Covers the character and nature of culture and social behavior as developed by anthropologists through the study of people. Research-based, this mainstream text emphasizes the materialistic approach to the study of cultural diversity in humanity and shows why an appreciation and tolerance of cultural differences is critical in the modern world. Major changes include: a greater emphasis on applied anthropology such as population growth and world hunger (Ch. 19); changes in the political status of various world regions such as new nations rising from the break-up of the USSR (Chs. 17 & 18) and recent conflicts in Eastern Europe (Ch. 18).
