Margaret Mead: A Life"Engaging . . . a fine biography that gets beyond the public icon to a portrait of the real woman." Chicago Sun Times At the age of twenty three, in the 1920s, Margaret Mead traveled alone to the South Sea and wrote of adolescent sexuality and guilt free love in her now classic Coming of Age in Samoa. For the next half century, Mead would act as a powerful participant and opinion maker in the largest issues of her time: culture and religion, education
"Engaging . . . a fine biography that gets beyond the public icon to a portrait of the real woman."--Chicago Sun-TimesAt the age of twenty-three, in the 1920s, Margaret Mead traveled alone to the South Sea and wrote of adolescent sexuality and guilt-free love in her now classic Coming of Age in Samoa. For the next half-century, Mead would act as a powerful participant and opinion maker in the largest issues of her time: culture and religion, education and child rearing, sex and freedom, world hunger, war, and the politics of peace. Outrageous and extravagant, Mead was, in every sense of the word, spirited. Friendships and families of many kinds were at the core of her personal life, and she was both loyal and demanding with people, always challenging them to move in new directions. An inveterate world traveler, a teacher at Columbia University, and curator of The Museum of Natural History, Mead wrote thirty-four books, made ten films, and was granted twenty-eight honorary degrees and numerous awards. This intimate and fascinating story is an astonishing record of the personal and scientific life of an extraordinary human being. Praise for Margaret Mead "Mead was, as Miss Howard's abundantly and unfailing lively account shows, a very American individual. . . . Miss Howard writes not as an anthropologist but as the superb reporter she is."--The Wall Street Journal
"A triumph of industry, imagination, and literary grace."--The Washington Post

Great stabilizer
Style: Levelers, Size: 20 Pack, Style: Levelers, Size: 20 Pack
Very light, seem very sturdy and lock together snuggly. Instead of carrying heavy wood to support, now I can use the light weight levelers. Tested multiple times to make sure they could hold, so far no issues going up and down.

Great budget multi tool
Style: Corded
Nice little rig that fits the bill for occasional hobby use. The motor is powerful enough to polish and cut without bogging down. Bits attach securely and easily. Light and easy to use. The price is great for this multi tool. Recommended

Favorite DIY Sidekick
Style: Corded
Bought this for one task: grind away an interfering piece of metal in my door’s strike plate. I was unhappy about spending $20 on another DIY tool for one tiny specific purpose but to my pleasant surprise, I haven’t stopped using this dremel since.
I’ve cut and sanded wood projects, trimmed custom cabinet panels, smoothed jagged hole edges, and more. I hardly ever turn the dial past 4 to find a speed I’m comfortable with. It’s very powerful and gives great results. I bought a cheaper one that busted on the first try and I’m so happy this was my next choice. It’s handled all the fixer-upper challenges I’ve asked of it.
The starter kit is a little sparse on the good stuff like saw blades and washers but very helpful. The case is convenient. My only gripe is I have to be intentional about placement to get it to close but the cord and extension tool is so long and useful that it makes up for it. It’s a little bulky but comfortable to hold and I’ve been able to reach all the narrow corners and tight spaces I’ve needed.
My next project is to cut away some protruding screw threads and my immediate thought was to reach for the WEN rotary. For the amount of value I’ve gotten out of it, this thing has paid for itself a few times already.
