Being Human: An Introduction to Cultural Anthropology

The author has presented a dearth of scholarly investigation into our world of diverse cultures in an exceptionally rational and objective perspective. The materials contained therein are relevant, helpful, and easy to understand.

I a male reader and found Mari Womack an excellent reader and enjoyed a non bias look at other ethnic groups.
