Reviews

“Many students will take just one elective course in anthropology. For that reason, it is important to use an ebook written for the student, and one they will enjoy reading, not a textbook written just to appeal to the professor. Through the Lens of Anthropology is the one textbook that achieves this goal. Highly recommended.” –— Vaughn M. Bryant, Texas A&M University

“Through the Lens of Anthropology is an innovative and exciting ebook—not something I say lightly about a textbook! The examples are effective, the text is engaging, and the themes of food and sustainability provide enough flexibility to allow me to match the text to my own teaching goals. It is also the first truly North American approach to four-field anthropology to cross my desk. This is a book that will appeal to instructors and students alike, and one that I look forward to using.” — Erin Halstad McGuire, University of Victoria
