Anthropology / William A. Haviland

Table of contents, list of maps, analytical index, brief contents and bibliography

This text is designed for college-level introductory anthropology courses. It tarts the basic divisions of anthropology-physical a cultural anthropology, including ethnology, linguistics, and prehistoric archeology-and presents the concepts added terminology germane to each. The aim of the text to give the student a through introduction to the principles and processes of anthropology. Because it draws from the research and ideas of a number of schools of anthropological thought, the student will be exposed to a mix of such approaches as evolutionism, historical particularism, diffusions, functionalism, and others. This inclusiveness reflects my conviction that, while each of these approaches has important things to say about human behavior, to restrict oneself to a particular approach is to cut oneself to a particular approach is to cut oneself off important insight.
