When Napoleon Chagnon arrived in Venezuela’s Amazon region in 1964 to study the Yanomamö Indians, he expected to find Rousseau’s “noble savage.” Instead he found a shockingly violent society. He spent years living among the Yanomamö, observing their often tyrannical headmen, learning to survive under primitive and dangerous conditions. When he published his observations, a firestorm of controversy swept through anthropology departments. Chagnon was vilified by other anthropologists, condemned by his professional association (which subsequently rescinded its reprimand), and ultimately forced to give up his fieldwork. Throughout his ordeal, he never wavered in his defense of science. In 2012 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. What do anthropologists do? Why do their insights matter? How can they add new perspectives on cultural concerns and socio-political issues?In this book, prominent anthropologists address these questions. Each author:- explores the social value and practical application of anthropology, while sharing their career path stories - provides the reader with five tips about what anthropologists should, or should not, do in their practice- shares the kinds of skills and knowledge anthropologists should obtain to help change the world for the better.The authors provide specific suggestions to anthropologists and the public at large on practical ways to use anthropology to change the world for the better, addressing topics as varied as sustainability, organizational change, social entrepreneurship, and development.Devised for students, this edited collection offers an accessible guide to practical anthropological work beyond the academy. Mixing chronological narrative with a full ecological portrait, anthropologists Helen C. Rountree and Thomas E. Davidson have reconstructed the culture and history of Virginia\'s and Maryland\'s Eastern Shore Indians from A.D. 800 until the last tribes disbanded in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In Eastern Shore Indians of Virginia and Maryland, the reader learns not only the characteristics and traditions of each tribe but also the plants and animals that were native to each ecozone and were essential components of the Indians\' habitat and diet. Rountree and Davidson convincingly demonstrate how these geographical and ecological differences translated into cultural differences among the tribes and shaped their everyday lives. Making use of exceptional primary documents, including county records dating as far back as 1632, Rountree and Davidson have produced a thorough and fascinating glimpse of the lives of Eastern Shore Indians that will enlighten general readers and scholars alike.
