Most essays are reprinted without abridgement. Those that are shortened include notes explaining how much and what was removed.What sets McGee and Warms' text apart from other readers are its introductions, footnotes, and index. Detailed introductions examine critical developments in theory, introduce key people and discuss historical and personal influences on theorists. In extensive footnotes the editors provide commentary that puts the writing in historical and cultural context, defines unusual terms, translates non-English phrases, identifies references to other scholars and their works, and offers paraphrases and summaries of complex passages. The notes identify and provide background information on hundreds of scholars and concepts important in the development of anthropology. This makes the essays more accessible to both students and current day scholars. An extensive index makes this book an invaluable reference tool.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
