""Ingold is a prolific writer and an influential iconoclast, and one does not need to be familiar with his work to gain a strong sense from these conversations about some of the key intellectual debates in the field of anthropology over the past four or five decades. These conversations are rich in Ingold's intellectual development journey."" - Ed Liebow, Affiliate Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Washington, and retired Executive Director of the American Anthropological Association ""'In this timely book, the editors engage with Ingold through a series of conversations which tease out some of the key ideas that have emerged from his attempts to loosen the straitjacket imposed by received analytic distinctions. We encounter his trademark irreverence, his refreshing willingness to be publicly self-critical, and a determination to be forever moving on to something new. Here is a personal voyage of intellectual discovery."" Roy Ellen FBA, Past President of the Royal Anthropological Institute
