Anthropology Unbound : A Field Guide to the 21st Century

For novice readers who may not regard anthropology as relevant to today's headlines, this book is a break-through.

Durrenberger and Erem show how seeing the world through an anthropological lens enhances our understanding of such current topics as globalization, the new economy, jobs and careers, world trade, the condition of inner cities, and racial and ethnic relations.

It provides the best application available of anthropological research to America's current public issues and concerns.

Written in lively prose, the book is vital to any social science collection.
