Erem and Durrenberger believe that studying anthropology doesn't mean one shouldn't have opinions on the subject. This second edition of their textbook/manifesto demonstrates that. Not that they want the reader to adopt their opinions. They encourage everyone to dissect, criticize and even roll around in the diversity of human experience. This book is their way to give students the tools to do so. Although they state accurately that anthropology is more complex than rocket science, they also believe that it doesn't have to be tedious learning the skills of the subject. They introduce concepts and terminology with concrete examples. In this updated new edition, they take on 9/11, Islamic fundamentalism and the economic downturn. They don't tell the reader what happened, they show how it did and they encourage others to dig under the surface to find out the reasons for themselves. There is a companion reader for students to practice on. The only thing this book lacks is a paperback edition with a snazzy cover. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
