Cultural Anthropology: The Human Challenge Description
Offering compelling photos, engaging examples, and select studies by anthropologists in a variety of locations around the globe, this streamlined, market-leading text presents cultural anthropology in vivid, accessible terms showing students how the field is relevant to understanding the complex world around them. The authors present the fundamental concepts from a holistic perspective using three unifying themes to frame the text: 1) the varied ways humans face the challenges of existence, 2) the connections between culture and biology in shaping human beliefs and behavior, and 3) the impact of globalization on peoples and cultures around the world. They also integrate coverage of race, class, gender, and ethnicity throughout the text, and in this edition, they have expanded the popular Globalscape feature to get students thinking about the consequences of globalization and (sometimes) their own behavior. Furthermore, the text's strong supplements program provides instructors and students with a wealth of resources designed to enhance the teaching and learning experience.

I found this book to be very well organized and that helped me study for my tests and find the right sections when I did my assignments. I thought the book was pretty interesting and I didn't get too bored when I was doing my reading assignments.
I had this same book in the Loose leaf form that has no binding but has 3 holes to put in a binder. It was the 13th edition and the same exact book as this but cheaper, here it is:
Cultural Anthropology: The Human ChallengeOverall I thought this book was pretty good for my class and it helped me get an A.
this text is so interesting, and so engaging, and reads a little bit more like an excellent magazine than a textbook. the chapters are in a good succession and i REALLY liked reading it.
