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: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a spirited debate between two renowned scholars on the merits of Capitalism vs. Socialism for the working class. The discourse begins by defining each system, establishing the foundation for their ideological differences. The author delves into the historical context of Capitalism, highlighting its advancements and shortcomings. Capitalism is credited for fostering technological innovation, economic growth, and improved living standards. However, the author also acknowledges the system's flaws, including economic inequality, exploitation of labor, and the potential for financial crises. In contrast, Socialism is presented as an alternative system designed to address these concerns, aiming for equitable distribution of wealth and democratic control of the economy. The author presents a thorough analysis of both systems, exploring their implications for wages, working conditions, and personal liberty. They provide historical examples and case studies to support their arguments, demonstrating the strengths and weaknesses of each system in practice. The book concludes with a thought-provoking examination of the future of work and the potential for alternative economic models to address the challenges faced by both Capitalism and Socialism. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
