Description

"The Family" is a vintage anthropological text-book originally designed for college instruction. It provides a detailed historical outline of the family unit, exploring its origins, evolution, and ethnological factors with reference to contemporary theory. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in learning more about the family unit, and especially students of anthropology and sociology. Contents include: "Methods," "Meaning of the Family in Evolution," "The Duration of Parental Care Among Mankind," "Social Factors in Birth - And Child Death-Rates," "Parental Power," "Home Education and Stages of Parenthood," "Sexual Relations Exclusive of Marriage," etc. Elsie Worthington Clews Parsons (1875 - 1941) was an American sociologist, anthropologist, folklorist, and feminist. She was famous for studying Native American tribes including the Tewa and Hopi, as well as for helping found "The New School." She was elected the first female president of the American Anthropological Association (1941) just before her death. Other notable works by this author include: "The Social Organization of the Tewa of New Mexico" (1929), "Hopi and Zuni Ceremonialism" (1933), and "Pueblo Indian Religion" (1939). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
