What do anthropologists do? Why do their insights matter? How can they add new perspectives on cultural concerns and socio-political issues?

In this book, prominent anthropologists address these questions. Each author:

� explores the social value and practical application of anthropology, while sharing their career path stories
� provides the reader with five tips about what anthropologists should, or should not, do in their practice
� shares the kinds of skills and knowledge anthropologists should obtain to help change the world for the better.

The authors provide specific suggestions to anthropologists and the public at large on practical ways to use anthropology to change the world for the better, addressing topics as varied as sustainability, organizational change, social entrepreneurship, and development.

Devised for students, this edited collection offers an accessible guide to practical anthropological work beyond the academy.
