MARY CATHERINE BATESON, A CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGIST

Old crazed mirror's reflection in my study

Viewed this video today and thought it would be worthwhile to put on my blog for women that are, as Ms Bateson calls it, in their Adulthood II phase of life. This being in our "old" jargon -- elderly.

Times are changing for both men and women in regards to what is opening up for their Adulthood II stage of life and it is uplifting and exciting.

Below is the link to Ms Bateson's short ten minute talk -- associated with the series TED Talks.

Ms Bateson carries a hefty background of famed parents. She is the daughter of famed Margaret Mead, anthropologist, and Gregory Bateson, writer. Amazon and independent bookstores carry books by Mary Catherine Bateson as well as the many books by her parents.

I'm still off for the summer but might just put on a post ever so often -- difficult to stay away from blogging.

WELCOME

Recently lived in the Appalachian area of the U.S. -- I have now moved to the Pacific Northwest. My blog has covered several years of Appalachian folkways and beginning this year of 2013 will begin to cover the Pacific Northwest. Therefore, there will be a potpourri of Appalachian and Pacific Northwest ways reflected in my posts. I'm an observer of cultures and nature both here and beyond and will bring those observations to you through my writings and photography. Please feel free to leave comments. ~~ barbara. -- http://folkwaysnotebook.blogspot.com/ All photos on this blog are mine unless otherwise designated -- use of photos or text should carry FOLKWAYS NOTEBOOK credit designation.

Much of the Pacific Northwest is forested. The Georgia Strait–Puget Sound basin is shared between British Columbia and Washington, and the Pacific temperate rain forests ecoregion, which is the largest of the world's temperate rain forest ecozones in the system created by the World Wildlife Fund, stretches along the coast from Alaska to California. The dryland area inland from the Cascade Range and Coast Mountains is very different from the terrain and climate of the coastal area due to the rain shadow effect of the mountains
