Never in Anger: Portrait of an Eskimo Family di Jean L. Briggs
A nice personal account of the author's visit to an Eskimo community. I think this is a book that many people outside of anthropology could enjoy since it's not theoretical. The author puts herself on center stage, assessing how the different family members in a small igloo reacted to her presence and how those reactions changed when she made social mistakes. A good book to read in the light of the bunsen burner.
