How Humans Evolved uses the broad perspective of behavioral ecology, drawing on Robert Boyd's expertise in evolutionary theory and Joan Silk's specialty in primate behavior in a uniquely integrative text. For the Third Edition, the authors have revisited many chapters in depth, added new supplemental readings, and incorporated the latest archaeological findings, including coverage of the fossil cranium Sahelanthropus tchadensis, whose dating was announced in the summer of 2002. The Toumaï Fossil and Other Recent Discoveries The Third Edition has been thoroughly revised in light of important recent advances in the discipline. A new section (in Chapter Eleven) on the discovery of the Toumaï fossil, announced in the summer of 2002, appears to push back the appearance of the first hominids to over six million years. Other new additions include revised coverage of primate sociality (Chapter Six), a new presentation of primate male reproductive tactics (Chapter Seven), and a large revision to the taxonomic understanding and cataloging of the human fossil record.

W. W. Norton presents Inventing America, a balanced new survey of American history by four outstanding historians. The text uses the theme of innovation--the impulse in American history to "make it new"-to integrate the political, economic, social, and cultural dimensions of the American story. From the creation of a new nation and the invention of the corporation in the eighteenth century, through the vast changes wrought by early industry and the rise of cities in the nineteenth century, to the culture of jazz and the new nation-state of the twentieth century, the text draws together the many ways in which innovation-and its limits--have marked American history.

<p>This book, originally published in 1974 by Little, Brown and Company, is a sweeping reexamination of the economic foundations of American Negro slavery. Based upon a vast research effort, this volume constitutes an entirely new portrayal of slavery's past. It challenges traditional assumptions about the material condition and management of slaves, their work habits, domestic welfare, and the economy of the antebellum South in general.</p>
