- Alfred Kroeber: A Personal Configuration is a 1970 biography of the anthropologist Alfred Louis Kroeber, written by Theodora Kroeber. The book covers his entire life, including his childhood in New York City, his education at Columbia University and his work in anthropology under Franz Boas, his eventual employment at the University of California, Berkeley, the death of his first wife and his second marriage in 1926 to Theodora, his various field trips, and his life in retirement. Theodora Kroeber's writing was universally praised by reviewers: anthropologist George W. Stocking Jr. wrote that her "gift for [evocative] and moving descriptive writing" was frequently evident. Some reviews also discussed the biography's illumination of Kroeber's scholarly development and called it a work of value to anthropologists, while others found it wanting as an "intellectual biography".
