Summary: You cannot expect anything better!
Review: I haven't even read the entire book yet, but I can still tell how wonderful it is going to be when I have finished it. I'll probably want to read it again because it is so interesting. This study has opened up so many new understandings of unique ways of life that I cannot wait to buy more Case Studies just like this one! It's the perfect addition for anyone with a curiosity of how unique people exist in different parts of the world, specifically in South Africa. By far the most interesting and entertaining work I have read--it sure beats thoses dull books we have to read in AP English!

Summary: An outstanding and thought-provoking book.
Review: The Dobe Ju/' hoansi is a masterpiece in modern cultural anthropology. It absorbs the richness and the level of complexity of humankind. Lee opens our mind and lets us appreciate the level of diversity in our world. While Richard B. Lee delineates the differences between our advanced western society and the simple bushmen society of southern Africa,he points-out the similarities we all share as humans, without regards to race, creed, social class or gender. This book helps us understand ourselves and perhaps see the world without all the tint of biases we all carry around
