  3. Mrs. Natalie Hall –

    Well written and great thinking and learning exercises.

  4. David Compton –

    This text is full of the types of information Cultural Anthropologists, or curious readers, will find in the field of anthropology. It explains such areas in that field of endeavor such as undercover work or work in the classroom. Not only does it explain the different ways that a cultural anthropologists might encounter situations , it follows them up with real life studies. It’s a good read for students of anthropology, because a typical college student just encounters physical anthropology in his or her studies.

  5. Michael –

    Genuinely really enjoying this book. Bought it as I teach Psychology and I wanted to learn more about anthropology so I could support a student applying for a related course at Uni. So well written, informative and enjoyable. Would highly recommend!
