Introduction to Physical Anthropology, Media Edition (with Basic Genetics for Anthropology CD-ROM and InfoTrac)
"Over the years I have looked at many other texts but they do not cover the major subject areas as well as this text. The style is engaging and the reading level is within the range of nearly all students. This book is a great instructional tool.""A great strength of this text is the "Issue" section--a fabulous reminder of the value of a college education.""Overall, this is a great text. The chapters build upon one another and students get a good dose of both historical approaches as well as current multidisciplinary approaches. The text and accompanying CD-ROM use wonderful photos and diagrams. The layout is very appealing, and some chapters are just chock full of great photos.""The text is well-written. I will use it for a class with a mix of students, some having no background. The visuals in the text are excellent.""Since using Richard Robbins Introduction to Cultural Anthropology: A Problem Based Approach, my intro course has been transformed and reinvigorated. My students’ enthusiasm for anthropology has increased dramatically with my integration of the experiential exercises in the book and the Handbook for Active Learning. The entire approach taken in the book has energized my students; they can now really appreciate the relevance anthropology has for living in an increasingly global world. And their interest in the anthropology minor has increased as well. I’ve found my book—no need to look further."
