The New Invitation to Anthropology

Luke Eric Lassiter is professor of humanities and anthropology and Director of the Graduate Humanities Program at Marshall University. Eric I. Karchmer is a medical anthropologist, doctor of Chinese medicine, and a founding partner of the Chinese herbal medicine company DAO Labs. Dana E. Powell is associate professor of anthropology at Appalachian State University.

Every revised edition of Invitation to Anthropology recasts an excellent textbook into an even better resource. This new edition preserves the readable style of the past four versions while adding updated content, provocative discussion questions, and excellent teaching resources. Many of the text boxes, graphics, and other additions could easily serve as the basis for entire class periods of instruction to enhance students' understanding of each chapter. -- Gregory Hansen, Arkansas State University
