An excellent overview of cultural anthropology

Langness condenses in one small volume (181 pgs.) the major theories and writers of cultural anthropology. The book features extensive quotes from famous writings and profiles of important theorists like Lewis Henry Morgan, Edward Tylor, Bronislaw Malinowski and Marvin Harris. Graphs illustrate theoretical structures and a useful glossary is provided. A good choice for university and college level courses.
