Anthropology

This comprehensive introduction to the four fields of anthropology reflects recent anthropological research and controversial developments, while integrating features in each chapter to spark and maintain student interest. A focus on applied anthropology highlights the history and types of anthropology practiced in the United States, examines medical anthropology, and shows how the work of anthropologists is playing more of a role in the planning of possible solutions to various global social problems.Ember, Carol R. is the author of 'Anthropology', published 2004 under ISBN 9780131849754 and ISBN 0131849751.
