Veronica Strang's What Anthropologists Do provides a valuable panoramic view of the wide-ranging work undertaken by anthropologists. Engagingly written and useful for school and anthropology students considering their career options, it will be accessible for any reader wondering what it is that anthropologists really do. Dr Kathryn Tomlinson Strang's excellent writing is interspersed with first-person narratives by practicing anthropologists in and out of the university relating why they chose the field and how their work grew into professions for which they have great passion. The combination of scholarship and personal accounts of practitioners make this book one of a kind. Essential. M. Cedar Face, CHOICE Magazine It is a commendable exericse to gather a huge amount of information on the application of anthropology in almost every possible field in the comtemporary world and to disseminate this knowledge in simple and easy-to-understand language to its young (or not) readers.
