The #1 manual for biological anthropology, Soluri/Agarwal has become even more visual and hands-on in its Second Edition. New interactive exercises that emphasize the process of science and the scientific method, along with increased and improved images in the osteology chapters, give students the most impactful lab experience. And whether used standalone or packaged with a Norton textbook, Soluri/Agarwal is the most affordable manual for students, with the most robust suite of instructor and student resources.

About the Authors

K. Elizabeth Soluri received her B.A. from New York University and her M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. She has conducted anthropological field and laboratory research across the United States, including work in Valley Forge National Historical Park, Hawaii, and the central California coast. Elizabeth is especially interested in pedagogy and issues of student learning, and her dissertation research focused on redesigning, implementing, and evaluating effective teaching methods for undergraduate anthropology courses, particularly biological anthropology. Elizabeth has taught anthropology courses at several 2-year and 4-year institutions throughout the San Francisco Bay area.

Sabrina C. Agarwal is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley. She received her B.A. and M.Sc. from the University of Toronto and her Ph.D. from the same institution, working in both the Department of Anthropology and the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute of Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto. Her research interests are focused broadly upon the age, sex, and gender-related changes in bone quantity and quality, particularly the application of life course approaches to the study of bone maintenance and fragility and its application to dialogues of social identity and embodiment in bioarchaeology. She has authored several related scholarly articles and edited volumes, most recently the volume (with Bonnie Glencross) Social Bioarchaeology (Wiley-Blackwell). She is interested in the philosophies of teaching, and is actively involved in the pedagogical training of current and future college instructors.
