EDITOR'S NOTE

Anthropology and Humanism's New Format: This year is the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Society for Humanistic Anthropology. We are able to celebrate. After years of hoping that the journal might have a better appearance, we are now able to bring out Anthropology and Humanism in the format of a scholarly journal, with a spine, as befits the Society for Humanistic Anthropology, among whose membership are some of the finest scholars of our day--Roy Wagner, Lila Abu-Lughod, Paul Friedrich, Carol Laderman, and the many whose work our readers have already seen in the pages of the journal. To start the new format, Ivan Brady and Edith Turner are combining forces to edit this special issue on humanistic anthropology today.

We thank the experts of the editorial and production department of the American Anthropological Association for their able help and encouragement in the changeover, as well as our excellent editorial staff--Christine Gardner, Molly Turner, and Laura Bellows.

Letters to the editor will now be welcomed as a regular part of Anthropology and Humanism. Please give your views on the discussions in this special issue and any comments on the journal or humanistic anthropology in general.
