Edward T. Hall’s Life of Culture
Edward T. Hall was simply the guru of culture. This man's life work is the foundation of many international education and intercultural programs today - and deservedly so.
"An Anthropology of an Every Day Life" was written by Hall to document the first fifty years of his remarkable life. It is a fascinating read in that we get to observe an anthropologist in the making - commenting, through his unique lens, about his own journey and why he turned out the way he did.
