Current Anthropology Volume 22, Number 6 complete issue. First edition. Harris's cultural materialistic strategy of research must be more explicit in recognizing that it deals with nonlinear events that are constantly modified by natural-selective processes. These processes require a different kind of explanation, called here "selection explanation." Moreover, the tripartite notion of infrastructure/structure/superstructure and the mental/behavioral, emic/etic, and culture/nature dichotomies do not allow unambiguous classification of elements pertaining to the various categories. Different criteria based on conformance with laws of energy are proposed. Condition: Spine heal bumped and rubbed, corners gently bumped, rubbed and creased else very good.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Type: Book This book is a study of the relationship between the use of energy in society and the general pattern of development in Great Britain during the 1870-1914 era. Professor Adams argues that Britain's apparent 'decline' in this period was not in fact a decline but a levelling off in capacity to do work, a result of the country's collective decision to invest more heavily abroad than at home. This pattern accords with Lotka's general energetic principle of natural selection. Specifically, Britain found it necessary to invest abroad, thereby creating an industrial environment for its own products and giving the impetus to other industrial nations - especially the United States and Germany - to seriously threaten Britain's primary position in industry and trade. The book should be of interest to those concerned with development, economic growth, energy and society, cultural development, and in general to specialists in anthropology, sociology, European and British history, economics and economic history.
