To Amazon’s credit, I didn’t find anything to add to this category yesterday. That may have been from a lack of trying, but so be it.
This morning it was easy – paging backward through the 44 screens of recommendations, I immediately came upon “Indigenous South Americans of the Past and Present: An Ecological Perspective.”
How so? “Because you rated…” – are you ready – John Keegan’s “A History of Warfare.”
Your guess is as good as mine, since the product description is full of “ecological anthropology,” “adaptive systems” and dizzying phrases like “Utilizing ethnographic and archaeological data and an update paradigm derived from the best features of cultural ecology…”
One useful data point – it is paired in the “Frequently Bought Together” with Victor Davis Hanson’s “Carnage and Culture” – are these new paradigm cultural ecologists in fact closet warmongers? There has to be an interesting research project buried in there somewhere, if the right grant can be found.
