Antropolojiye Giriş

"Anthropologists are also storytellers. Their common denominator is that they are actually there. This approach is what distinguishes anthropology from other social sciences."

Introduction to Anthropology: Stories of Culture and Space is a very unique anthropology textbook. Rather than presenting a body of facts on cultures and concepts, he aims to have students think about anthropology through a series of stories that emerge from cultural encounters in specific times and places. The book, which describes the discipline of anthropology based on stories ranging from classical works to contemporary ethnography examples, from stories in the holy books to individual experiences, ensures that anthropology is still read as a dynamic social science today.

"Bringing together classic and current ethnographic case studies with a dynamic anthropological perspective, Introduction to Anthropology: Stories of Culture and Place is an extraordinary introductory book to anthropology on the historical development of anthropology and its current relevance. Students will enjoy the book's clarity, fluency, and the way it deals with issues, and educators will like it." "I guess they will feel comfortable with this kind of enjoyable introductory book." -Andrew Walsh, Western University

"I don't like textbooks, and especially anthropology textbooks. These books usually treat the discipline outside the liveliness of life. This book is different. It blends historical narratives with current examples and brings anthropology to life by bringing together the past and the present."
-Jan Newberry, University of Lethbridge-
