However, when first published, as Dr. Mead points out in her preface to this Morrow Quill edition, it was "the first piece of work by a serious professional anthropologist written for the educated layman in which all the paraphernalia of scholarship designed to convince one's professional colleagues and confuse the laity was deliberately laid aside."Mead, Margaret is the author of 'The Coming of Age in Samoa: A Psychological Study of Primitive Youth for Western Civilization', published 1971 under ISBN 9780688309749 and ISBN 0688309747.
