DescriptionOften far from home and loved ones, famed anthropologist, Margaret Mead was a prolific letter writer, always honing her writing skills and her ideas. To Cherish the Life of the World presents, for the first time, her personal and professional correspondence, which spanned sixty years. These letters lend insights into Mead's relationships with interconnected circles of family, friends and colleagues, and reveal her thoughts on the nature of these relationships. With a foreword by her daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson, a renowned author and anthropologist in her own right, this volume of letters from Mead to those who shared her life and work offers new insight into a rich and deeply complex mind. |
