註釋"A unique alternative to more traditional, encyclopaedic introductory texts, Anthropology, C/e takes a question-oriented approach that illuminates major concepts in the field while also helping students see the relevance of anthropology in today's world. Structuring each chapter around an important question, authors Robert H. Lavenda, Emily A. Schultz, and Cynthia Zutter explore what it means to be human, incorporating answers from all four major subfields of anthropology--biological anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and cultural anthropology. Throughout, they address the central issues of the discipline, highlighting controversies and commitments that shape contemporary anthropology while incorporating diverse examples to spark student curiosity. This edition incorporates discussion of Canadian scholarship, issues, and cases--on topics ranging from Indigenous religions and language preservation, to immigration, to cultural resource management in this country--while still retaining an overarching global approach, giving readers a balanced overview of anthropology at home and abroad. Concise yet thorough, Anthropology, C/e conveys the richness of the field, helping students better understand themselves and the world around them."--
