Dictionary of Anthropology, Barfield (1997)
Rebuttal
Don't bother
The Dictionary of Anghropology Thismorning I discovered that something is missing in this book. Alldictionaries I have alway started from A to Z. Whatever happened to thisbook, by accident or by design, this dictionary doesn't have any wordstarted with letter X, Y and Z. It has only words from A to W which remindsme to a brand name of Rootbeer A&W. I checked the page number on thelast word of letter W. It is page 501. Then on page 502 it starts withBibliografy and ends on page 626, a long 124 pages of A to Z author'sname. My question to the Editor Thomas Barfield and/or the PublisherBlackwell Publisher, Ltd is what's happening to the words starting with X,Y, and Z? ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description The book evolves sequentially, beginning with a discussion of all things forensic and then continuing to detail the broad field of anthropology, the process of death, decomposition, and skeletonization. Methods of identifying the human skeleton, DNA analysis, and the reconstruction of identity are highlighted. The final chapter deals with the modern application of forensic anthropology to human rights missions. Customer Reviews (8)

Editorial Review Product Description For undergraduate introductory physical anthropology, biological anthropology or human origins courses. Biological Anthropology, 2/e continues to build upon the strength and success of the first edition by integrating the foundations and the most current innovations in the field from the ground up. Over the past twenty years, this field has rapidly evolved from the study of physical anthropology into biological anthropology, incorporating the evolutionary biology of humankind based on information from the fossil record and the human skeleton, genetics of individuals and of populations, our primate relatives, human adaptation, and human behavior. The second edition of Biological Anthropology combines the most up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of the foundations of the field with modern innovations and discoveries. Customer Reviews (2)

55. Beyond the Body Proper: Reading the Anthropology of Material Life (Body, Commodity, Text) | |

Editorial Review Product Description Beyond the Body Proper includes nine sections conceptually organized around themes such as everyday life, sex and gender, and science. Each section is preceded by interpretive commentary by the volume’s editors. Within the collection are articles and book excerpts focused on bodies using tools and participating in rituals, on bodies walking and eating, and on the female circumcision controversy, as well as pieces on medical classifications, spirit possession, the commodification of body parts, in vitro fertilization, and an artist/anatomist’s “plastination” of cadavers for display. Materialist, phenomenological, and feminist perspectives on embodiment appear along with writings on interpretations of pain and the changing meanings of sexual intercourse. Essays on these topics and many others challenge Eurocentric assumptions about the body as they speak to each other and to the most influential contemporary trends in the human sciences. With selections by: Henry Abelove, Walter Benjamin, Janice Boddy, John Boswell, Judith Butler, Caroline Walker Bynum, Stuart Cosgrove, Michel de Certeau, Gilles Deleuze, Alice Domurat Dreger, Barbara Duden, Friedrich Engels, E.

Learn ethnography by doing ethnography. The book is deliberately low on theory, and approaches ethnography from a more postmodern point of view, encouraging students to be reflexive and to write of their personal experiences and emotions.At the same time, the author states the importance of separating data from analysis, to help the ethnographer be more objective.The analysis of the data, where the ethnographer interprets the motives and emotions, is important but separate.He also gives further readings at the end of each assignment, knowing that this book does not go into much depth in either theory or practice. The whole purpose of this book is teach ethnography by doing ethnography.The first three assignments are short and are designed to get the inexperienced student started in ethnography.The project descriptions are only about two pages long, and then each assignment has several example papers.The first is the map and description of a block, the second is a retrospective assignment on private language, and the third assignment is to study body language.All of these assignments help to sharpen the eye of the student in areas where they need to be observant. The final two assignments are much bigger.One is a study on ritual, and the final assignment Kutsche calls "The Big Ethnography."This project is designed to last about a month.The final 100 pages of the book are devoted to eight exemplary student ethnographies. Although the book was enjoyable to read, its strength really would come from actually doing the assignments, and if a class were not willing to do so, I think another book would be more appropriate.It is designed for an introductory class in ethnography, and is not written to be a reference for a field ethnographer, or for an advanced ethnography student. In general I found the book somewhat refreshing in that it had short descriptions of the assignments, and then lots of case studies.For an introductory class in ethnography, it could be a good book if the professor was willing to have the students go through the assignments.But I would recommend the professor read the book through first before deciding to use it as a project manual. ...
