Lifelines from our past : a new world history / L. S. Stavrianos

by Leften Stavros Stavrianos

This work analyses world history from the paleolithic era to the twenty-first century, categorising human experience into kinship, tributary, and capitalist societies. It examines how the issues of ecology, gender, social relations, and war shape past and future epochs.

brief_description
From Library Journal: Stavrianos surveys world history and assesses the impact of social and technological change on people's relation to their peers and their world. He argues that human beings are not innately predisposed to either acquisitiveness or aggression. Society has shaped us to our present attitudes, and thus to our current predicament. Stavrianos paints a gloomy picture of the present: the continued exploitation of women; accelerating ecological devastation; a widening gap between rich and poor in affluent societies and between rich and poor societies; the specter of nuclear obliteration. "The basic problem in contemporary society is the priority given to productivity . . . as against sustaining a healthy social environment." This book packs a punch. Recommended for most collections. - David Keymer, SUNY Inst. of Technology, Utica Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
