About the author

Alfred Louis Kroeber was an American cultural anthropologist. He received his Ph.D. under Franz Boas at Columbia University in 1901, the first doctorate in anthropology awarded by Columbia. He was also the first professor appointed to the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley. He played an integral role in the early days of its Museum of Anthropology, where he served as Director from 1909 through 1947. Kroeber provided detailed information about Ishi, the last surviving member of the Yahi people, whom he studied over a period of years. He was the father of the acclaimed novelist, poet, and writer of short stories Ursula K. Le Guin.

Reviews

[TK Keanini · Rating 5 out of 5]

My interest in Anthropolgy is from the perspective of trying to understands patterns of the whole system: technical and social. Again, I look to books published long ago for some answers. This book was first published in 1963 and might be a little hard to find.
