Cultural Anthropology

Cultural Anthropology, 8th Edition, by Barbara D. Miller provides a balanced introduction to the study of world cultures. Published by Pearson, the textbook explores how diverse human societies interact and change within an interconnected world.

Designed for introductory cultural anthropology courses, the volume demonstrates how anthropological frameworks and perspectives help students understand contemporary global affairs. The text encourages readers to analyze unfamiliar cultural traditions while critically evaluating the customs and assumptions of their own societies.

To connect academic concepts with current global issues, this eighth edition incorporates updated research, statistical data, and examples of anthropology in action, including coverage of the Ebola epidemic.
