the definitions and modes of practice that most students are familiar with. The chapter on globalization is very well done. I like and enjoy teaching from this text more than others I have used, and students respond positively to it." -- Brett Hoffman, lUniversity of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, The authors do a very fine job of folding in current research in a concise yet engaging way.

SynopsisUnlike textbooks that emphasize the memorization of facts, Asking Questions About Cultural Anthropology: A Concise Introduction , Third Edition, teaches students how to think anthropologically, helping them view cultural issues as an anthropologist might. This approach demonstrates how anthropological thinking can be used as a tool for deciphering everyday experiences. The book covers the essential concepts, terms, and history of cultural anthropology, introducing students to the widely accepted fundamentals and providing a foundation that can be enriched by the use of ethnographies, a reader, articles, lectures, field-based activities, and other kinds of supplements. It balances concise coverage of essential content with a commitment to an active, learner-centered pedagogy., Unlike textbooks that emphasize the memorization of facts, Asking Questions About Cultural Anthropology: A Concise Introduction, Third Edition, teaches students how to think anthropologically, helping them view cultural issues as an anthropologist might.
