{"product_id":"wolf-children-9780853452645","title":"Wolf Children","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The idea that man has no nature,\" Malson begins, \"is now beyond  dispute. He has or rather is a history.\" In these provocative words,  which form the theme of this essay, Malson carries one step further the  assumption of behaviorists, structural functionalists, cultural  anthropologists, and evolutionists that \"human nature\" is a constant. If  the content of the analysis made by anthropologists is not affected by a  \"human nature\" that lies outside of history, humanity to all effects  and purposes becomes its history. So-called wolf children are children  abandoned at an early age and found leading an isolated existence. They  are thus natural examples of complete social deprivation and Malson  explores their history in this complete study. His essay is followed by  Itard's account of Victor, a wolf child found in the forests of central  France at the end of the eighteenth century. Itard's two reports have  become a classic of psychological and educational literature, and are  presented here as the most important first-hand account of a wolf child.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucien Malson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274161008891,"sku":"9780853452645","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_86934f2b-4df1-4c99-910c-0df787d318c9.jpg?v=1771077096","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/wolf-children-9780853452645","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
