Population, Reproduction and Fertility in Melanesia
ISBN: 9781845452698 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Human biological fertility was considered a important issue to anthropologists and colonial administrators in the first part of the 20th century, as a dramatic decline in population was observed in many regions. However, the total demise of Melanesian populations predicted by some never happened; on the contrary, a rapid population increase took place for the second part of the 20th century. This volume explores relationships between human fertility and reproduction, subsistence systems, the symbolic use of ideas of fertility and reproduction in linking landscape to individuals and...

Anthropometry, the measurement of human morphology, is used in a wide range of applied and research contexts. In this volume, anthropologists, human biologists, physiologists, nutritionists and clinical scientists describe many of the ways in which anthropometry is used, and discuss problems associated with different methods of assessment. Topics include the measurement of growth asymmetry and variability in adult body size, measurement error and statistical issues in anthropometry, and the construction and use of growth charts in growth monitoring. The use of anthropometry in assessments of...

Evolving Human Nutrition: Implications for Public Health
ISBN: 9781107692664 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While most of us live our lives according to the working week, we did not evolve to be bound by industrial schedules, nor did the food we eat. Despite this, we eat the products of industrialization and often suffer as a consequence. This book considers aspects of changing human nutrition from evolutionary and social perspectives. It considers what a 'natural' human diet might be, how it has been shaped across evolutionary time and how we have adapted to changing food availability. The transition from hunter-gatherer and the rise of agriculture through to the industrialisation and...

Health Change in the Asia-Pacific Region
ISBN: 9781107406223 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Asia-Pacific region has seen great social, environmental and economic change across the past century, leading to dramatic changes in the health profiles of all populations represented in South East and East Asia, Pacific Islands and the islands of Melanesia. This volume considers evidence concerning prehistoric migration, and colonial, regional and global processes in the production of health change in the Asia-Pacific region. Notably, it examines ways in which a health pattern dominated by under-nutrition and infection has been displaced in many ways, and is being displaced elsewhere by...

Over 70% of the population in industrialized nations live in cities; in the next decade so will most of the world's entire population. This volume examines the impact of urban living on human health and biology. Cities pose numerous and diverse social and biological challenges to human populations.

Urban populations in industrialized nations have distinctive patterns of behavior, social stratification, stress, infectious disease, diet, activity, and exposure to...
