Overview
Anthropology takes a holistic approach to the biological, social and cultural aspects of human life. Authors Carol Ember, Melvin Ember and Peter Peregrine explain not only what humans are and were like, but also how they got to be that way, in all their variety. This comparative exploration of human cultures across space and time provides comparative, cross-cultural insights based on an evidence-based approach.
The 15th Edition offers updated research to ensure an up-to-date learning experience. Updated Perspectives on Diversity boxes shed light on issues pertaining to gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation, both in anthropology and everyday life. And updated Global Issues boxes explore worldwide social problems.

Yes, the Study & Exam Prep Pack's feature is Channels, which can be purchased separately at any time. Simply go to Channels on the Pearson+ site and choose monthly, quarterly, or annual access, separate from your eTextbook subscription. Still deciding? Watch the first six videos free and buy it if you love it (we know you'll love it!).
Currently, they are the exact same offering. 'Study & Exam Prep Pack' is what we call 'Channels' when it is bundled with an eTextbook or bundled with MyLab & Mastering courseware. When purchased on its own, you will see it called Channels, still the same study & exam prep help you need.
