The International Encyclopedia of Anthropology is an extensive reference resource for the field of anthropology and interrelated areas, providing an overview of the concepts, research, and techniques that together define the discipline.

Entries range from concise summaries to longer writings, presenting the reader with key topics, including ecology, human evolution, gender, health, language and education, kinship, politics, and power, as well as biographical entries of many of the world’s most influential founding anthropologists.

The encyclopedia is organized alphabetically and by topic, and written for both the specialist and the general reader.
