Human Conflict from Neanderthals to the Samburu: Structure and Agency in Webs of Violence
This book examines human conflict throughout history, the reasons behind the struggles, and why it persists. The volume delves into the causes of human conflict and what can be done about them. Based on detailed descriptions that support insightful interpretations, the book explores significant historical events in the course of human history. By pursuing a “web of violence” approach, it raises and answers questions about the sources of conflict and how it may or may not be resolved through investigations into human agency and practice. It evaluates lessons learned concerning human conflict, violence, and warfare. To illustrate these lessons, the book presents a broad geographical and temporal set of data, including research on the time of Neanderthals in Europe (20-30 thousand years ago); the Late Neolithic civilization on the Mediterranean (6-8 thousand years ago); medieval Ireland; contemporary history of the Western Dani peoples of West Papua; and, finally, recent issues in Brazil, Congo, and Kenya.
Sermons on Little-Known Gods
Thanks to faulty judgment and a bit of treacherous help, the creator god Karik has lost the First Ones, the handcrafted forebears of humankind (yep, that's them on the cover). Worse still for Karik, he is deprived of his seductive power over human women, which in times past has made these little ones worth all the trouble. With the First Ones gone missing, Karik finds humanity drifting beyond his range of control. And when the humans misbehave, Karika??s fellow gods show little patience.Enter the Rarechild Mandy and the half-god Puck. If they can locate the father Puck never knew, solve the riddle of Mandy's recurring visions, and hear a summons from across the Pacific, they'll have some slim hope of harmony between the humans and their gods.As for genre, let's call this a humorous alternative fantasy. What? There's not a shelf for that?Read more at the author's web site .
When the Edges Sing Praise: Religiosity and Aporic Liminality in Social Becoming
This book sets out to summarize the most relevant and latest data pertaining to religiosity as it is experienced within personal and communal contexts as a means of then exploring how religion and spirituality converge within states of cultural emergence and shift. By laying out three distinct case studies, respectively spanning the evolutionary, historical, and cultural applications of what anthropologists call imagistic modes of religious praxis, while also applying a Certeauian analysis of the producer-consumer dynamic to the prime movers of religion in each instance, this volume makes a compelling case for religiosity in its rawest form being an invaluable and enriching element of cultur...
