Together they, and Edie alone after Vic's death, raised the idea of participant observation (and indeed of team learning) to heights and depth most anthropologists never achieve." [From the Foreword] This fascinating memoir is a lively testimony to a remarkable partnership and to Edie Turner's own achievements during more than two decades after Victor's untimely death UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781800734067?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781800734067 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781800734067/original ER -
