Produktbeschreibung
Though many books have been written about the famous anthropologists Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson, none match the depth and intimacy of this classic memoir by their daughter. An illuminating portrait that throws new light on the couple's extraordinary scientific achievements. Photos.
In "With a Daughter's Eye," writer and cultural anthropologist Mary Catherine Bateson looks back on her extraordinary childhood with two of the world's legendary anthropologists, Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson. This deeply human and illuminating portrait sheds new light on her parents' prodigious achievements and stands alone as an important contribution for scholars of Mead and Bateson. But for readers everywhere, this engaging, poignant, and powerful book is first and foremost a singularly candid memoir of a unique family by the only person who could have written it.
