Abstract:
In this generous biography, Kerns focuses on the ideas and experiences that gave rise to Stewards theory of cultural ecology and most influenced American anthropology. This volume locates the concept of cultural ecology as a social theory in the context of Stewards lived experience and personal construction of meaning. Kerns explores the scholars early life in the American West, his continued attachments to western landscapes and inhabitants, his research with Native Americans, and the writing of his classic work, Theory of Culture Change. Kernss book is so effortlessly crafted and beautifully constructed that it has the quality often attributed to Inca walls -- you cant insert a knife blade between the stones.? -- Robert L. Carneiro, author of The Muse of History and the Science of Culture_x000B_.
