The Language of Gifts

The Language of Gifts is the first volume of the Territories of the Alive Trilogy by Christopher Kinman. In this book the author follows two timely and revolutionary ideas — the Rhizome and Gift-Exchange — and he observes how these ideas generate profound influences upon lives, relationships, work and community. In this first book Christopher illustrates these ideas from a variety of perspectives experienced through the pragmatic impact these concepts have on the work of the human services professions.
