The standard for field work...clear...BUT get it used
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Along with "The Ethnographic Interview", this is a mainstay of field anthropologists and should be read by anyone who wants to gain a true understanding of the issues facing an Anthropologist (social). As an anthropologist working in business I have gone back to this text again and again to refocus and aid in explaining to others what I can, or actually do. "Participant Observation" is often the text which accompanies a fieldwork course and can be found cheaper at any university library (I never thought I would say that!!). I fear that many people buying this book will be sorely disappointed that it is a very thin paper back addition (for 50+ dollars). The content is good, but the new price still hard to justify. I feel that could tripl sales by dropping to 20-25... I actually found it for 18.95 used. In conclusion- its a good, if pricey book.
