This book is enticing and comprehensive. I really appreciate how the authors are able to boil down complex topics in a straightforward fashion. It is the genius that Lavenda and Schultz possess that allows them to locate and describe insights about the material that others would simply gloss over.
—Frank L Engle Williams,
Georgia State University
Anthropology is the most sophisticated of any textbook I have reviewed. It remains relatively unique in the four fields and is very effective.
—Jason Antrosio,
Hartwick College
Lavenda and Schultz s Anthropology is much more accessible and more clearly written than other texts for nonscience majors. Their prose is accessible and engaging.
—Stephen D. Glazier,
University of Nebraska
A question-oriented approach that shows students the relevance of anthropology in today s world
A unique alternative to more traditional, encyclopedic introductory texts, Anthropology: What Does It Mean to Be Human?, Third Edition, takes a question-oriented approach that incorporates cutting-edge theory and new ways of looking at important contemporary issues such as power, human rights, and inequality. With a total of sixteen chapters, this engaging, full-color text is an ideal one-semester overview that delves deep into anthropology without overwhelming students.
