Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. This collection presents, for the first time, a much-needed synthesis of the major research themes and findings that characterize the Woodland Period in the southeastern United States.The Woodland Period (ca. 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1000) has been the subject of a great deal of archaeological research over the past 25 years. Researchers have learned that in this approximately 2000-year era the peoples of the Southeast experienced increasing sedentism, population growth, and organizational complexity. At the beginning of the period, people are assumed to have been living in small groups, loosely bound by collective burial rituals. But by the first millennium A.D., some parts of the region had densely packed civic ceremonial centers ruled by hereditary elites. Maize was now the primary food crop. Perhaps most importantly, the ancient animal-focused and hunting-based religion and cosmology were being replaced by solar and warfare iconography, consistent with societies dependent on agriculture, and whose elites were increasingly in competition with one another. This volume synthesizes the research on what happened during this era and how these changes came about while analyzing the period's archaeological record.In gathering the latest research available on the Woodland Period, the editors have included contributions from the full range of specialists working in the field, highlighted major themes, and directed readers to the proper primary sources. Of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists, both professional and amateur, this will be a valuable reference work essential to understanding the Woodland Period in the Southeast. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Vintage Pelican First Edition. #A147. Animal Camouflage in the Pelican edition is E.M. Stephenson and Charles Stewartâs clear, engaging introduction to how animals conceal themselves in their environments, written for readers new to the subject. They explain the main principles of camouflage, colour, pattern, mimicry and behaviour, and show how these adaptations help species avoid predators, hunt effectively and survive in varied habitats. Drawing on examples from insects, birds and mammals, the authors illustrate how camouflage evolves in response to climate, terrain and ecological pressure, keeping the tone accessible without losing scientific accuracy. The book remains a neat, informative mid-century guide to natureâs disguises and the ingenuity of animal survival.…
