New York, NY: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Inc., 1973. Book. Fine. Cloth. Second Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. New York, NY, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Inc., 1973. Second edition. 8vo. Cloth with gilt and blue lettering on spine, illustrated with diagrams and graphs, 370 pp. Appears to be unread. Bold, urgent, essentially disturbing, often entertaining, Encounter with Anthropology is at once an introduction to anthropology, an account of a personal odyssey and a call to action. Robin Fox, one of the most powerful anthropologists of the postwar generation, ransacks his own experience to show both the range and potential of the discipline and its inherent weaknesses. But we are also shown the ruthlessly professional side of anthropology, so obsessed with field work and obsolete ideology that it is failing in its task of exploring human nature. Price clipped dust jacket, else near fine. Fine with very good dust jacket; protected by a mylar cover..
