Александр Никонов - известный журналист и писатель, автор знаменитых бестселлеров Конец феминизма и Кризисы в истории цивилизации. Мастерски дискутируя на острые и неоднозначные темы, автор выступает в своих произведениях апологетом здравого смысла. Талантливые провокации Никонова возмущают, вызывают желание найти опровержение, оспорить, но самое главное – заставляют думать. Почему мы такие, какие есть. Практическая антропология, вне сомнений, вызовет негативную реакцию у многих представителей нашего "человейника". Но что есть книга, как ни своевременный толчок к тому, чтобы задуматься?

The Maria girls from Bastar practise sex as an institution before marriage, but with rules-one may not sleep with a partner more than three times; the Hallaki women from the Konkan coast sing throughout the day-in forests, fields, the market and at protests; the Kanjars have plundered, looted...

A Medieval Life offers a biography of one woman, a portrait of her world, and an introduction to historical method. Written in a clear and accessible style, it reworks a well-loved book to provide an entirely new resource for students, teachers, and general listeners. Like Cecilia Penifader, most people in the Middle Ages were peasants, humble people living socially below the knights, bishops, and kings who figure so large in history books. Judith M. Bennett shows that peasants, too, made history.

In 1995, a scandal erupted when the New York Times revealed that the Smithsonian possessed a century’s worth of nude “posture” photos of college students. In this riveting history, Beth Linker tells why these photos were only a small part of the incredible story of twentieth-century America’s largely forgotten posture panic—a decades-long episode in which it was widely accepted as scientific fact that Americans were suffering from an epidemic of bad posture, with potentially catastrophic health consequences.

Wie lebten Frauen in der Stein- und Bronzezeit? Wie waren die Geschlechterverhältnisse in der Zeit vor Erfindung der Schrift? Bis vor Kurzem waren alle Antworten auf diese Fragen mehr oder weniger Spekulation. Doch seit DNA-Analysen für die prähistorische Forschung zur Verfügung stehen, hat sich dies geändert. Die Wissenschaftsjournalistin Karin Bojs trägt die neuesten Ergebnisse zusammen und fragt, wann und warum das Patriarchat entstand. Die Prähistorikerin Marija Gimbutas hatte seit den 50er Jahren eine Theorie entwickelt, nach der in „Alteuropa“ eher friedliche, matrilineare Gesellschaften existiert hätten.

La révolution néolithique qui a lieu entre -10 000 et – 5 000 avant notre ère en plusieurs endroits du globe, est le moment le plus décisif de l'histoire humaine. C'est le passage de la cueillette et de la chasse à l'invention de l'agriculture et de l'élevage. Jean-Paul Demoule présente ici les raisons climatiques, environnementales et culturelles de cette révolution. Des conséquences infinies. Ses conséquences sont multiples et nous les observons chaque jour : explosion démographique, migrations, sédentarisation, naissance des villes et de l'écriture, essor des violences entre communautés.

L'histoire de l'univers et de la vie - Un fascinant récit qui évoque l'histoire de l'univers, du monde, de la vie et de l'homme. Cette histoire Yves Coppens nous montre qu'elle est celle d'une transformation incessante faite d'extinctions et d'innovations, d'une adaptation et d'une évolution face à des milieux changeants. L'homme, la conscience et la culture. Les grandes étapes et les principes guidant cette longue évolution sont expliqués jusqu'à l'apparition de l'homme.

Esistono luoghi in cui non sembra vivere nessuno. Strade solitarie su cui muovono i passi sparuti camminatori, case centenarie in cui i silenzi sono rotti solo dal ronzio di qualche televisione lontana, antichi muretti a secco su cui camminano gatti randagi e lucertole più di quanto vi si appoggino mani e schiene umane, vecchie stufe a gas a riscaldare ampie stanze semivuote.

Книга рассказывает о жизни людей в далекой середине XX века, о формировании увлекательной науки о мозге человека, о тех, кто в мимолетных встречах на научных форумах или в теснейших контактах повседневной работы обогатил своими мыслями и трудом изучение сложнейшего создания на нашей планете — мозга человека. В книге — о расшифровке законов активности здорового и больного мозга и о приложимости этих законов не только в медицине, но и к событиям социального порядка государственного масштаба.

SIAMO INTRINSECAMENTE LEGATI. TUTTI. E NON È POSSIBILE TORNARE INDIETRO. Siamo più vicini o più lontani? La globalizzazione è agli sgoccioli o si è presa solo una pausa di riflessione e quel che accade in paesi all’apparenza distanti continua a ripercuotersi a cascata su tutti gli altri, in un effetto domino? Come si spiega altrimenti che la chiusura dei porti in Ucraina faccia aumentare il prezzo della carta in Italia e provochi sommosse in Sri Lanka. Che l’aumento della siccità in Sicilia modifichi la viticoltura in America.

One of the government’s former behavioural scientists reveals how you can do what you want, whilst everybody tries to influence you into doing what they want. Influence makes you think what you think and do as you do. You use it to change the thoughts and behaviours of others – just as...

Imagine you were transported back in time to Ancient Greece and you had to start a new life there. What would you see? How would the people around you think and believe? How would you fit in? Where would you live? What would you eat? What work would be available, and what help could you get if you got sick?

Dieses Hörbuch stellt einen übersichtlichen chronologischen Querschnitt der uns heute bekannten Entstehung und Entwicklung der menschlichen Kultur dar. Vom 5ten Jahrtausend vor Christus bis zum Jahre 2024 bewegen wir uns innerhalb eines Zeitfensters von etwa 7000 Jahren. Was manchen wie ein unglaublich langer Zeitraum erscheinen mag, ist für uns durch dieses Hörbuch ein gemütliches Dahingleiten durch die relative Ewigkeit des menschlichen Geistes. Da Künste, Religionen, Gesellschaftsformen etc. Produkte der menschlichen Kultur sind, erfahren wir gewissermaßen "fast Alles über fast Alles" ohne fast Nichts zu vergessen.

From a European-Western perspective, much of what is related to the state of Japan, including its history and culture and the people who live there, seems not only foreign, but also in some ways inaccessible and incomprehensible. Those who do not deal with it explicitly often have no connection to Japan at all. This, of course, is also true of Japanese mythology. In contrast to Greco-Roman or Nordic-Germanic mythology, the level of knowledge about it in the West is rather low.

Deer have been an important part of the world that humans occupy for millennia. They're one of the only large animals that can thrive in our presence. In the twenty-first century, our relationship is full of contradictions: We hunt and protect them, we cull them from suburbs while making them an icon of wilderness, we see them both as victims and as pests. But there is no doubt that we have a connection to deer: in mythology and story, in ecosystems biological and digital, in cities and in forests.

Feared by settlers and natives alike, the Shawnee tribe have been misunderstood by people throughout history. Who were these conservative people? What was their daily life like? How were their villages organized? This informative book will answer these questions and more in the first volume of the We are Shawnee series.

Wurgaft and White use vivid storytelling to bring food practices to life, weaving stories of Panamanian coffee growers, medieval women beer makers, and Japanese knife forgers. From the Venetian spice trade to the Columbian Exchange, from Roman garum to Vietnamese nuoc cham, Ways of Eating provides an absorbing account of world food history and anthropology. Migration, politics, and the dynamics of group identity all shape what we eat, and we can learn to trace these social forces from the plate to the kitchen, the factory, and the field.
