PDF-(BOOK)-Built on Bones: 15,000 Years of Urban Life and Death (Bloomsbury Sigma)

Humans and their immediate ancestors were successful huntergatherers for hundreds of thousands of years but in the last fifteen thousand years humans have gone from finding food to farming it from seasonal camps to sprawling cities from a few people to hordes Drawing on her own fieldwork in the Mediterranean Africa Asia and beyond archeologist Brenna Hassett explores the long history of urbanization through revolutionary changes written into the bones of the people who lived itFor every major new lifestyle another way of dying appeared From the cradle of civilization in the ancient Near East to the dawn of agriculture on the American plains skeletal remains and fossil teeth show evidence of shorter lives rotten teeth and growth interrupted The scarring on human skeletons reveals that getting too close to animals had some terrible consequences but so did getting too close to too many other peopleEach chapter of Built on Bones moves forward in time discussing in depth humanitys great urban experiment Hassett explains the diseases plagues epidemics and physical dangers we have unwittingly unleashed upon ourselves throughout the urban pastand as the world becomes increasingly urbanized what the future holds for us In a time when Paleo lifestyles are trendy and so many of us feel the pain of the city daily grind this book asks the critical question Was it worth it. .

Our perception of the Neanderthals has undergone a metamorphosis since their discovery 150 years ago, from the losers of the human family tree to A-list hominins. Spanning scientific curiosity and popular cultural fascination means that there is a wealth of coverage in the media and beyond – but do we get the whole story? The reality of 21st century Neanderthals is complex and fascinating, yet remains virtually unknown and inaccessible outside the scientific literature. In Kindred, Neanderthal expert Becky Wragg Sykes shoves aside the cliché of the rag-clad brute in an icy wasteland, and reveals the Neanderthal you don\'t know, who lived across vast and diverse tracts of Eurasia and survived through hundreds of thousands of years of massive climate change. This book will shed new light on where they lived, what they ate, and the increasingly complex Neanderthal culture that is being uncovered, up to and including the very recent discovery of verifiably Neanderthal cave art. Based on the author\'s first-hand experience at the cutting-edge of Palaeolithic research and theory, this easy-to-read but information-rich book lays out the full picture we now have of the Neanderthals for the first time, from amazing new discoveries changing our view of them forever to the more enduring mysteries of how they lived and died, and their relationship with modern humans.

In this post-natural history guide, Helen Pilcher invites us to meet key species that have been sculpted by humanity.We are now living through the post-natural phase, where the fate of all living things is irrevocably intertwined with our own. We domesticated animals to suit our needs, and altered their DNA--wolves became dogs to help us hunt, junglefowl became chickens to provide us with eggs, wildebeest were transformed through breeding into golden gnus so rifle-clad tourists had something to shoot. And this was only the beginning. As our knowledge grew we found new ways to tailor the DNA of animals more precisely we\'ve now cloned police dogs and created a little glow-in-the-dark fish--the world\'s first genetically modified pet. The breakthroughs continue.Through climate change, humans have now affected even the most remote environments and their inhabitants, and studies suggest that through our actions we are forcing some animals to evolve at breakneck speed to survive. Whilst some are thriving, others are on the brink of extinction, and for others the only option is life in captivity. Today, it\'s not just the fittest that survive sometimes it\'s the ones we decide to let live.According to the Bible, Noah built the original ark to save the world\'s creatures from imminent floods. Now the world is warming, the ice caps are melting and sea levels are rising. With nowhere wild left to go, Helen Pilcher proposes a New Ark. In this entertaining and thought-provoking book, she considers the many ways that we\'ve shaped the DNA of the animal kingdom and in so doing, altered the fate of life on earth. In her post-natural history guide, she invites us to meet key species that have been sculpted by humanity, as well as the researchers and conservationists who create, manage and tend to these post-natural creations.

Ch. 11 | Built Environment, Urban Systems, and Cities. The opportunities and resources in urban areas are critically important to the health and well-being of people who work, live, and visit there. Climate change can exacerbate existing challenges to urban quality of life, including social inequality, aging and deteriorating infrastructure, and stressed ecosystems. Many cities are engaging in creative problem solving to improve quality of life while simultaneously addressing climate change impacts..
