About This Item
New York, New York: William Morrow and Company, 1956. Book. Fine. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. New York, NY: William Morrow and Company, 1956. First Edition. 8vo. Cloth with black and white illustrations. Appears unread. New Lives for Old is not only a vivid account of a unique situation in the South Seas, it has important implications for developments taking place all over the world today as primitive, peasant, and exotic societies are being transformed on a 20th century model. Dr. Mead advances a revolutionary theory of cultural change: that rapid change is better than slow change and that many of the ills of the present world come not from too much change but too little too late. Fine in near fine jacket, protected by a mylar cover..
