The 37 articles cover a broad range of theoretical perspectives and demonstrate basic anthropological concepts. The Twelfth Edition retains the accessibility of the previous editions and the view that anthropology provides a fascinating perspective on the human experience. Average Rating:
 Rating: - interesting and accessible set of articlesI teach anthropology at a two year college and use this reader in my introductory cultural anthropology courses.

Well Done Rating: - School Bookgot this book for an anthro class at my University. its basically just a compilation of short stories (3 pages - 10 pages) about case studies in anthro. its an easy read and actually was pretty interesting. Rating: - Excellent collection, a standard in anthro -- and the 12th is DIFFERENT from the11thI've used this collection off and on for years in teaching Introduction to Cultural Anthropology. It's a great book, a real standard in anthropology. Honestly, I think the relevance and quality of the essays varies from edition to edition. I liked the 11th more than the 12th. Sometimes a 'favorite' essay gets replaced; and then in the next edition it is returned. Go figure.
