Coming Home to the Pleistocene【電子書籍】[ Paul Shepard ]
<p>Paul Shepard was one of the mprofound and original thinkers of our time. Seminal works like <em>The Tender Carnivore and the Sacred Game</em>, <em>Thinking Animals</em>, and <em>Nature and Madness</em> introduced readers to new and provocative ideas about humanity and its relationship to the natural world. Throughout his long and distinguished career, Paul Shepard returned repeatedly to his guiding theme, the central tenet of his thought: that our essential human nature is a product of our genetic heritage, formed through thousands of years of evolution during the Pleistocene epoch, and that the currsubversion of that Pleistocene heritage lies at the heart of today's ecological and social ills. </p> <p>Coming Home to the Pleistocene provides the fullest explanation of that theme. Completed just before his death in the summer of 1996, it represents the culmination of Paul Shepard's life work and constitutes the clearest, maccessible expression of his ideas. <em>Coming Home to the Pleistocene</em> pulls together the threads of his vision, considers new research and thinking that expands his own ideas, and integrates material within a new matrix of scientific thought that both enriches his original insights and allows them to be considered in a broader context of currintellectual controversies. In addition, the book explicitly addresses the fundamental question raised by Paul Shepard's work: What can we do to recreate a life more in tune with our genetic roots? In this book, Paul Shepard presents concrete suggestions for fostering the kinds of ecological settings and cultural practices that are optimal for human health and well-being. </p> <p>Coming Home to the Pleistocene is a valuable book for those familiar with the life and work of Paul Shepard, as well as for new readers seeking an accessible introduction to and overview of his thought.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
