Tim Ingold is Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Aberdeen.
‘Ingold asserts the urgent need to reimagine and re-enact the relationship between past, present and future, arguing for the importance of collaboration and reciprocal learning across generations. He advances a proposal for a form of education that would unite the wisdom of elders with the curiosity of the young.’ Stuart McLean, University of Minnesota ‘Inspiring and beautifully written, Tim Ingold’s new book contemplates life and the relations that sustain it. Turning attention to the idea of generation, and with hope for the possibilities of collaboration, Ingold opens out and responds to crucial questions about time, growth, remembering, loss and continuity.’ Elizabeth Hallam, University of Oxford
