A True Lucky Jim

In this conversational memoir, James "Jim" Peacock, Kenan Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, describes life in several dimensions: work, family, and the world. While discussing his career as a professor and leader, he emphasizes the triad of teaching, research, and service. Recounting his adventures as an anthropologist in Asia and the U.S. South, he celebrates family, friends, and music. Adding another perspective, his wife Florence contributes a spirited interview. Through it all, Jim Peacock is grateful for his sheer good luck.
