Noted for its scholarship and clarity of writing, this comprehensive text continues to be one of the most concise, coherent general introductions to anthropology. The seventh edition has been completely rewritten at the sentence level to reflect the changing world from the demise of the Soviet Union to the growing significance of multiculturalism in North America, and anthropology's increasingly transnational, multilocal and longitudinal perspectives. --Provided by the Publisher
