"This original introduction to cultural anthropology is a textbook like no other.
Structured more as a narrative rather than a compendium of facts about cultures and
concepts, it invites students to think of anthropology as a series of stories that
emerge from cultural encounters in particular times and places. These moments of encounter
are illustrated with reference to both classic and contemporary ethnographic examples-from
Coming of Age in Samoa to Coming of Age in Second Life-allowing readers to grasp anthropology's
sometimes problematic past, while still capturing the excitement and potential of
the discipline. The second edition has been updated throughout with fresh ethnographic
examples, and features a new introduction, and two new chapters - one on economic
anthropology and exchange, and one on health and medicine. As well, an end-of-book
Glossary has been added for quick reference. The result is a more streamlined book
that offers thorough coverage but is manageable to teach."
