Letters from the Field 1925-1975.

Margaret Mead.

A fine selection of letters that world renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead sent home to friends and family from the exotic worlds that absorbed her. Here are letters from Samoa, Manus in the Admiralty Islands, New Guinea, Bali and thereafter from brief return visits to Manus, New Guinea and also a visit to Monserrat in the West Indies, later in her career. Enhanced by over 100 photographs this is a very personal record of what it meant to be a practicing anthropologist for over fifty years.
