Cultural anthropology - Hardcover

Anthropology, perhaps to a greater extent than any other discipline, illuminates the human experience. Anthropologists introduce us to societies in every quarter of the globe; tell us about the lifestyles, customs, and world views of social groups other than our own; and thus enable us to test our theories of humanity as well as prejudices and preconceptions of other people. It is the purpose of this book to introduce the student to this cross-cultural approach to the study of human values and behavior.
