Anthony F. C. Wallace is University Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. His many books include Revitalizations and Mazeways, Modernity and Mind, and The Social Context of Innovation, all published by the University of Nebraska Press.
"Extraordinary and brilliant... Rockdale has the dimensions of an important event in American historical writing. It is not only a splendid reconstruction of the past ... [b]ut a powerful interpretive reading that reconceives the very basis for the study of American industrialization... A book of epic proportions."--New York Times Book Review
