Handbook of methods in cultural anthropology

Anthropologists, sociologists, and other specialists draw upon both the scientific and humanistic elements of anthropology to define and describe fieldwork in practice. This book examines methods of investigation such as traditional participant observation, historical research methods, surveys, linguistic methods, comparative research, and social intervention, as well as the ethics, epistemology, and presentation of results involved in anthropological studies.
