New perspectives on transitions in human
history

This
book is about transitional periods of cultural and environmental change as seen
through the lenses of archaeology and ethnography. Incorporating data from
across six continents and tracing the human experience from the Late
Pleistocene to the present, this book offers a global comparative perspective
on transitional states.

Questions
of causality are considered, as are hypotheses about the processes of cultural
change.
