An Introduction to Holistic AnthropologyAuthor(s): John Forrest, Badger Forrest-Blincoe\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: Wiley-Blackwell\nISBN-13: 9781394265992, 978-1394265992\nSynopsis\nCombines anthropologys four subfields to explore what it means to be human \n\nIntroduction to Holistic Anthropology invites students to rediscover anthropology as Franz Boas once envisioned it a unified discipline that integrates biological, historical, linguistic, and cultural perspectives to understand human diversity and commonality. In contrast to the fragmented state of the field today, where sub-disciplines often operate in isolation, this innovative textbook emphasizes a holistic approach that encourages readers to see the connections between different aspects of human life. John Forrest and Badger Forrest-Blincoe confront the challenge of making sense of anthropologys post-everything landscape by shifting the focus from what anthropology is .
