In the latest edition of their popular overview text, Erickson and Murphy continue to provide a comprehensive, affordable, and accessible introduction to anthropological theory from antiquity to the present.

The book has also been redesigned to be more visually and pedagogically engaging. Used on its own, or paired with the companion volume Readings for a History of Anthropological Theory, Fourth Edition, this reader offers a flexible and highly useful resource for the undergraduate anthropology classroom.

Review:
Liam D. Murphy is a Professor in the Anthropology Department at California State University, Sacramento.
Erickson and Murphy have done something very important. They have shown that a discipline dominated by fragmenting tendencies has a coherent historical core that helps make sense of the fragmentation. Highly recommended. (Robert Borofsky, Hawaii Pacific University)
The latest edition adds insightful discussions of important contemporary questions and concerns of the twenty-first century, putting anthropology out into the world of action and activism as well as academia. Further, this text provides rich support for students in the form of discussion questions, detailed glossary, and extensive lists of suggested resources. While most "history of anthropology" books tend to be either too biographical or too theoretical, Erickson and Murphy find just the right balance for students of anthropology. (Barbara E. Erickson, California State University, Fullerton)
