Window on Humanity ISE, Paperback / softback Book

Window on Humanity ISE Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Window on Humanity is a brief introduction to general anthropology.

It covers the four subfields - biological anthropology, anthropological archaeology, sociocultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology - as well as anthropology's two dimensions - academic and applied anthropology. Its shorter length increases instructors options for assigning additional reading-case studies, readers, and other supplements within a one semester course.

Window on Humanity can also work well in a quarter system, for which traditional texts may be too long.

While presenting core concepts and topics, Window also aims to demonstrate anthropology's relevance to the 21st-century world we inhabit.

The text aims to instill an appreciation of human diversity, of anthropology as a field, and of how an anthropological approach can build on, and help make sense of, the experience that students bring to the classroom.
