Reader Reviews
This review is from: Invitation to Anthropology (Paperback)
Lassiter's book is easy to read and engaging. It uses a storytelling style that works very well for learning some of the important events in the history of anthropology and understanding some of the core concepts the discipline uses to study culture. Highly recommended!
