"Ethnographic fieldwork is one of the most fundamental tools for anthropological study. The step-by-step exercises in Ken Guest's Cultural Anthropology Fieldwork Journal encourage students to apply the concepts they are learning in class and observe, question, and generate their own data about the places, relationships, and networks that they take for granted in everyday life: from friendships, family dynamics, and consumption habits to classrooms, places of worship, TV screens, and their own homes"--

Area studies undertaken without sound knowledge of 'the entire body of established ways of the inhabitants of the area' must be looked upon with considerable reservation. Anthropology provides the area researcher with both concept and method. The concept of culture is involved as embodying 'a series of limits to sanctioned variation, rather than a single approved mode of thought and conduct.' Aspects of culture (economic, political, social, religious, aesthetic, etc.) represent responses to geographical and biopsychic needs of man. Such aspects represent cultural universals, unities which characterize all human groups. Through a knowledge of the culture learning process we may gain psychological insights important in the action programs of area studies. Such problems as acceptance of new forms of technology, political organization, etc., may be handled by an analysis of enculturative experience. The primary methodological contribution of cultural anthropoloty to area studies lies in the relativistic approach. Hence, cultural anthropology `because of the breadth of its conceptual system and the techniques of cross-cultural analysis has come to act as the integrating element in interdisciplinary area research and teaching. R. J. Murphy.
"Introduction to Cultural Anthropology: A Global Perspective addresses the need for a holistic approach to the study of human cultures with attention to the four fields of anthropology. The Tenth Edition is organized around four themes: the diversity of human societies, the similarities that tie all humans together, the interconnections between the sciences and humanities, and the importance of reducing essentialist beliefs about different cultures and ethnic groups. With a balanced approach of both optimistic and pessimistic views on globalization, author Raymond Scupin uses both classical and contemporary research to bring students closer to theories, data, and critical thinking skills"--
