Beschreibung:
"This humorous and accessibly written text offers students an introductory look into the connected nature of anthropology's four major research fields: archaeology, physical, cultural, and linguistics. The goal of the book is to provide students with an appreciation of the ways in which anthropology frames the world. By viewing the world through the lens of anthropology, students will learn anthropological perspective, methods, ideas, theories, and ethics that will encourage them to become aware of and question their assumptions. The book uses textboxes throughout to highlight the key themes of food and sustainability, to demonstrate how anthropology is embedded in popular culture, and to incorporate original writings and topics of popular interest. Each chapter begins with an epigraph and includes learning objectives, a chapter summary, review and discussion questions, and a list of key terms."--
