Reviews
Advance Praise: Robert Kelly's book is a lodestone for hunter-gatherer studies, and this revised edition ensures that it will remain so for years to come. All of us who study hunter-gatherer societies, from undergraduates to seasoned researchers, will benefit from reading it. - Eric Alden Smith, University of Washington This revision, like the original Foraging Spectrum, is an extraordinary anthropological work. Its global comparative scope, theoretical detail, empathy toward foraging peoples, and accessibility for all readers make this volume totally unique. Not only is this the authoritative reference on hunter-gatherer socioecology, it is also a delight to read. - Bram Tucker, University of Georgia Ever the myth-buster, Kelly targets simplistic views of foragers as the 'people whom time forgot.' Crafted within the paradigm of human behavioral ecology, this fresh edition privileges diversity and foregrounds the newest thinking on technology, demography, sharing practices, reproductive ecology, and the development of inequality. Retaining the unique fusion of empirical and theoretical, this timely update makes The Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers the best single source on hunter-gatherer behaviors, past and present. - David Hurst Thomas, American Museum of Natural History
'Using Latin America as a case study, Kaplan clearly explains the interplay between economics and politics in the international arena … A thoroughly analytical work with the potential to transform thinking about globalization and austerity measures worldwide. Summing up: highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate, graduate, research, and professional collections.' L. O. Imade, Choice
