	An Anthropologist On Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales By: Oliver Sacks. To these seven narratives of neurological disorder Dr. Sacks brings the same humanity, poetic observation, and infectious sense of wonder that are apparent in his bestsellers Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. These men, women, and one extraordinary child emerge as brilliantly adaptive personalities, whose conditions have not so much debilitated them as ushered them into another reality. Book Title: An Anthropologist On Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales. Author: Oliver Sacks. Publisher: Vintage. Published: 1996-02-13. ASIN: 0679756973. ISBN: 0679756973. EAN: 9780679756972.

	The Innocent Anthropologist : Notes from a Mud Hut By: Nigel Barley. When British anthropologist Nigel Barley set up home among the Dowayo people in northern Cameroon, he knew how fieldwork should be conducted. Unfortunately, nobody had told the Dowayo. His compulsive, witty account of first fieldwork offers a wonderfully inspiring introduction to the real life of a cultural anthropologist doing research in a Third World area. Both touching and hilarious, Barley’s unconventional story—in which he survived boredom, hostility, disaster, and illness—addresses many critical issues in anthropology and in fieldwork. Book Title: The Innocent Anthropologist : Notes from a Mud Hut. Author: Nigel Barley. Publisher: Waveland Pr Inc. Published: 2000-09-01. ASIN: 1577661567. ISBN: 1577661567. EAN: 9781577661566.

	Dead Men Do Tell Tales: The Strange and Fascinating Cases of a Forensic Anthropologist By: William R. Maples, Michael Browning. From a skeleton, a skull, a mere fragment of burnt thighbone, Dr. William Maples can deduce the age, gender, and ethnicity of a murder victim, the manner in which the person was dispatched, and, ultimately, the identity of the killer.  In Dead Men Do Tell Tales, Dr. Maples revisits his strangest, most interesting, and most horrific investigations, from the baffling cases of conquistador Francisco Pizarro and Vietnam MIAs to the mysterious deaths of President Zachary Taylor and the family of Czar Nicholas II.

	The Bone Lady: Life as a Forensic Anthropologist By: Mary H. Manheim. When a skeleton is all that's left to tell the story of a crime, Mary H. Manhein, otherwise known as "the bone lady", is called in. For almost two decades, Manhein has used her expertise in forensic pathology to help law enforcement agents -- locally, nationally, and internationally -- solve their most perplexing mysteries. She shares the extraordinary details of the often high-profile cases on which she works, and the science underlying her analyses. Here are Civil War skeletons, cases of alleged voodoo and witchcraft, crimes of political intrigue, and the before-and-after of facial reconstruction. Written with the compassion and humor of a born storyteller, The Bone Lady is an unforgettable glimpse into the lab where one scientist works to reveal the human stories behind the remains.

	Going Abroad: How to Travel Like an Anthropologist By: Rob Gordon. Increasingly students from the affluent countries are going abroad as part of their educational experience. Although students see these experiences as invaluable and believe that they have learned a lot, the anthropological literature suggests the opposite; that travel abroad has a greater impact on the hosts than on the visitors and that indeed travel abroad, far from leading to students becoming more open-minded or learning about the other, can reinforce their stereotypes. What student-travelers claim to have learned turns out, on reflection, to be lessons about themselves not about the sights and people they encountered but how they survived. This short book is based on the assumption that travel only broadens the mind when one is predisposed to let it. It seeks to inculcate that state of mind that is amenable to learning from others. It is an anthropology of travel and the use of anthropology in travel. It combines philosophy of travel and analysis of travel with the nitty-gritty of how to get the most out of travel. It should be read by potential travelers prior to going abroad and then left at home. Perhaps the key lesson is to inculcate a sense of humility and how to grow through travel. Anthropologists have made a profession of going abroad. What lessons can one glean from the practice of anthropological fieldwork to make student or extended budget travel abroad a deeper learning experience? Book Title: Going Abroad: How to Travel Like an Anthropologist. Author: Rob Gordon. Publisher: Paradigm Publishers. Published: 2010-11-30. ASIN: 1594517711. ISBN: 1594517711. EAN: 9781594517716.

	Thinking Like an Anthropologist: A Practical Introduction to Cultural Anthropology By: John Omohundro. This exciting new text teases out the common core of the cultural anthropological way of thinking, makes it explicit in a set of eleven questions, and uses those questions to enhance learning. Each question receives treatment in a brief chapter, accompanied by several exercises and classroom demonstrations. The textbook is intended to be accompanied by—and applied to—a reader, a few ethnographies, or a monograph with topical focus such as language, globalization, technology, art, or gender. The eleven questions that organize the text can be applied singly and cumulatively to address the cultures presented in the ethnographies or case studies chosen by each instructor. A comprehensive guide written by John Omohundro assists instructors who adopt this novel approach and suggests numerous examples of ethnographies and readers that would be effective companions for the text. Book Title: Thinking Like an Anthropologist: A Practical Introduction to Cultural Anthropology. Author: John Omohundro. Publisher: McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages.

