This up-to-date, engaging, accessible applied anthropology textbook presents a thorough yet balanced introduction to the field while specifically addressing a concern of immediate and practical importance to college students—choosing a career field.

Applied Anthropology: A Career-Oriented Approach effectively shows how anthropological ideas and techniques can be used in the real world. One reviewer describes this new text as “an unusually broad and very welcome breadth of perspective on applied anthropology…it will become the text of choice for both undergraduate and graduate courses in applied anthropology throughout the country. Gwynne covers all important topics thoroughly, clearly, and with illustrative details that bring core concepts alive for the reader.”

  • Consistently emphasizes the diversity and rewards of the various career paths open to anthropology students. Short biographies of applied anthropologists whose careers have been especially interesting and meaningful appear throughout the text in “Applied Anthropologists at Work” boxes.
  • Describes how applied anthropologists contribute to solving specific social problems domestically and internationally, emphasizing international job possibilities as strongly as domestic ones.
  • Offers two “Review” appendices, entitled “Anthropology's Four Traditional Fields” and “Basic Anthropological Theories and Methods,” for instructors whose students require a review of the basics of anthropology.
  • Includes appendices outlining career possibilities in applied physical anthropology and cultural resources management (applied archaeology) for professors who prefer to include these applied subfields in their courses.
  • Discussion questions that challenge students to think in new and creative ways appear in “Food for Thought” boxes throughout the text.
  • The final chapter, “Finding a Job,” offers practical advice and information for students, covering topics such as assessing and improving skills, joining appropriate career-enhancing organizations, finding internships, identifying and applying for relevant graduate programs, and preparing for job interviews.
  • A Career Resources Booklet, available with the text, contains a comprehensive listing of available resources for 20 different career fields, including suggested readings, journals, organizations with contact information, academic programs at both Master's and Ph.D. levels, videos with ordering information, and additional Web sites.
  • An Anthropology Career Resources Booklet, available with the text, contains a comprehensive listing of available resources for various different career fields, including suggested readings, journals, organizations with contact information, academic programs at both Master's and Ph.D. levels, and additional Web sites.

Each chapter begins with an “Introduction” and ends with a “Conclusion.”
