Beskrivning

The latest edition of a major literature guide provides citations and informative annotations on a wide range of reference sources, including manuals, bibliographies, indexes, databases, literature surveys and reviews, dissertations, book reviews, conference proceedings, awards, and employment and grant sources. The organization closely follows that of the 1st edition, with some much-needed additions relating to online resources and new areas of interest within the field (such as forensic anthropology, environmental anthropology, and Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, and Transgendered Anthropology). Separate sections focus on individual subfields, as well as emerging concerns such as ethical issues in cultural heritage preservation. For academic and research library collections, as well as faculty members in anthropology, area studies, and intercultural studies.

Recensioner i media

"This second edition provides annotated citations to an updated range of expertly selected print and Internet sources for research in anthropology. A well-written introduction clearly explains the literature of anthropology. Jacoby and Kibbee offer annotations for seminal and current reference works in social sciences, and core reference titles for the field of anthropology and subfields of archaeology, biological anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. The strength of the book, however, is its coverage of research areas in cultural anthropology, including medical, cognitive, economic, evolutionary, educational, and political anthropology, and ethnohistory; and other, newer subdisciplines such as environmental and global anthropology, and sexuality, along with related fields including ethnomusicology, folklore, and dance. Useful annotations encompass encyclopedias, dictionaries, bibliographies, manuals, style guides, print and Internet indexes, Web sites, literature surveys and reviews, and dissertations. . . . Highly recommended. All levels." - Choice
