Gregory Bateson was a philosopher, anthropologist, photographer,
naturalist, and poet, as well as the husband and collaborator of
Margaret Mead. 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 Anthropologist
