Editorial Reviews

Praise for the previous edition: What makes this book so useful for students and teachers of undergraduate and graduate classes on anthropological research-is that it is a careful, reasoned attempt to put something back, after the certainties have beenremoved from under students' feet....

Critique Of Anthropology

A timely, thoughtful and civil intervention in the disputes that dominate our fractious discipline.

Marvin Harris

Kuznar makes a strident plea for putting some semblance of science back into anthropology….An obvious acquisition for college and university libraries where there are broad programs in humanities and the sciences.

Choice Reviews

Postmodernists and moralists will not like this book, but they will have difficulty dismissing Kuznar's critique. This books brings together a historical survey with contemporary arguments about science, demonstrating that most of the current anti-science arguments have been answered at length by philosophers of science.

Roy D'Andrade
