Drawn together in a comprehensive Introduction by Bernard Bailyn, the essays include analyses of the climate and ecology that underlay the slave trade, pan-Atlantic networks of religion and of commerce, legal and illegal, inter-ethnic collaboration in the development of tropical medicine, science as a product of imperial relations, the Protestant international that linked Boston and pietist Germany, and the awareness and meaning of the Atlantic world in the mind of that preeminent intellectual and percipient observer, David Hume. In his Introduction Bailyn explains that the Atlantic world was never self-enclosed or isolated from the rest of the globe but suggests that experiences in the early modern Atlantic region were distinctive in ways that shaped the course of world history.

The Debated Mind: Evolutionary Psychology Versus Ethnography

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Whitehouse, Harvey, PUBLISHER: Berg Publishers, In a further development of the nature-nurture debate, this collection of articles questions how the human mind influences the content and organization of culture. In the study of mental activity, can the effects of evolution and history be teased apart? Evolutionary psychologists argue that cultural transmission is constrained by our genetic inheritance. Few social and cultural anthropologists have found this argument to be relevant to their work and many would doubt its validity. This book uniquely pitches the arguments for innatism against ethnographic perspectives that call into question the theoretical foundations of orthodox evolutionary biology and cognitive science. Ultimately the aim of the debate is to create an original set of mutually compatible theories that will open up new areas for interdisciplinary research.

Population and Development: A Critical Introduction

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Furedi, Frank, PUBLISHER: St. Martin's Press, Many experts believe that population growth is the greatest threat facing humanity.

Examining a broad range of key debates and controversies -- the population bomb in Asia, the culture of a distinct regime of African fertility, the role of education in stabilizing population growth in Kerala -- he contends that the marginalization of the goal of development is the outcome of a narrow concern with population policies.
