Margaret Mead's exploration of the Manus people in New Guinea reveals their family dynamics, views on sex, marriage, child-rearing, and spirituality during a transformative period in 1928. Living in a remote fishing village, she documented a culture untouched by modern influences, drawing parallels to contemporary Western society. This reissue, celebrating her centennial, includes introductions by Howard Gardner and her daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson, highlighting its significant anthropological contributions and the vivid portrayal of a lost way of life.
