Margaret Mead Coming of Age in Samoa: A Study of Adolescence and Sex in Primitive Societies
Pelican / Penguin Books 239803 Great Britain 1965 Reprint Softcover Good Condition Rarely do science and literature come together in the same book. When they do -- as in Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, for example -- they become classics, quoted and studied by scholars and the general public alike. Margaret Mead accomplished this remarkable feat not once but several times, beginning with Coming of Age in Samoa. It details her historic journey to American Samoa, taken where she was just twenty-three, where she did her first fieldwork. Here, for the first time, she presented to the public the idea that the individual experience of developmental stages could be shaped by cultural demands and expectations. Adolescence, she wrote, might be more or less stormy, and sexual development more or less problematic in different cultures. The "civilized" world, she taught us had much to learn from the "primitive. 240 pages. Pages browned. Cover edges lightly rubbed. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.

Thomas Friedman The Lexus and The Olive Tree
HarperCollins 237483 Great Britain 2000 0006551394 / 9780006551393 Softcover Very Good Condition A powerful and accessible account of globalization - the new world order that has replaced the cold war - by the award-winning author of From Beirut to Jerusalem. More than anything else, globalization is shaping world affairs today. We cannot interpret the day's news, or know where to invest our money, unless we understand this new system - the defining force in international relations and domestic policies worldwide. The unprecedented integration of finance, markets, nation states and technology is driving change accross the globe at an ever-increasing speed. And while much of the world is intent on building a better Lexus, on streamlining their societies and economies for the global marketplace, many people feel their traditional identities threatened and are reverting to elemental struggles over who owns which olive tree, which strip of land. Thomas Friedman has a unique vantage point on this worldwide phenomenon. The New York Times foreign affairs columnist has travelled the globe, interviewing everyone from Brazilian peasants to new entrepreneurs in Indonesia, to Islamic students, to the financial wizards on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley, to find out what globalization means for them, and for all of us. This ground-breaking book is essential reading for anyone who wants to know how the world really works today. 490 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Anthropology; Anthropology; ISBN: 0006551394. ISBN/EAN: 9780006551393. Inventory No: 237483. Paperback
