Engaging introduction to cultural anthropology

Lassiter's book is easy to read and engaging. It uses a storytelling style that works very well for learning some of the important events in the history of anthropology and understanding some of the core concepts the discipline uses to study culture. Highly recommended!

Ideal for non-specialist general readers

Invitation To Anthropology by Luke Eric Lassiter (Associate Professor of Anthropology, Ball State University) is an accessibly presented introductory text to the science of cultural anthropology, written especially for students considering this field of scholarship as a part of their overall academic studies. Individual chapters address the study how human cultures are shaped, beginning with the meaning of ethnography, and then moving on to issues of adaptation throughout history, gender issues, the role of family and kinship, the role of religion, and much, much more. Ideal for non-specialist general readers with a passing curiosity on the subject, Invitation To Anthropology is confidently recommended as being a quite practical, well-researched and solid beginning manual to this diverse and fascinating field.
