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, Manic Street Preachers have become a staple of the British rock scene, with 14 albums to their name. Their journey has been marked by significant events, notably the disappearance of Richey Edwards in 1995, which added a layer of complexity to their narrative. Initially, the band seemed destined for fleeting fame, with early performances characterized by brief bursts of "hate-noise" and debut records blending art and politics through punk's Situationist lens. They once promised a multi-million-selling debut followed by a breakup, but real life intervened. The themes of history and loss are deeply embedded in their identity, alongside a mischievous spirit. Each album serves as a cultural barometer, reflecting intersections of politics, philosophy, and art, featuring a diverse array of figures from Friedrich Nietzsche to George Orwell. This book chronicles their evolution from 1988's Suicide Alley to the present, highlighting 168 songs selected by the author and Nicky Wire to illustrate the dynamic progression of the Manics' music.
