Musical Matings - Sexual Selection and the Origins of Music
ISBN: 9783639036718 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charles Darwin suggested that in the evolutionary past, women preferred to mate with musical men. Men made music in order to attract potential mates, and women chose the best musicians to father their children. Geoffrey Miller recently furthered Darwin's suggestions. However, the theories of both researchers are limited by their ethnocentric perceptions of musical behaviour. This book expands the theories of Darwin and Miller, evaluating music's origins from a cross-cultural perspective by examining the role of music in the courtship rituals of various cultures worldwide. The author...

The Lives Behind the Numbers - Understanding the Disproportionate Representation of Aboriginal Women in the Canadian Legal System

In Canada, Aboriginal women are over-represented in the legal system in comparison with their non-native counterparts.

Ethnopalynology - Pollen Analysis in Land and Underwater Archaeology
ISBN: 9783639064018 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

New avenues of study are constantly evolving within the science of palynology and especially ethnopalynology to bring to light new information that was not available because of methodology, lack of understanding or both. Ethnopalynology is defined as any information that may be derived from pollen data that is indicative of human activity from the past or present in an archaeological context. In...
