33-49 pages with tables and graphs. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Revista Mexicana de Sociologia Volume LII (52) Number 1 complete issue. First edition. Although fertility levels in Latin America are not cause for concern at the present time there as yet no satisfactory explanations as to how the current situation has arisen. Progress in this area would make it possible to understand the reasons for the continuing existence of groups which have not begun or completed the fertility transition alongside others which re almost at replacement level. On the basis of an earlier study which described the women who pioneered reproductive change in Mexico, the present analysis seeks to determine, on the one had the reasons why those women voluntarily chose to regulate their fertility and, on the other the methods they used.

xv+185pp with frontispiece, 39 photos, 106 drawings & maps, appendixes and index. Quarto (10 1/4" x 7 1/2") issued in brown cloth with gilt letter. Foreword by Robert A Benfer, illustrations by Bernardino Ojeda E. 1st edtion.Gold, pomp, and circumstances surrounded the mummies of Inca emperors, but the elaborate funerary rites at the end of prehistory were only part of a tradition that began thousands of years earlier. Life and Death at Paloma, the first in-depth treatment of burials from a preagricultural South American village, analyzes the life of its people during a revolutionary time in prehistory: the transition from a hunting-gathering-fishing way of life to a more sedentary horticultural society. Drawing upon the data that he collected as part of the University of Missouri's excavations at Paloma, Jeffrey Quilter gives us the first study of preceramic Peruvian life through his analysis of this site's graves and contents. His extensively illustrated book is also the first attempt to infer…

The site is situated on the Izapa River, a tributary of the Suchiate River, near the base of the Tacaná volcano, the sixth tallest mountain in Mexico. Izapa gains its fame through its art style.

Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1996 192 pages with plates (174 in color), map, bibliography, and index. Quarto (112 1/4" x 9") issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine. 1st edition. In ancient Egypt the strategy to achieve life after death relied on hieroglyphs, which united art and writing to help fulfill this ambition. this lavishly illustrated work tells the history of the texts that, through 3,000 years, were designed to ensure survival after death. Stephen Quirke sets out the history of the texts designed to guarantee life beyond death, from the Pyramid Texts for kings and queens, c2400 BC, to the Book of the Dead used by king and subject alike after 1600 BC. The literature that flourished for millennia met its end under the combined pressures of Greek-speaking government, Roman occupation and conversion to Christianity. Although Books of the Dead and other funerary manuscripts form the great bulk of surviving Pharaonic texts, no up-to-date survey of this material has been…
