Description
Framed around the concept of culture, Nanda and Warms's new concise book makes students aware of the fact that culture matters in driving and shaping human behavior, and that culture is a dynamic concept that interrelates various cultural systems in adaptive (or maladaptive) ways. The text focuses on how culture helps direct and explain peoples' behavior; why this is important for understanding what is going on in the world today, and how we can solve problems and effect positive change. Via ethnographic storytelling and a writing style that is both authoritative and conversational, the authors present the key concepts of anthropology in a way that draws students into the topics. The authors emphasize contemporary issues, issues of globalization, and American culture, while continuing to emphasize equalities and inequalities around gender, class, race and ethnicity, as well as the effects of globalization.
