The contributors to PRICE & GEBAUER examine the importance of resources to the development of agriculture. They also explore the complexity of existing social organizations, the shift from sedentary modes of living, and the arrival of economic competition. The work offers an historical and ecological view of traditional societies and their practices through periods of transition.
