Unique and important . . . Patterns of Culture is a signpost on the road to a freer and more tolerant life. -- New York Times A remarkable introduction to cultural studies, Patterns of Culture is an eloquent declaration of the role of culture in shaping human life. In this fascinating work, the renowned anthropologist Ruth Benedict compares three societies -- the Zuni of the southwestern United States, the Kwakiutl of western Canada, and the Dobuans of Melanesia -- and demonstrates the diversity of behaviors in them. Benedict's groundbreaking study shows that a unique configuration of traits defines each human culture and she examines the relationship between culture and the individual. Featuring prefatory remarks by Franz Boas, Margaret Mead, and Louise Lamphere, this provocative work ultimately explores what it means to be human. That today the modern world is on such easy terms with the concept of culture . . . is in very great part due to this book. -- Margaret Mead Benedict's Patterns of Culture is a foundational text in teaching us the value of diversity. Her hope for the future still has resonance in the twenty-first century: that recognition of cultural relativity will create an appreciation for 'the coexisting and equally valid patterns of life which mankind has created for itself from the raw materials of existence.' -- from the new foreword by Louise Lamphere, past president of the American Anthrolopological Association Ruth Benedict (1887-1948) was one of the most eminent anthropologists of the twentieth century. Her profoundly influential books Patterns of Culture and The Chrysanthemum and the Sword: Patterns of Japanese Culture were bestsellers when they were first published, and they have remained indispensable works for the study of culture in the many decades since.Binding Type: Paperback

Great everyday watch
Color: Green, Style: Modern
I still own an older, cheaper Casio from 1994 and it'd been through the wringer. 130' of depth and banging onto a shipwreck couldn't even kill it Paint splashes and scratches to the face have made the dial harder to read but it still works. Even the battery change every 4 years is simple and cheap and in short, I CANNOT KILL THIS FREAKIN' WATCH.
While the old watch still works, it's a little dated. Thus I looked into a newer, updated model of Casio watch for the next decade or so. This model caught my eye with a simple analog interface (Hate Digital watches), but still offered features such as an alarm, Stop-Watch, Timer, Alarm and even charged via Solar to eliminate even the battery replacement.
I love this new watch. Good looks with a easy to read Analog face in dual colors (White for minutes, blaze orange for hours) and even glows in the dark. The controls are simple enough and I use both the Stopwatch and Timer on a near daily basis. Probably the sole drawback is the size of the digital readout. It could be a little larger, but maybe that's age creeping up on me. Altogether a darn good everyday watch that has decent looks, practicality and should last quite a long time.

Tough, Durable, Water Resistant Watch Suitable for Outdoor Use
Color: Green, Style: Modern
I normally don't write many reviews; however, this watch is an exception. First, it is a $40 watch. On that premise, it will not have the Carbon Core associated with a GShock watch or an atomic clock function.
It does do the following REALLY well:
1) You set the clock once, and it keeps that exact time.
2) It is very water resistant. I spent a full 6 days, 12 hours a day, at Summer Camp getting BSA lifeguard certified. I never took off the watch. I swam 3 miles, dove 12 to 13 feet down retrieve dozens of 10 lbs anchors, and swam out to retrieved three exhausted swimmers. This watch didn't miss a beat.
3) The crystal can take a beating without scratching. The watch hit several canoe gunnels, face first and I can't find a scratch
4) it is very light weight and quite comfortable. I forgot I was wearing watch, even when doing water rescue exercises and people grabbing my wrists and the watch.
5) The analog watch hands are big and easy to read.
The digital display does take a few hours, for me, to fully understand how to program and get used to it. However, I can now easily cycle through day, date, and digital time. I believe that Casio keeps the digital seconds displayed because the analog hands lack a second hand. That may take some getting used to, but I learned to appreciate it.
In the end, this $40 watch does everything I need. I was looking for a durable watch with analog hands I could use for Boy Scouts, and the green model fit the bill. If you travel, which I don't, you have the World Time feature, but you must determine for yourself what features to prioritize.
For me it was:
1) Durable
2) Long life, Tough Solar for the win
3) Easy to read analog hands
4) very water resistant. I am not a diver, and 15 feet depth is the most I would expect to dive.
