Reviews
A timely update that provides rich and in-depth overviews on contemporary methods in cultural anthropology. Each chapter is written by experts in the particular methodology, making this second edition an excellent companion to Bernard's Research Methods in Anthropology., I challenge any anthropologist to read this expanded second edition and not contemplate adding one of the described methods to his or her own toolbox. The chapters invite us to reflect upon the nuances of our methodological choices and encourage us to move beyond a polarizing divide between quantitative and qualitative research--to embrace the no-longer-stranger notion that both may contribute to the anthropologists' craft. This new edition is easily classified as essential reading., Anthropological methods have come a long way since Malinowski arrived to the Trobriands and watched as the dinghy sailed out of sight. The chapters here offer guidance on methodological choices, moving beyond a polarizing divide between quantitative and qualitative research to embrace the no longer strange notion that both may contribute to the anthropologists' craft. Easily essential reading, researchers and teachers alike will find themselves reaching for this new and expanded edition. The tone of the chapters invite us to reflect upon the nuances of our most familiar methods and consider adding less familiar ones so that we might devise the best possible pathways of insight into people's worlds, regardless of whether they live in geographic or virtual communities, or whether our interest is in addressing a real world problem or exploring personal experiences. I challenge any anthropologist to read this and not contemplate adding one of the described methods to his or her own toolbox., This significantly expanded second edition is bound to become the quintessential reference book for every anthropologist engaged in active field research. With sixteen updated chapters and eight entirely new ones--on topics ranging from online ethnography to GIS to public anthropology--this volume is a treasure trove of sound methodological strategies imparted by leading figures in the discipline. A must-read for everyone from graduate students headed for the field to established academics and applied anthropologists., Editors Bernard and Gravlee focus on the core aspect: fieldwork. The second edition of this handbook is organized into four parts: 'Perspectives,' 'Acquiring Information,' 'Interpreting Information,' and 'Applying and Presenting Information. The 23 chapters were each separately authored; some are by well-known anthropologists and others by those not so well-known. All have lengthy reference lists. . . .Nevertheless, the excellent essays certainly will be of use to experts wanting to expand their repertoire and to novices. Contributors cover topics ranging from epistemology to survey methods and from the classic participant observation to contemporary fieldwork in online environments. This highly readable collection will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students alike and be a useful addition to college and university libraries collecting in the social sciences. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty.

Received the magazine as pictured and described! It was a bit delayed due to a bad winter storm in my area, however the seller was quick to communicate back with me when it hadn't arrived on time. They sent me the tracking number to keep an eye out for it and even offered to inquire into the package for me if it didn't arrive by a certain date. Overall a great experience by the seller :)
