Review

'I found the book stimulating and thought provoking. I recommend it to anyone interested in settlement size, growth, sedentism and change throughout time ... the book is well worth the effort and time, and other readers will find other topics of interest in this complex but fascinating book.' American Antiquity

'... this book is important; it is Big Picture archaeology at its best and a provocative and stimulating proposal worthy of consideration.' American Anthropologist

Book Description

This study reviews 15,000 years of worldwide settlement growth in the light of the limits imposed by buildings, layouts, and forms of communication, and examines the great transformations of human settlements - from mobile to sedentary, sedentary to urban, and urban to industrial.
