Essentials of Cultural Anthropology

This text is a brief, more affordable version of the Peoples and Bailey, AN INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, Fifth Edition (2000). Its coverage of core topics, smaller size, and economical price make it well suited for instructors who wish to adopt a core text along with supplemental texts such as readers and ethnographies. The text shares, in a briefer format, the same rich characteristics that made HUMANITY a best-seller over the strong scholarship, rich ethnographic examples and a unique focus on modern ethnicity and the survival of indigenous peoples.
