I have used The Tapestry of Culture throughout my years of teaching introductory anthropology. This new edition retains all that was effective in previous editions, with several new topics and updated cases. I am impressed and grateful that the authors are so comprehensive and yet so concise. Key concepts, fascinating examples, and apt comparisons are used to create a vivid panorama of anthropology, and to show students just how the discipline can be so compelling and so relevant to understanding their lives and the contemporary world.
