Cultural Anthropology: Appreciating Cultural Diversity Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
A leading name in anthropology, Conrad Philip Kottak continues to define student learning in the cultural anthropology course. Cultural Anthropology offers an up-to-date holistic introduction to general anthropology from the four-field perspective. Key themes of appreciating the experiences students bring to the classroom, appreciating human diversity, and appreciating the field of anthropology are showcased throughout the text. Focusing on an increasingly interconnected world, the new Focus on Globalization essays examine topics as diverse as tourism in the ancient and modern worlds, global disease pandemics, world events (including the Olympics and the World Cup), and the expansion of international finance and branding.

Recently had the opportunity to view the International version of this book and compare it to the "real" version of this book. They are exactly the same except for the cover. Needed this text for a class and went with the International version because it was $150 less than the "real" version. I do see some of the "real" version cheaper and that could be due to the time frame of when I was looking-supply and demand. So if you want a less expensive text, perhaps you want the International version.As for the book, it is for my daughter who feels like the book is written like a story. She would rather get the material and get it completed.
The author does a great job on staying on topic with different cultures. He also does a good job with discussing cultures that he has had first hand experience with. Unfortunately it seems he relies too much on his own experience, so you end up learning too much about cultures throughout Brazil
I bought this book for a class. Great book! Well written! Though very expensive! And I wish that it were offered in ebook format.
My son needed it for school, he seems to be enjoying it!
The only thing I don't like about the book is that it's not hardback (so it bends easily). But the service was great and I received it a week earlier than what I had expected.
rented but of course still in good conditions even tho not the best but it is intact and has everything that it needs to have so what more can i say
This book helped. The professor wanted the newer edition but I couldn't find it when I ordered this one. Thanks.....
Great price for a brand new textbook. Book received in a timely fashion.
