The deeper philosophical meaning of "value" is examined in this thought-provoking study of the household values that are associated with agricultural land, rural marketing, village money lending, and the use of diverse forms of "money" in Central India. Gregory (anthropology, Australian National U.) uses a comparative approach based on extensive field work in Central India to analyze the values that spring from reciprocally recognized relations of affinity, consanguinity and contiguity, and to contemplate how these relate to western notions of money and value--the "savage money" of free market capitalism. This is a second printing of a 1997 book. c. Book News Inc.

The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.
