Synopsis
Cultural Anthropology integrates critical thinking, explores rich ethnographies, and prompts students to skillfully explore and study today's world. Readers will better understand social structures by examining themselves, their own cultures, and cultures from across the globe. Serena Nanda and Richard L. Warms show how historical studies and anthropological techniques can help students think about the nature, structure, and meaning of human societies. With a practical emphasis on areas such as medicine, forensics, and advocacy, this book takes an applied approach to anthropology.
The authors cover a broad range of historical and contemporary theories and apply them to real-world global issues. The Thirteenth Edition includes a wealth of new examples, along with updated statistical information and ethnographies that help students see the range of human possibilities.
