It helps them find out more about the nature of work that anthropologists do.<br/><br/>Social & Cultural Anthropology: A Very Short Introduction is an introduction into the world of anthropology. Its main purpose is to help a person with no background on anthropology to understand the subject. It combines the main methodologies and principles of anthropology with a large number of illustrations and examples of anthropologists. The book begins by explaining the most important contributions anthropology has given to modern thinking. As the book progresses, it shows readers the way culture is viewed upon as a distinctively human characteristic. It discusses how the doctrine of anthropology is based on cultural relativism, its ethnography and methodology for field work. The book progresses to examine how humanity’s understanding of the various facets of society has been advanced by anthropology.<br/><br/>Using examples from past social structures that existed in every society, this book tries to make itself easily understood. The book uses fairly simple language while explaining the various concepts of anthropology. It explains how society has changed and how human thinking has evolved. The book uses real-life examples to explain the various concepts which are put forward. The authors use their own fieldwork to explain concepts, making even the toughest of concepts understandable
