Coevolution: Genes, Culture, and Human Diversity
ISBN: 9780804721561 / Angielski / Miękka / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charles Darwin's "On the Origins of Species" had two principal goals: to show that species had not been separately created and to show that natural selection had been the main force behind their proliferation and descent from common ancestors. In "Coevolution," the author proposes a powerful new theory of cultural evolution--that is, of the descent with modification of the shared conceptual systems we call "cultures"--that is parallel in many ways to Darwin's theory of organic evolution.
The author suggests that a process of cultural selection, or preservation by preference, driven chiefly... Charles Darwin's "On the Origins of Species" had two principal goals: to show that species had not been separately created and to show that natural se...

conduct Minor Field Studies for her Bachelor of Social Science. She decided to focus on the SOS Childrens association because it was a field that was unexplored. She could only find basic information about the association on the website, but wanted to know more about the women that worked within the association as mothers to the children being taken care of. That is why Nadine felt that this field could provide a great deal of input as to how the Lebanese society is built and adapted by the inhabitants. The ambition with this...

The Distribution of /s/ in Blackfoot
ISBN: 9783639177190 / Angielski / Miękka / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the distribution of Blackfoot /s/, which differs from that of all other consonants. Clusters of more than two consonants occur only with /s/, and clusters of more than three consonants occur only with geminate /ss/. The Blackfoot syllable seems to be overwhelmingly simple, with /ss/ clusters being the only outliers. While all other geminates occur between vowels, geminate /ss/ often occurs before, after, or between other consonants. This book describes the distribution of /s/ in Blackfoot, and then proposes that this distribution can be accounted for by positing that /s/ is...

Craniometric Variation of the Prehistoric Rapanui (Easter Islanders)
ISBN: 9783639175660 / Angielski / Miękka / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The origin, migration and evolution of the Rapanui (Easter Islanders), has been contested for many years. Archaeological, linguistic and genetic/serological data have played instrumental roles towards resolving these disputes thus far. Several models have been developed which have addressed the origins of the prehistoric population that colonized Rapa Nui (Easter Island), with the results of these craniometric analyses compared to those expected patterns of variation and relatedness. The results indicate that the prehistoric Rapanui had the strongest affinities with the Gambier...

Recently, the Southern upland of Vietnam has rapidly transformed due to the implementation of a series of institutional reforms, natural conservation and development programs. Research findings show that in response to impacts of institutional reforms and development programs, local people have tended to diversify their livelihood strategies, but their patterns of livelihood diversification are various and highly dependent on their background and benefits gained from such policies. Moreover, villagers have also developed new coping strategies and long-term social engagements to respond to the...

Naming the Future
ISBN: 9783639146899 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How can a community re-create itself after a civil
war? In El Salvador, returning refugees from the devastated northern regions established local community radio stations to inform, entertain and build a new cultural identity. Based on a year of ethnographic research, Naming the Future argues that these new community radios worked to activate a vision of civil society, and fought to create local public spaces which could also help them enter the national public sphere. They melded popular culture with mass media through their partipatory programs. This popular culture helped their communities... How can a community re-create itself after a civil

Levi-Strauss, Anthropology, and Aesthetics
ISBN: 9780521123013 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In a wide-ranging 2007 study of Claude Levi-Strauss's aesthetic thought, Boris Wiseman demonstrates not only its centrality within his oeuvre but also the importance of Levi-Strauss for contemporary aesthetic enquiry. Reconstructing the internal logic of Levi-Strauss's thinking on aesthetics, and showing how anthropological and aesthetic ideas intertwine at the most elemental levels in the elaboration of his system of thought, Wiseman demonstrates that Levi-Strauss's aesthetic theory forms an integral part of his approach to Amerindian masks, body decoration and mythology. He reveals the...
