About This Item
Cambridge, UK:: Cambridge University Press,, (1975). Near fine in illustrated wrappers (prev owner's name) . First printing, a trade paperback, issued simultaneously with hardcover. A book which focuses on "the enormous changes - political, social and economic - that took place during the period 500 B.C.-A.D. 1400 all over the African continent. Early chapters describe conditions about 500 B.C. when North Africa is already in the Bronze Age, Middle Africa is engaged in Stone Age farming and south of the Sahara most men live by hunting and gathering food. Between 500 B.C. and A.D. 1000 life in settled communities becomes normal throughout the continent. Finally, the Iron Age sees the rise of state systems, the development of long-distance trade and the spread of Islam and Monophysite Christianity." Illustrated with maps, photographs and figures.
