“The editors provide a nice integration of the book material in the conclusion. While the individual chapters do not, for the most part, provide examples of integrative biocultural approaches, the editors skilfully weave them together thematically and in relation to current issues in the conclusion…the book provides a nice sampling of the spectrum of data and approaches that constitute the field, and as such would be useful for a class in nutritional anthropology.”  ·  JRAI “The individual chapters presented in the volume are well written and together detail a broad range of methodological approaches to the topics around which the volume is structured…This edited volume would be of particular interest to advanced graduate students or researchers interested in the specific topics covered by each chapter.”  ·  Medical Anthropology Quarterly   "This is a high-quality publication. Many of the chapters are excellent reviews of methods and perspectives in their particular area. The editors have clearly done a good job… There is a strong mix of topics that go well together and are tied together by the first and last chapters."  ·  Alan Goodman, Hampshire College
