Review Quotes: 'Remains among the most brilliant summaries of key ideas animating anthropology. In his famously accessible writing style, Eriksen introduces fundamental questions that shape human life, and provides an overview of the discipline's contribution to the pressing issues of our times. The new version will not only appeal to beginners, but is also a must-read for established professionals.'
