This text offers an introduction to the five subdisciplines of anthropology: cultural, physical, archaeological, anthropological linguistics and applied anthropology. To reflect the role of anthropology in today's world, Professor Kottak has revised both the content and the organization of the text in a way which gives the students a balanced introduction to anthropology and its relevance. The special theme of this edition is "Preserving Cultural Diversity in the Face of Globalization". Two new chapters - "Ethnicity and Ethnic Relations" and "Cultural Exchange and Survival" - explore the significance of the demise of the Soviet Union and world-wide ethnic conflicts, as well as multiculturalism in the US and Canada, and cultural survival globally. "In-the-news" boxes describe recent discoveries on relevant topics that are attracting public attention. Many chapters, especially the chapter on race, have new sections. The following are also available: diskette Mac (0-07-834341-0); diskette 5.25 (0-07-83444-5); diskette 3.50 (0-07-834345-3); and instructor's manual (0-07-035919-9).

From the Publisher:
NEW chapter on primate evolution (Ch. 5) explores the emergence of the primates, including the latest theories on how they emerged.
NEW chapter on the emergence of cities and states (Ch. 10) expands the book's emphasis on archaeology and how this field relates to the three others that combine to make up the discipline.
NEW organization places all of the physical anthropology and archaeology chapters at the beginning of the text and follows them with the cultural and linguistic chapters'making the book a better match for the way most instructors teach the course.
NEW Student CD-ROM packaged free with every text features a chapter-by-chapter electronic study guide with audio, video, text, and web-based review tools, as well as study break materials and information on how to succeed in this course'not only a vast improvement over the Eighth Edition's CD-ROM, but also markedly more complete and educationally sound than anything else available for the course.
NEW Online Learning Center (OLC) provides web access to many of the tools on the CD-ROM as well as additional tools and invaluable instructor resources'again, a major expansion of the Eighth Edition's OLC.
A wealth of the 'Where In The World' Maps introduced in the Eighth Edition lets students view important geographical data 'up close' as well as in the broader context of the geographical area.
Helpful marginal icons tell students when more information is available on the CD-ROM, website, or elsewhere in the text.
Thematic box program''Interesting Issues', 'In the News', and the widely acclaimed 'Beyond the Classroom''capture student interest by focusing in on provocative issues, current events, and student research.
Easy-to-use end-of-chapter reviews now include an all-new numbered chapter summary which students will find indispensable as a study tool, as well as glossaries, critical thinking and internet exercises, and all-new case studies designed for use with Culture Sketches, 3/e, by Peters-Golden (ethnographic readings book available with Kottak).
NEW coverage of the scientific method, hypothesis testing, and archaeological fieldwork greatly enhance Ch. 2.
NEW'extensive revision of Ch. 15 ('Families, Kinship, and Descent') and Ch. 19 ('The Arts') as well as significant additions to Ch. 12 ('Ethnicity'), Ch. 13 ('Language and Communication'), and Ch. 18 ('Gender').
NEW chapter-opening vignettes highlight a newsworthy current event related to the chapter, drawing students in and emphasizing the relevance of anthropology in today's world.
NEW chapter-opening outlines are streamlined to make them easier for students to follow, and chapter-opening overviews have been rewritten entirely for clarity and conciseness.
