It offers a comprehensive overview of the field in an engaging, highly readable style. Compelling examples and an emphasis on food and sustainability make the immediate relevance of anthropology clear. It's wonderful to see a textbook that reflects such thoughtful understanding of the needs of both students and instructors, and I highly recommend it."
