This volume collects, for the first time, twenty five of her most prescient writings on the future of humanity and how humans can shape that future through purposeful action. For Mead, the study of the future grew naturally out of her lifelong interest in processes of change."--Jacket.Margaret Mead--the study of contemporary western cultures ;Volume 6.AnthropologyPhilosophyAnthropologyForecastingForecastingStudy and teachingAnthropologyPhilosophy.AnthropologyForecasting.ForecastingStudy and teaching.301/.0173.02bclMead Margaret1901-1978,118870Textor Robert B.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792203803321The world ahead3825744UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
