A Prehistory of North America covers the ever-evolving understanding of the prehistory of North America, from its initial colonization, through the development of complex societies, and up to contact with Europeans.This book is the most up-to-date treatment of the prehistory of North America. In addition, it is organized by culture area in order to serve as a companion volume to “An Introduction to Native North America.” It also includes an extensive bibliography to facilitate research by both students and professionals.

A newer edition of this book is available for ordering at the following web address: https: //rowman.com/ISBN/9780759123298 Introduction to Cultural Ecology provides a comprehensive discussion of the history and theoretical foundations of cultural ecology, featuring nine case studies from around the world.

Focusing on the history and theoretical foundations of bioarchaeology, this book delves into the methods of recovering and analyzing human remains. It explores how these practices contribute to our understanding of past societies and their health, diet, and burial customs, offering insights into the interplay between archaeology and biological anthropology.

The book explores the field of archaeology, emphasizing the distinction between gathering archaeological data and interpreting it to construct a coherent understanding of prehistory. It serves as an educational resource for students, guiding them through the processes involved in uncovering and analyzing ancient histories.

Focusing on the diverse and intriguing field of archaeology, this book offers students a thorough introduction to essential concepts and methodologies. It aims to enhance their understanding of how archaeological practices reveal insights into human history and culture.

The book offers a foundational overview of the Native peoples of North America, encompassing regions that include the United States, northern Mexico, and Canada. It explores their diverse cultures, histories, and contemporary issues, providing readers with essential insights into the rich heritage and ongoing narratives of Indigenous communities.

The ocean-side community of Hidden Beach, Florida, is under attack. A series of murders has the police scrambling to find the killer, and as the body count rises, they narrow their search to Henry Watchman, pastor of Hidden Beach Community Church. Though the pastor denies having any part in the murders, he and his wife, Jenna, are hiding a terrible secret.Vincent Anderson, a young detective on the force, is bending his time and effort to catching the pastor -but the murders continue. And behind it all, a shadowy force rises from the ocean's depths. Though unseen, it pushes men and women to the brink of ruin. If not stopped, the sinister force will swamp many of Hidden Beach's citizens in a Demon Undertow .

This book offers a concise and accessible overview of cultural anthropology for those coming to the subject for the first time. It introduces key areas of the discipline and touches on its historical developments and applied aspects. As well as traditional topics such as social organization, politics, and economics, the chapters engage with important contemporary issues including race, gender, sexuality, and colonialism. In a beginner friendly format, this book is ideal for students of Anthropology, as well as for the interested reader as an introduction to the subject.
