I'm not sure how they compare to other textbooks, but Biological Anthropology: The Natural History of Humankind seems to give a broad and relatively up-to-date overview, and Exploring Biological Anthropology: The Essentials is a somewhat more concise version.
Like other users mentioned, The Fossil Trail has pretty interesting background, and The Complete World of Human Evolution is a solid but truly concise overview if you don't want to go for a full textbook, or would rather spend the difference on a lucky replica tarsier skull. Fossil and genetic research within the last year will make any book a little dated, but is easy enough to catch up on.
The CARTA symposia lectures available on YouTube or its site are a good resource.
For example, this one could be interesting for the emphasis and associations even if you've covered the material in a book, and gives a sense of a prominent researcher in the field (coauthor of 'The Complete World...', and author of Lone Survivors, which might also be worth checking out).
These presentations from a symposium on the origins of violence are another example (20 min. each, 3 per video):

They give a range of viewpoints, and again personalize some of the academics involved.
