Biased and superficial
The Essence of Anthropology does a great job of taking a very readable and approachable tone. Unfortunately, the authors sling their biases everywhere, making a big mess all over the text. A book of this nature should be written from a disinterested perspective. The authors write it from a hyper-liberal perspective. For instance, they refrain from judging cultures based on marriage ...

This book has inspired me to stop 'casually dating' my own house and take our relationship to the next level!
Thirty years ago Bunny Williams fell in love with a run down 18th century farmhouse that was being used as a rental by college students. (That should indicate to you just how run down it had become.) She has done so much to restore the house and grounds to their glory days. The landscaping projects alone have taken decades to reach their potential. As Bunny's father pointed out, that had she ...

Great read
Even though I needed this book for a class it was very interesting. Glad that my instructor chose it.It does not focus on one group of people, it shares information about a large number of various cultures across the world.

Insightful and not at all preaching.
I couldn't disagree more with the previous reviewer and felt the need to add my review to explain the absurdity of theirs. This book is very insighful, interesting, and makes perfect sense. Quite a bit of the writers opinions are included, but that is the case with most books on the social sciences. It is almost an unavoidable reality that the author will flavor the text with their own personal ...

Whereas Some People Make Lists, Albert Hadley Sketches
This book of brilliant drawings by the "Dean of Interior Design" Albert Hadley was printed as a catalog to accompany a 2004 exhibit at the New York School of Interior Design titled "Albert Hadley: Drawings and the Design Process". So the text is limited to little more than captions, but the drawings themselves do indeed tell the story. Starting with colored interior academic studies from his ...

Forensic Buff
I am in the process of taking a course like this and it is helping me. A mind-opening type b ook. A little forensic used in discovery of bones of historical man. Anthropology is the main theme. I only gave it 3 stars because I am waiting to see how the course proceeds.

readable textbook
I don't know about the rest of you but reading college textbooks put me to sleep. This textbook is not like the rest. I was able to get a lot of reading done without fighting back the urge to sleep. The presentation is such that it's inviting and even enjoyable to read the book. Some students in my class complained that some of the content was too graphic (some nudity and [..], as well as ...
