What are the consequences for health and wellbeing of ongoing environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity and climate change?. While bioethics is consumed with the promises and perils of new medical discoveries, emerging biotechnologies, and unprecedented social change, one fundamental issue receives scant attention: What does it mean to be human? This anthology, under the auspices of Georgetown\'s Center for Clinical Biothics, attempts to grapple with that question. Contributors include well-known authors in the field of religion and medicine, viz., Edmund Pellegrino, Lisa Cahill, Margaret Mohrmann, Daniel Sulmasy, Richard Zaner, Christine Gudorf, and Kevin FitzGerald. The book contains five parts, with emphases on various themes of being human: dignity, integrity, vulnerability, relationality, and so forth. Another section focuses on how a theological anthropology--a theological understanding of what it means to be a human being---can help us better understand healthcare, social policy, and science. As Dell\'Oro writes, the book offers a singular contribution to the interplay of religion, medicine, and moral anthropology in the field of bioethics as it struggles to articulate the conditions that define human flourishing in the age of science and technology. The quality of the essays are high, though there is some variance in sophistication. Dell\'Oro\'s opening chapter, for instance, is rewarding but highly technical Kay Toombs\' chapter on her own disability is equally effective but much more accessible to general readers. Attention has been paid to integration and coherence. There is a Catholic influence on the book, though not all contributors--viz., Mohrmann, Zaner, Tombs, Holland--are remotely Catholic. Anthropology of Religion: The Basics is an accessible and engaging introductory text organized around key issues that all anthropologists of religion face. This book uses a wide range of historical and ethnographic examples to address not only what is studied by anthropologists of religion, but how such studies are approached. It addresses questions such as:How do human agents interact with gods and spirits?What is the nature of doing religious ethnography?Can the immaterial be embodied in the body, language and material objects?What is the role of ritual, time, and place in religion?Why is charisma important for religious movements?How do global processes interact with religions?With international case studies from a range of religious traditions, suggestions for further reading, and inventive reflection boxes, Anthropology of Religion: The Basics is an essential read for students approaching the subject for the first time.
