Product description
Review
"This book is enticing and comprehensive. I really appreciate how the authors are able to boil down complex topics in a straightforward fashion. It is the genius that Lavenda and Schultz possess that allows them to locate and describe insights about the material that others would simply gloss over."--Frank L'Engle Williams, Georgia State University "Anthropology is the most sophisticated of any textbook I have reviewed. It remains relatively unique in the four fields and is very effective."--Jason Antrosio, Hartwick College "Lavenda and Schultz's Anthropology is much more accessible and more clearly written than other texts for non-science majors. Their prose is accessible and engaging."--Stephen D. Glazier, University of Nebraska

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read and kind of fun too!
Verified PurchaseThis was my Anthropology 101 textbook. Usually I hate reading textbooks, but this wasn't so bad at all. It read very easily and quickly and covered the concepts in a very simple, direct way. I didn't have to spend hours reading the assigned chapter, and was usually able to read a chapter in about twenty minutes. I have a friend who read this book just for fun, which is quite the praise for a textbook.
