[Culture_aglist] new intro book just out available at AAA meetings

[Paul Durrenburger]

For novice readers who may not regard anthropology as relevant to today's 
headlines this book is a break-through. Durrenberger and Erem show how 
seeing the world through an anthropological lens enhances our understanding 
of such current topics as globalization, the new economy, jobs and careers, 
world trade, the condition of inner cities, and racial and ethnic 
relations. It provides the best application available of anthropological 
research to America's current public issues and concerns. Written in lively 
prose the book is vital to any social science collection.
