Her first book, Coming of Age in Samoa, chronicled that visit and launched her distinguished career. Following her landmark field work focusing on girls in American Samoa, noted anthropologist Margaret Mead found that she needed to study preadolescents in order to understand adolescents. In 1928 she went to Manus Island in New Guinea, where she studied the play and imaginations of younger children and how they were shaped by adult society. Mead and her second husband, Reo Fortune, lived in 24-hour contact with the inhabitants of this fishing village.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing the sensational success of her first book, \u003cem\u003eComing of Age in Samoa, \u003c\/em\u003e Margaret Mead continued her brilliant work in \u003cem\u003eGrowing Up in New Guinea, \u003c\/em\u003e detailing her study of the Manus, a New Guinea people still untouched by the outside world when she visited them in 1928.

She developed fascinating insights into their family lives, exploring their attitudes toward sex, marriage, the rearing of children, and the supernatural, which led her to see intriguing parallels with modern Western society.