	Coming of Age in Second Life: An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human By: Tom Boellstorff. Millions of people around the world today spend portions of their lives in online virtual worlds. Second Life is one of the largest of these virtual worlds. The residents of Second Life create communities, buy property and build homes, go to concerts, meet in bars, attend weddings and religious services, buy and sell virtual goods and services, find friendship, fall in love--the possibilities are endless, and all encountered through a computer screen. Coming of Age in Second Life is the first book of anthropology to examine this thriving alternate universe. Tom Boellstorff conducted more than two years of fieldwork in Second Life, living among and observing its residents in exactly the same way anthropologists traditionally have done to learn about cultures and social groups in the so-called real world. He conducted his research as the avatar "Tom Bukowski," and applied the rigorous methods of anthropology to study many facets of this new frontier of human life, including issues of gender, race, sex, money, conflict and antisocial behavior, the construction of place and time, and the interplay of self and group. Coming of Age in Second Life shows how virtual worlds can change ideas about identity and society. Bringing anthropology into territory never before studied, this book demonstrates that in some ways humans have always been virtual, and that virtual worlds in all their rich complexity build upon a human capacity for culture that is as old as humanity itself. Book Title: Coming of Age in Second Life: An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human. Author: Tom Boellstorff. Publisher: Princeton University Press. Published: 2010-03-22. ASIN: 0691146276.

	Wisdom from a Rainforest: The Spiritual Journey of an Anthropologist By: Stuart A. Schlegel. In the early sixties, Stuart Schlegel went into a remote rainforest on the Philippine island of Mindanao as an anthropologist in search of material. What he found was a group of people whose tolerant, gentle way of life would transform his own values and beliefs profoundly. Wisdom from a Rainforest is Schlegel's testament to his experience and to the Teduray people of Figel, from whom he learned such vital, lasting lessons. Schlegel's lively ethnography of the Teduray portrays how their behavior and traditions revolved around kindness and compassion for humans, animals, and the spirits sharing their worlds. Schlegel describes the Teduray's remarkable legal system and their strong story-telling tradition, their elaborate cosmology, and their ritual celebrations. At the same time, Schlegel recounts his own transformation--how his worldview as a member of an advanced, civilized society was shaken to the core by a so-called primitive people. He begins to realize how culturally determined his own values are and to see with great clarity how much the Teduray can teach him about gender equality, tolerance for difference, generosity, and cooperation. By turns funny, tender, and gripping, Wisdom from a Rainforest honors the Teduray's legacy and helps us see how much we can learn from a way of life so different from our own. Book Title: Wisdom from a Rainforest: The Spiritual Journey of an Anthropologist. Author: Stuart A. Schlegel. Publisher: University of Georgia Press. Published: 2003-09-01. ASIN: 0820324914.

	Stranger and Friend: The Way of an Anthropologist By: Hortense Powdermaker. "The book is absolutely excellent . . . a unique fascinating account of the work of one of our leading anthropologists." —Colin M. Turnbull "Her book is all about people. . . . The publishers say of it that 'field work in its personal and objective dimension is placed under a kind of microscope. The book is a must for all field workers in the social sciences.' That claim does not seem to me excessive." —Edmund Leach, New York Review of Books "There are few books which are as informative of what it means to be a field-worker in social science as Hortense Powdermaker's Stranger and Friend. This book should be must reading both for scholars and students." —Seymour M. Lipset, Harvard University "Stranger and Friend is a passionate plea for anthropology as a human discipline as well as a science, as an all-engrossing life experience as well as a profession, and increasingly as a subject in the curriculum of graduate and undergraduate studies." —Margaret Mead, American Museum of Natural History "This is just the kind of book needed in anthropology today. It tells objectively, but in warm and human terms, how important research was done. It contributes to methodology and to the history of the science of anthropology." —Charles Wagley, Columbia University "This is an essential book for anyone interested in the problems of an anthropologist at work." —Cornelius Osgood, Peabody Museum of Natural History Book Title: Stranger and Friend: The Way of an Anthropologist. Author: Hortense Powdermaker. Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company. Published: 1967-04-17. ASIN: 0393004104. ISBN: 0393004104. EAN: 9780393004106. Binding: Paperback. Price: $16.95

	What Would Alien Anthropologists Think of Us? - Wade Davis Complete video at: fora.tv Wade Davis, author of The Wayfinders: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World, criticizes the United States for viewing technological prowess as the only sign of progress. "Climate change should finally teach us that we're not the paragon of humanity's potential," he says. ----- What does it mean to be human and alive? The thousands of different cultures and languages on Earth have compellingly different answers to that question. "We are a wildly imaginative and creative species," declares Wade Davis, and then proves it with his accounts and photographs of humanity plumbing the soul of culture, of psyche, and of landscape. The threat to cultures is often ideological, Davis notes, such as when Mao whispered in the ear of the Dalai Lama that "all religion is poison," set about destroying Tibetan culture. The genius of culture is the ability to survive in impossible conditions, Davis concludes. We cannot afford to lose any of that variety of skills, because we are not only impoverished without it, we are vulnerable without it. - The Long Now Foundation Edmund Wade Davis (born December 14, 1953) is a noted Canadian anthropologist, ethnobotanist, author and photographer whose work has focused on worldwide indigenous cultures, especially in North and South America and particularly involving the traditional uses and beliefs associated with psychoactive plants.
