Reviews
From the reviews:
"This volume provides a detailed and thorough synthesis of the literature regarding the interplay between human populations and the characteristics and properties of their local environments, both physical and cultural. … The volume is to be commended for its breadth and depth of detail and debate, and the publishers are to be congratulated for the inclusion of such a good quality and explicitly human volume within a broader ecological studies series." (Sonia R. Zakrzewski, Economics & Human Biology, Vol. 5 (2), 2007)
"Holger Schutkowski’s important biocultural synthesis explores the duality between cultural strategies of human resource use and their biological ramifications in both past and present contexts. Indeed, Schutkowski’s synthesis succeeds on a number of fronts and is an important contribution that students of human ecology and archaeology will no doubt heed for years to come. … The book explores a wide diversity of case studies within a theoretical systems-based framework." (John Krigbaum, Journal of Archaeological Science, Vol. 35, 2008)
