The accounts are eloquently structured and the content in intellectually intriguing past the black and white words. You'll read a story at a time but they all overlap together to create a story of mankind's overall cultural variety and similarities. It highlights very beautifully the intriguing nature of the different cultural foundations and their motifs, interpretations,and life's artistic creativeness.

You get to travel through different peoples mindsets,through their reviews, as they experience different parts of the world's cultures while pondering their own stored knowledge juxtaposing to the emotional discoveries of life's creativity and adaptability. I definitely recommend reading this because it diversifies your perceptions of the universe by peoples lifestyle reflections of it, and it adds more colors and meaning to your understanding of human nature and evolution, and lastly, it explores and merges the most fascinating theme of psychological complexity and its manifested communication people between individuals.

You'll close the book being more curious about the world and wanting to learn and observe it more carefully and actively. This is probably the best textbook I've ever had, mostly because it is decidedly un-textbookish.

Full of [mostly] interesting articles, it was fairly easy to get through; I did actually read it! And despite being a textbook, we were assigned all, but like three, of the articles it contains. So I did end up reading the whole god damn thing [or close to it]! Hooray for last week of my summer class and a short summer before fall term begins!

This is a really excellent book filled with a variety of stories and scenarios that help to enlighten readers about popular topics and thoughts in Anthropology.

I really enjoyed it and found it very helpful for critical thinking and examining of various social groups and situations.

I think if you really enjoy learning about what motivates certain cultural traditions and social expectations, this is a great read!

Mar 07, Christy rated it it was amazing. I've perused a lot of anthropology textbooks, as it was definitely a major interest of mine in college and we had no anthropology program in the school , and of all that I read, this was definitely my favorite. Very readable and quite interesting, whether you're a student or not.

Feb 02, Laurie rated it it was amazing. A book comprised of engaging ethnographic articles on topics that shape human cultures around the world. Sep 02, Dawna rated it really liked it. Fascinating stories, I love this sort of reading. Fish's "Mixed Blood" was an eye-opener and should be required reading. Last time I checked, it was available as an online article, it's about the origins of 'race'. Read as a text for an Introduction to Cultural Anthropology course.

Decent anthology of writings about cultural anthropology. Covers a wide array of cultures and provides a decent primer for a new student. Feb 13, Nastya Gallagher rated it really liked it.

Great collection of articles written on virtually every topic within cultural anthropology. Nov 13, Chrissy rated it it was amazing. Such an amazing wealth of information on cultural anthropology. Whether you're a student or just a curious reader, this is far more intriguing than any textbook I was assigned in school!

Didn't read the entire book, but read a lot of the articles for class. Four articles have been updated for this edition. An entirely NEW section on globalization includes three new articles that introduce readers to key concepts: how popular culture spreads to different societies and the processes by which cultural artifacts, social structures, and ideas are adopted and changed as they reach new societies. Enjoy the Sites and Sounds of Anthropology!
