Summary, etc. Of late, a mounting awareness is being shown to applied aspects of anthropology. While the awareness helps to highlight the problems, it alone is no answer to the pressing issues mankind is besieged with. Inevitably, what must follow is a detailed scientific analysis to evolve relevant strategies for solution of the problems. This only would in turn, lead to sustainable development.<br/><br/>The canvas of 'anthropology of development' is indeed multi-disciplinary and trans-sectoral and the book attempts to look at 'development' and 'problems of development' by involving human biologists and social scientists. There are twenty essays, 'divided into two sections, namely: Human Biology and Developmental Anthropology and topics covered are growth, human pigmentation, mate selection, inheritance, fertility, and the social problems like justice for tribals, Nehru's views on tribal development, planning for development etc. Among the contributors are distinguished scholars like J. M. Tanner, G. A. Harrison, N. Wolanski, E. Sunderland, D.F. Roberts, R. S. Mann, S. K. Mahapatra, Bhupinder Singh etc.<br/><br/>Both stimulating and authoritative, this volume provides the reader with alternative new approaches towards highlighting and answering some of the most critical biological and social problems facing our society.
