With a new foreword by his daughter Mary Katherine Bateson, this classic anthology of his major work will continue to delight and inform generations of readers. "This collection amounts to a retrospective exhibition of a working life. . . . Bateson has come to this position during a career that carried him not only into anthropology, for which he was first trained, but into psychiatry, genetics, and communication theory. . . . He . . . examines the nature of the mind, seeing it not as a nebulous something, somehow lodged somewhere in the body of each man, but as a network of interactions relating the individual with his society and his species and with the universe at large."—D. W. Harding, New York Review of Books "[Bateson's] view of the world, of science, of culture, and of man is vast and challenging. His efforts at synthesis are tantalizingly and cryptically suggestive. . . .This is a book we should all read and ponder."—Roger Keesing, American AnthropologistCountry/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Social Sciences, Society & CultureSubtitle: Collected Essays in Anthropology, Psychiatry, Evolution, and EpistemologyItem Height: 22mmItem Length: 14mmItem Width: 3mmItem Weight: 765gRelease Year: 2000 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
