.,."A necessary purchase for all collections concerned with anthropology. Williams provides summary descriptions of the topical coverage of the journals, in addition to the usual directory information (e.g., editor, publisher, frequency). From this information, a prospective author can determine whether a manuscript will be appropriate for a periodical. Williams also gives printed and online indexing and abstracting detailed for each title--extraordinarily helpful for a discipline with such broad concerns. Four of the five chapters parallel the common subdivisions of anthropology (archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistics, and physical anthropology), and the fifth covers appropriate indexes and abstracts. There are title, subject, and geographic indexes. This analytic guide could have covered more titles but no one could argue with the appropriateness of the ones it does cover or the accuracy or helpfulness of the information it summarizes.

If you are looking for the author, John Williams, you won't find him in the office writing. He may be trekking a nearby hiking trail or floating in his canoe or kayak on one of the beautiful lakes that surround his Appalachian foothills home. If not there, jump on your bicycle and find a nearby trail, he may be wrapped around a tree somewhere and in need of your help. Teddi, his wife of 50 years, will tell you to take your time. Four children, all grown, made a break for it and put roots in different parts of our beautiful country. The seven grandkids don't know what he looks like. Go to the nearest locally owned coffee shop and just by chance he may be there. He will be the only one with a pencil and paper.
