Summary

"Ancient Stone Tools" explores how early humans crafted stone tools, revealing insights into prehistoric innovation and adaptation. By studying lithic technology, we uncover how these tools shaped early human societies and their environment. 

 
Intriguingly, the geographical distribution of different stone tool types helps trace ancient migration patterns and cultural exchanges. Understanding the nuances of stone tool analysis allows researchers to reconstruct past human activities, from hunting to woodworking. 

 
The book examines the technological processes behind tool production, functional analysis of tool use, and the distribution of tool-making traditions. It progresses from fundamental principles of lithic analysis, such as raw material identification and knapping techniques, to examining stone tool technology developments across different regions and time periods. 

 
Case studies from Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas highlight each region’s unique lithic industries. By integrating excavation records, experimental archaeology, and GIS mapping, "Ancient Stone Tools" offers a comprehensive overview of the field. 

 
This study emphasizes the evolution of stone tool technologies as a reflection of the increasing complexity of human societies and their environment, providing an up-to-date and accessible synthesis of current knowledge for students, researchers, and anyone interested in human origins and prehistoric cultures.

    When Ashley Shew became a self-described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. 
     
     
     
    In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate "technoableism"—the harmful belief that technology is a "solution" for disability; that the disabled simply await being "fixed" by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. 
     
     
     
    This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled—whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.

    “Tells the story of anger, disillusionment, and determination of Americans to develop a political movement to fight chemical pollution . . . timely.” —The Huffington PostThis book, named one of Booklist’s Top 10 books on sustainability in 2014, is the first to offer a comprehensive examination of the environmental health movement, which unlike many parts of the environmental movement, focuses on ways toxic chemicals and other hazardous agents in the environment effect human health and well-being. Born in 1978 when Lois Gibbs organized her neighbors to protest the health effects of a toxic waste dump in Love Canal, New York, the movement has spread across the United States and throughout the world. By placing human health at the center of its environmental argument, this movement has achieved many victories in community mobilization and legislative reform. In The Rise of the U.S. Environmental Health Movement, environmental health expert Kate Davies describes the movement’s historical, ideological, and cultural roots and analyzes its strategies and successes.“Kate Davies’ excellent book focuses on the role of health in the environmental health movement and encourages us to consider its origins and accomplishments . . . The Rise of the U.S. Environmental Health Movement looks both back and forward to challenge us to consider our current direction. In the future this book will provide readers with an important perspective on how the environmental health movement shaped our society.” —Toxipedia“A well-done history of America’s environmental health movement . . . offers readers valuable information on how grassroots organizing prevents harm from toxic exposures and leads to safe and healthy communities.” —Lois Marie Gibbs, Executive Director, Center for Health, Environment & Justice
