Anthropology is the organized study of what makes humans human. It takes an objective step back to view homo sapiens as a species and ask questions like: Given our common characteristics, why aren't all of us exactly the same? Why do people across the world have variable skin and hair color and so many inventive ways to say hello? And how can knowing the reasons behind our differences--as well as our similarities--teach us useful lessons for the future? The updated edition of Anthropology For Dummies gives you a panoramic view of the fascinating fieldwork and theory that seeks to answer these questions--and helps you view the human world through impartial, anthropological eyes. Keeping the jargon to a minimum, Anthropology For Dummies explores the four main subdivisions of the discipline, from the adventurous Indiana Jones territory of archeology and the hands-on biological insights provided by our physical nature to the studious book-cracking brainwork of cultural and linguistic investigation. Along the way, you'll journey deep into our prehistory where we begin to differentiate ourselves from our primate relatives--and then fast forward into the possibilities of centuries yet to come

The Music of Manic Street Preachers
Formed in 1988, and with 14 albums to their name, Manic Street Preachers are an established feature of British rock landscape. So much so, that it's easy to mistake the band's ongoing presence as an inevitability. Long before their narrative's traumatic fissure - the disappearance of Richey Edwards in February 1995 - the Manics seemed destined for merely ephemeral notoriety: early gigs were 20-minute exercises in "hate-noise", while their first records scrambled art and politics with punk's Situationist rhetoric, culminating in the rock'n'roll culturecide of Motown Junk ("Stops your brain thinking for 168 seconds"). They promised to make a multi-million-selling debut album and then break up. Inevitably, real life got in the way. History and loss are intrinsic to the Manics' psyche. So too an oft-overlooked sense of mischief. Each record has been a real-time cultural barometer, an intersection point for politics, philosophy, art, even sport, and featuring a diverse cast of characters: Friedrich Nietzsche, John Lennon, Sylvia Plath, Shaun Ryder, Stephen Hawking, Michel Foucault, Jackie Collins, Neil Kinnock, Yves Klein, Harold Pinter, Richard Nixon, Noam Chomsky, Paul Robeson, Giant Haystacks, Picasso, Steve Ovett, George Orwell and many, many more... plus, of course, the Manic Street Preachers themselves. This book will tell the whole story, from 1988's Suicide Alley to the present day, via 168 songs chosen by the author and Nicky Wire to illuminate the dynamic evolution of the Manics' music.
