A great value!
I had to buy this book for an Anthropology class I was taking, and it was a great value. The information in the book wasn't dry and dull, like most textbooks, and the examples were current, which made it even easier to understand the material. I actually felt better relying on the book than the lectures when it came time to study for exams, and I had no problems.
