Margaret Mead once said, "I have spent most of my life studying the lives of other peoples-faraway peoples-so that Americans might better understand themselves." Continuities in Cultural Evolution is evidence of this devotion. All of Mead’s efforts were intended to help others learn about themselves and work toward a more humane and socially responsible society. Scientist, writer, explorer, and teacher, Mead brought the serious work of anthropology into the public consciousness. This volume began as the Terry Lectures, given at Yale in 1957 and was not published until 1964, after exte

When FBI special agent Rory Sinclair saw the woman who ran the guest house where he was staying, she wasn’t the apron-clad lady with graying hair tucked in a prim bun he’d envisioned. Not even close. Peggy Honeywell was a young single mom whose seductive gaze nearly froze him in his tracks. Going undercover to expose the danger looming at Colton-endowed Hopechest Ranch wasn’t nearly so hard as pretending he didn’t ache to take this wary widow in his arms and make every room in her house theirs -- exclusively. And for the first time in his life, this hardened lawman felt

New immigrants-those arriving since the Immigration Reform Act of 1965-have forever altered American culture and have been profoundly altered in turn. Although the religious congregations they form are often a nexus of their negotiation between the old and new, they have received little scholarly attention. "Religion and the New Immigrants" fills this gap. Growing out of the carefully designed Religion, Ethnicity and the New Immigration Research project, "Religion and the New Immigrants" combines in-depth studies of thirteen congregations in the Houston area with seven thematic essays looking

This book addresses the long term of German history, tracing ideas and politics across what have become sharp chronological breaks. Smith argues that current historiography has become ever more focused on the twentieth century, and on twentieth-century explanations for the German catastrophe. Against conventional wisdom, he considers continuities - in the concept of nation and the ideology of nationalism, in religion and religious exclusion, and in racism and violence - that are the center of the German historical experience and that have long histories. Smith explores these deep continuities
