Conrad Phillip Kottak Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Written by a prominent scholar in the field, Conrad Phillip Kottak, this concise, student-friendly, current introduction to cultural anthropology carefully balances coverage of core topics and contemporary changes in the field. New to this edition, Connect Anthropology offers a variety of learning tools and activities to make learning more engaging for students and teaching more efficient for instructors. Mirror for Humanity is a perfect match for cultural anthropology courses that use readings or ethnographies along with a main text.

Focused on the appreciation of anthropology, the new edition of Cultural Anthropology offers an up-to-date holistic introduction to cultural anthropology. Key themes of appreciating the experiences students bring to the classroom, appreciating cultural diversity, and appreciating the field of anthropology are showcased throughout the text. In this edition, Understanding Ourselves chapter openers and Through the Eyes of Others boxes show how anthropology helps us understand ourselves. New Appreciating Diversity boxes focus on the various forms of human biological and cultural diversity. Appreciating Anthropology boxes are also new to the text and focus on the value and usefulness of anthropological research and approaches.

The new edition of Kottak's best selling text continues to offer a holistic introduction to anthropology that approaches the course from a four-field perspective. The extensive revision offers many new exciting features that build on the strengths of this approach. A new theme, emphasizing anthropology's integrated and comparative nature, can be found in new Bringing It All Together essays that show how anthropology's sub-fields and dimensions combine to interpret and explain a common topic. A second new theme, Understanding Ourselves, helps to explain the relevance of facts and theories to students. Two new features, Interpreting the World and Atlas Questions, tie in the text with key content from the atlas which is now shrink-wrapped free with every new copy of the book.
