“This book is terrific! The reader gets to travel around the world with different anthropologists, get exposed to important issues of the day, and observe how those anthropologists try to address those issues. Each chapter sheds light on how anthropologists bring their knowledge, perspective and skills together to make the world a better place.” • Elizabeth K. Briody, Purdue University
“This volume is a relevant, timely, and valuable contribution to anthropological praxis. Each case study illustrates the theoretical rigor, ethnographic expertise, and ethical principles that inform the anthropological study of human problems across regions and field sites.” • Kathryn A. Kozaitis, Georgia State University
