The Evolutionary Biology of the Human Pelvis
This book provides a synthetic overview of all evidence concerning the evolution of the morphology of the human pelvis, including comparative anatomy, clinical and experimental studies, and quantitative evolutionary models. By integrating these lines of research, this is the first book to bring all sources of evidence together to develop a coherent statement about the current state of the art in understanding pelvic evolution. Second, and related to this, the volume is the first detailed assessment of existing paradigms about the evolution of the pelvis, especially the obstetric dilemma. The authors argue that there are many 'dilemmas', but these must be approached using a testable methodology, rather than on the proviso of a single paradigm. The volume clearly contributes to greater scientific knowledge about human variation and evolution, and has implications for clinicians working within reproductive health. A thought-provoking read for students, researchers and professionals in the fields of biological anthropology, human evolutionary anthropology, paleoanthropology, bioarchaeology, biology, developmental biology and obstetrics.
The Evolutionary Biology of the Human Pelvis
Synthesizes and re-examines the evolution of the human pelvis, which sits at the interface between locomotion and childbirth.
The Auerbach Family
Genealogy of the Auerbach family from the beginnings of the family, with one David Tevele Auerbach (fl. 1575) of Vienna, to the present. the Auerbachs lived primarily in Poland and Germany until the Holocaust. Today the family is widely dispersed with about half of the known members in Israel. Includes the Goldschmidt, Spierer, Hirsch, Wolf, Cahn, Fränkel, Loeb and other allied families.

The Foragers of Point Hope
On the edge of the Arctic Ocean, above the Arctic Circle, the prehistoric settlements at Point Hope, Alaska, represent a truly remarkable accomplishment in human biological and cultural adaptations. Presenting a set of anthropological analyses on the human skeletal remains and cultural material from the Ipiutak and Tigara archaeological sites, The Foragers of Point Hope sheds new light on the excavations from 1939–41, which provided one of the largest sets of combined biological and cultural materials of northern latitude peoples in the world. A range of material items indicated successful human foraging strategies in this harsh Arctic environment. They also yielded enigmatic artifacts indicative of complex human cultural life filled with dense ritual and artistic expression. These remnants of past human activity contribute to a crucial understanding of past foraging lifeways and offer important insights into the human condition at the extreme edges of the globe.
Correspondencia Walter Benjamin - Erich Auerbach
Creo poder afirmar que la amistad develada en estas cartas implicaba un conocimiento relativamente profundo de sus respectivos trabajos, cuyos temas, por lo demás, se cruzaron en más de una ocasión. Walter Benjamin y Erich Auerbach fueron grandes misivistas, bella palabra que para la RAE todavía no existe. Sus cartas son el testimonio no solo de una amistad en tiempos de horror, sino de sus respectivas supervivencias. Ellas testimonian tanto una amistad prácticamente desconocida para gran parte de la intelectualidad contemporánea, como la muerte de una época en que la redacción de cartas tenía un lugar central.
The Evolutionary Biology of the Human Pelvis
"Lately, a number of interesting and innovative investigations have started to approach the pelvis and pelvic variation from different perspectives, including developmental, demographic and phylogenetic, as well as functional from the perspectives of tasks other than unloaded, level walking, like burden transport and a combination of arboreality and terrestriality. Additionally, as technology improves, we have begun the vast task of actually quantifying the variation of this complex three-dimensional shape and comparing across and between populations. All of these different studies - functional, morphological, developmental - offer important clues towards a better understanding of hominin evolution, sexual dimorphism, morphological modularity and development constraints. In this volume, people at the forefront of work on the pelvis will process and expand our knowledge in order to explain the evolutionary mechanisms acting on hominin pelvic morphology"--

The Foragers of Point Hope
Sixty years after their discovery, this is the first anthropological synthesis of the ancient Arctic foragers of Point Hope, Alaska.
Los Primeros Mexicanos
"This book presents a synthesis of Mexican Paleoindian archaeology with an emphasis on the state of Sonora. The author uses extensive primary data concerning specific artifacts, assemblages, and other Mexican and Sonoran Paleoindian archaeology to demonstrate the insignificance of current international borders to the earliest peoples of North America"--Provided by publisher.
