In introducing basic concepts of cultural anthropology, Bodley challenges students to consider "big questions" about the nature of cultural systems, to explore relationships between growth, scale, and power, and to critically assess how commercialization, development, humanitarian concerns, and environmental issues are affecting our global future.

This compelling account of how technology and development affect indigenous peoples throughout the world provides a provocative context in which students can think about civilization and its costs.

Bodley trenchantly critiques the most pressing global mega-problems, such as unsustainable growth, resource depletion, global warming, and poverty and conflict, and shows how anthropology makes it possible to find solutions.

Eminent anthropologist John H. Bodley spotlights successful small nations as models of how to address the contemporary global problems of poverty, conflict, and environmental degradation.
