Erickson and Murphy's book has become the new standard text in theoretical readings in anthropology. It surpasses the others in its treatment of more current theories, and its length (it includes many more articles). I can only think of two drawbacks to the book: 1) no footnotes, which are helpful in this type of book, and 2) it is rather pricey. However, if you want the best collection currently available, you should get it.
