How do women act when they arefreed from most household chores,economically independent of theirhusbands, and have been living apartfrom their children from the time thechildren were approximately fourweeks old? Given equal and similarsocial circumstances, do men andwomen behave in the same way inpolitics? the economy? warfare? lsequality of the sexes a viable concept,after all? Two important social scientists haveasked these questions of and aboutthe women in that provocative humanexperiment, the Israeli kibbutz. Theconclusions are startling. The result is amajor and myth exploding contribution to the literature of feminism and ofutopias. Based on the lives of 34,040kibbutz dwellers, and supported bytables, graphs, interviews, and elaborate computerized data, WOMEN INTHE KIBBUTZ provides the facts essential for a discussion, which has beenuntil now all too rhetorical, of howwomen everywhere want to live adiscussion set amid the current controversies about sex, gender, nature,and power. Here is a book that maychange the very rules of discussionabout men and women..

China's Food is a lavish, extraordinary photo essay. Photographer Reinhart Wolf journeyed for three months through the People's Republic of China to explore and discover how and why the foods eaten there are grown, chosen, bought, prepared, and served. From farm to market to kitchen to table, China's food is entwined with history, philosophy, economics - the soul of Chinese society. Food is symbol and sustenance, its meaning braided together with how it looks, tastes and nourishes. In the foods of China, all elements join. The line between food and medicine blurs: the prescription room of a Chinese pharmacy resembles a kitchen. A stand of bamboo yields stout poles for building, light rods for carrying, and tender shoots for tonight's dinner. In China, food is more than just something to eat. It carries the myths and traditions of Imperial culture.

The Imperial Animal offers a compelling perspective on the controversy over humans and their biology. This now-classic study is about the social bonds that hold us together and the antisocial theories that drive us apart. The authors divulge how the evolutionary past of the species, reflected in genetic codes, determines our present and coerces our future. This book gives us a direct and intimate look at how we see ourselves. It offers insight into our politics, our ways of learning and teaching, reproducing and producing, playing and fighting.
The authors assert that the purpose of this book is twofold: to describe what is known about the evolution of human behavior, and then to try to show how the consequences of this evolution affect our behavior today. To do this they draw from numerous disciplines―zoology, biology, history, and primatology, among others. In the new introduction, Tiger and Fox outline then- reasons for originally writing the book as well as the process they used to do their research. The Imperial Animal is a classic work that will continue to be of interest to sociologists, zoologists, biologists, and primatologists.
