Growing Up in New Guinea Author:Margaret Mead Life on a primitive island
With brilliant insight, humor, and warm sympathy, a noted anthropologist explores the family life of a primitive island people - their attitude toward sex, marriage, and the raising of children - and finds intriguing paralels with problems of modern life.
This is a well written work of sociology and anthropology, giving insight into a culture that no longer exists in this form. I found it very interesting.
