Foraging Societies
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Cultural behavior represents the most identifying characteristics with regard to determining why certain populations perform certain activities in relation to their overall survival. That early societies had little choice but to adopt a life of foraging because of their inherent proximity to available foods coupled with the limited - and sometimes nonexistent - advancement in agricultural abilities illustrates how the act of foraging signified the predominant method by which such societies as Australian Aborigines, the !Kung San of Namibia, the Nimpkish of North America and the Amazonian Yanomamö survived, as well as the progression it represented with regard to the progression into horticulture.

George Hourani's "Arab Seafaring"
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The vastness of George Hourani's "Arab Seafaring" explores well beyond the standardized version of sea trade history and its eventual impact upon the world; rather, this particular historic rendering takes myriad other elements into account when describing one of the most important episodes in commerce. While the author does, indeed, address the fundamental aspects of sea trade history as it relates to the time before Christ, the Arabs, the Indian Ocean and ultimately to China and East Africa, one might readily argue that the much more interesting components of Hourani's account stem from his detailed descriptions of other heretofore undisclosed content, such as travel particulars, geographic interests, meteorology and highly illustrative visual images of the very vessels that made these seafaring journeys over and over again. Also integral to the overall comprehensiveness of Hourani's book is the impact of lighthouses, maritime handbooks and other invaluable guiding instruments, as well as that of piracy and everyday sea life upon the sailors. Unquestionably, Arab Seafaring is one of the most exhaustive accounts of its kind that paints a complete and detailed literary picture of what it meant to be involved with seafaring commerce during these centuries.

Governing Institutions, Political And Cultural Life, Economic Infrastructure Characteristic Of Sultanates In India Between The 13th Century And The Coming Of The Mughals In 1526
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. When one examines India's historical perspective, it is often with significant consideration that the Sultanate period is credited with perpetuating change that had already begun to take place. Expanding agriculture, widespread commercial systems, slow but sure changes based upon growing technological advancements, as well as political and religious growth all played an integral role in the impact left by the Turkish/Afghan regime. According to Barbara and Thomas Metcalf, authors of A Concise History of India, these changes could not have taken place had India been what many thought to be a "stagnant society" (Metcalf et al 3), but rather could only have occurred in an ever-growing, ever-progressive civilization. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
