Can anyone recommend a good, concise introductory text on Anthropology?

Question

I know concise and introductory are probably a little unrealistic - a series of books would do. Thanks

Answer 1

GO TO THE NEAREST COLLEGE CAMPUS BOOKSTORE AND GET THEIR INTRO TEXT ... IT SHOULD BE A GOOD PRIMER!

Answer 2

Start with "The Invention of Culture" by Roy Wagner.  It's a great intro.

Answer 3

It might be a little too simplistic, but how about "Manwatching", by Desmond Morris? It got me into anthropology as a young man.

Answer 4

Marvin Harris writes for the masses, with the exception of his "History of Anthropological Thought."  Definitely not light ready.
