It is an insightful and informative study of the role of war in human society, from the perspective of a historian. The book explores the impact of war on society, both historically and in contemporary times. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the social, political, and economic factors that have led to the development of war as a social institution. Clarkson delves into the origins of war, tracing its roots back to ancient times, and examines the evolution of warfare through the ages. He explores the various forms of conflict that have arisen throughout history, from tribal warfare to modern-day warfare, and the impact that these conflicts have had on human societies. The book also explores the role of war in shaping political and economic systems, and the impact of war on individual lives and communities.Throughout the book, Clarkson presents a balanced and nuanced view of war as a social institution, highlighting its positive and negative aspects. He argues that while war has often been a destructive force, it has also played a significant role in shaping human societies and driving progress in areas such as technology and medicine.Overall, War As A Social Institution: The Historian's Perspective is a thought-provoking and engaging study of the role of war in human society.

The definitive book on what is known about the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene archaeological record in the Southeast The 1996 benchmark volume The Paleoindian and Early Archaic Southeast, edited by David G. Anderson and Kenneth E. Sassaman, was the first study to summarize what was known of the peoples who lived in the Southeast when ice sheets covered the northern part of the continent and mammals such as mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and ground sloths roamed the landscape.The American Southeast at the End of the Ice Age provides an updated, definitive synthesis of current archaeological research gleaned from an array of experts in the region. It is organized in three parts: state records, the regional perspective, and reflections and future directions. Chapters survey a diversity of topics including the distribution of the earliest archaeological sites in the region, chipped-stone tool technology, the expanding role of submerged archaeology, hunter-gatherer lifeways, past climate changes and the extinction of megafauna on the transitional landscape, and evidence of demographic changes at the end of the Ice Age. Discussion of the ethical responsibilities regarding the use of private collections and the relationship of archaeologists and the avocational community, insight from outside the Southeast, and considerations for future research round out the volume.

California Condors in the Pacific Northwest

California Condors in the Pacific Northwest

Jesse D'Elia; Susan M. Haig; Noel Snyder

Oregon State University
2013
nidottu
Despite frequent depiction as a bird of California and the desert southwest, North America’s largest avian scavenger once graced the skies of the Pacific Northwest, from northern California to British Columbia. This important volume documents the condor’s history in the region, from prehistoric times to the early twentieth century, and explores the challenges of reintroduction. Jesse D’Elia and Susan Haig investigate the paleontological and observational record as well as the cultural relationships between Native American tribes and condors, providing the most complete assessment to date of the condor’s occurrence in the Pacific Northwest. They evaluate the probable causes of regional extinction and the likelihood that condors once bred in the region, and they assess factors that must be considered in determining whether they could once again thrive in Northwest skies. Incorporating the newest research and findings and more than eighty detailed historical accounts of human encounters with these birds of prey, California Condors in the Pacific Northwest sets a new standard for examining the historical record of a species prior to undertaking a reintroduction effort. It is a vital reference for academics, agency decision makers, conservation biologists, and readers interested in Northwest natural history. The volume is beautifully illustrated by Ram Papish and includes a number of previously unpublished photographs.
