Welcome to the second edition of
Perspectives
and Open Access Anthropology!
We are delighted to bring to you this novel textbook, a collection of chapters on the essential topics in cultural anthropology. Different from other introductory textbooks, this book is an edited volume with each chapter written by a different author. Each author has written from their experiences working as an anthropologist and that personal touch makes for an accessible introduction to cultural anthropology.
An electronic version of this textbook is available free of charge at the Society for Anthropology in Community Colleges' webpage here: http: //perspectives.americananthro.org/
