Anthropology News. An Anthropology Webliography: Main. Welcome to my anthro page! Anthropology is such a wide and varied discipline, and the resources available for anthropology research encompass a plethora of options. In the United States, anthropology is divided into four sub-disciplines: physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and archaeology. I have divided the resources as such. Each page will provide links to resources relating to its respective sub-discipline. I have also chosen to provide links to open access journals, related databases, news feeds, and blogs. This site provides a basis for preliminary research in the anthropology discipline as well as several general information sources for the casual knowledge-seeker. Also, don't forget to visit your local librarian for more assistance!
I welcome any questions, comments, concerns, etc. Sincerely, Kat. Slavery Images. The 1,280 images in this collection have been selected from a wide range of sources, most of them dating from the period of slavery. This collection is envisioned as a tool and a resource that can be used by teachers, researchers, students, and the general public - in brief, anyone interested in the experiences of Africans who were enslaved and transported to the Americas and the lives of their descendants in the slave societies of the New World.
We would like to emphasize that little effort is made to interpret the images and establish the historical authenticity or accuracy of what they display. To accomplish this would constitute a major and different research effort. Individual users of this collection must decide such issues for themselves.

According to economists whose theories currently prevail in America, economics has replaced political economy, and economics deals with scarcity, prices, and resource allocation. In the definition of Paul Samuelson, "economics or political economy, as it used to be called . . is the study of how men and society choose, with or without the use of money, to employ scarce productive resources, which could have alternative uses, to produce various commodities over time and distribute them for consumption, now and in the future, among various people and groups in society.
"1 According to Robert Campbell, "One of the central preoccupations of economics has always been what determines price. "2 In the words of another expert, "Any community, the primers tell us, has to deal with a pervasive economic problem: how to determine the uses of available resources, including not only goods and services that can be employed productively but also other scarce supplies.
