Sobre este artículo
Brisbane: University of Queensland Press (UQP), 1993. 1st ed.. Hardback folio, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), illustrated endpapers, frontispiece, colour photos (many full-page), few black & white text-drawings, spine ends rubbed, minor edgewear jacket (few small scratches), small scuff front board. Heavy (1.7 Kg), and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 240 pp. This fascinating book is Volume 2 in the Australian edition of the 5-volume series 'The Illustrated History of Humankind'. It is the human story from 10,000 BC: a story of dramatic climatic change and equally dramatic adaption - the domestication of wild plants and animals. The development of agriculture led to massive increases in population size, the building of urban centers, craft specialization, social stratification, and long-distance trade networks. The book covers Europe, New Guinea and the lowland Maya farmers, from Africa to southern and eastern Asia and the New World. This beautifully illustrated book introduces the latest archaeological findings - and their modern-day implications. Shows the human face of the archaeological record, and helps us to understand society, culture, art, and religion.
