About this title

Synopsis

""An Anatomy of Kinship: Mathematical Models for Structures of Cumulated Roles"" by Harrison Colyar White is a comprehensive study of kinship structures and their mathematical models. The book explores the complex relationships between family members and how they shape social structures. It delves into the historical and cultural context of kinship structures, and how they have evolved over time. The author presents various mathematical models that can be used to analyze and understand kinship structures, including graph theory, set theory, and probability theory. The book also explores the role of gender and age in kinship structures, and how they affect social dynamics. Overall, ""An Anatomy of Kinship"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of human relationships and social structures.Appendices By Andre Weil And Robert R.

About the Author

James Julian Coleman, Jr., a native New Orleanian, came from a Louisiana family that has long been associated with the Mississippi River and its commerce. His great-grandfather owned a rice plantation and constructed there the first rice mill to be built in the South; it was at Pointe-a-la-Hache in Plaquemines Parish where St. Maxent built Fort St. Philip. Coleman, who studied at Princeton, Oxford, and Tulane, was the youngest man ever to address the Louisiana Historical Society.
