Building on the success of previous editions, this latest edition continues to offer readers a very practical, down-to-earth approach to the methods and key issues involved in dong ethnographic research. Although not intended as a complete manual of field techniques, it does present a series of fourteen projects that represent some of the most common data collection techniques used by anthropologists. In carrying out the projects, readers learn something about how and when to apply such techniques, or variants of them, in the field situation. The authors' clear and useful guidelines are a welcome rite of passage to developing this field experience. Imaginable, practical, versatile and stimulating, this edition maintains the unique coverage of topics, illustrative approach, and succinctness that has made it a widely read book for nearly two decades. Most importantly, Field Projects in Anthropology, 3/E motivates readers to learn about other cultures and to develop new perspectives about their own. The projects are clearly written, short enough and varied enough to hold the reader's attention, and to the point. They are also versatile, allowing sufficient leeway to modify or amplify the method to suit individual research needs. Titles of related interest also available from Waveland Press: Angrosino, Doing Cultural Anthropology: Projects for Ethnographic Data Collection, Second Edition (ISBN 9781577664642); Angrosino, Exploring Oral History: A Window on the Past (ISBN 9781577665687); Angrosino, Projects in Ethnographic Research (ISBN 9781577663690); and McCurdy et al., The Cultural Experience: Ethnography in Complex Society, Second Edition (ISBN 9781577663645).

Scottish novelist, poet, and essayist Robert Louis Stevenson was a writer of power and originality, who penned such classics as Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and The Weir of Hermiston. The editor has collected in convenient form Stevenson's short fiction, including the complete New Arabian Nights and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as well as ghost stories, medieval romances, farces, horror stories, and the South Sea Tales. This volume amply illustrates Stephenson's wide range and enduring appeal.

<p>Anthropology, perhaps more than anyother discipline, illuminates the humanexperience. Anthropologists introduce us to societies in every quarter of the globe;tell us about the lifestyles, customs, andworld views of social groups other thanour own; and thus enable us to test ourtheories of humanity as well as our preconceptions of other people. It is the purposeof this book to introduce the student tothis cross-cultural approach to the studyof human values and behavior.The text also presents the story ofhuman evolution. It describes how members of the human family, and theirforebears, developed physically as theyadapted to a wide variety of environments.It also describes our cultural evolutionfrom the earliest cultures represented bycrude stone tools to those that gave birthto the ﬁrst cities.Students who look carefully at the cultures presented here will begin to discovernot only the universals but also the varieties of human experience. They willrealize that every culture chooses fromamong different alternatives and makesdifferent adaptations to resolve such questions as "How will we maintain orders?"or "How will we deal with our naturalresources?" Human values and behaviorare part of an ongoing process, a processthat probably began in Africa millions ofyears ago -when the ﬁrst members of thehuman family appeared-and continues inmodern complex societies.</p>
