Beschreibung:
This unique interpretation of world history by renowned historian L.S. Stavrianos conceptualizes human history into three categories: kinship societies, tributary societies, and capitalist societies. Within each societal type, the author studies four lifeline issues: ecology, gender relations, social relations, and war. This revised edition looks forward to the 21st century, suggesting possible scenarios that relate to the same general lifeline issues.
This timely and provocative book looks at contemporary American women and their experiences with guns. Scrupulously balanced, this new paperback edition features a new appendix containing a wealth of primary source documents that help illuminate both the dangers and attractions of guns in our society.
