Reviews

“The question-based approach will involve students. It is a complete length–not too big–but not missing anything either.” — Christa Abdul-Karim, University of Idaho

“This textbook Anthropology 4th edition is a remarkable product and value. I really like the ‘In Their Own Words’ sections within each chapter. They offer tangible, real-world connections that we can expand upon in a class discussion.” — Scott Legge, Macalester College

“I love the question-oriented approach. The ‘Anthropology in Everyday Life’ feature is mainly good, showing the relevance of anthropology. I find the combination of brief chapter summaries and abundant, rich examples throughout the chapters to be a captivating combination.” — Mary Theresa Bonhage-Freund, Alma College

“The approach is inquisitive, as it makes the reader interested. Chapter headings are not statements, but are questions that allow for more critical thinking; they motivate students how to think, rather than telling them only what to think. I love the methodology of this ebook. It is much more applied compared to other textbooks.” — Jaclyn McWhorter, Agnes Scott College

“The Socratic method is a fine way to get students to think about their own questions in the background of what they are learning. This lets them to imerge the four fields in a topical way. The authors do a very beneficial job of offering a variety of different examples from throughout the world, giving it a remarkable global perspective.” — Jason Gonzalez, University of Georgia
