Synopsis

Stone Age Skills explores the fascinating world of prehistoric stone tool production, revealing how early humans transformed raw stone into essential tools that shaped their survival and cultural development. The book meticulously analyzes the lithic reduction sequences, the step-by-step process of creating tools, and investigates the cognitive demands involved, such as planning and spatial reasoning. This reveals the profound connection between human intellect, physical skill, and the material world during the Stone Age, highlighting the ingenuity of our ancestors.

The book uniquely combines traditional archaeological analysis with experimental replication, offering readers a hands-on understanding of knapping techniques. Starting with the basic principles of stone tool analysis, it progresses through detailed descriptions of various lithic reduction methods used to create different tool types. Experimental chapters provide direct insights into the physical demands of tool-making, culminating in an analysis of the cognitive skills required. The book's approach allows you to "re-think" the development of technology.

Drawing upon decades of research, Stone Age Skills presents detailed analyses of stone tool assemblages from key archaeological sites, complemented by experimental knapping projects. The book makes interdisciplinary connections with cognitive science, geological sciences, and paleoanthropology, providing a comprehensive overview of stone working techniques and offering new perspectives on the evolution of human technology.

Circumtrauma

Jumoke Verissimo

From one of Africa’s most acclaimed writers, poetry about the Nigeria-Biafra war 
Everyone carries a piece of the war within them: what happens when we neglect to consider each individual’s story? The Nigeria-Biafra War (1967–70) erupted when the southeastern region of Nigeria, known as Biafra, declared independence. It was a major conflict; however, this war remains largely absent from official historical accounts. While victims have passed down their experiences across generations, the official silence and the dominance of narratives from larger ethnic groups have perpetuated stereotypes that diminish the suffering of some victims. The differing narratives that are absent from history books continue to divide and polarize social groups within Nigeria and beyond.  
Weaving together cut-ups and redactions from personal narratives, historical accounts, and reflections on the enduring impact of war, and with raw language and searing imagery, the poems in Circumtrauma grapple with loss, resilience, and the search for healing amidst the fractures of deep-seated divisions.  
This collection compels readers to confront the profound and often-silenced complexities of history, the intergenerational weight of inherited suffering, and the urgent need to acknowledge the diverse experiences and perspectives of all those impacted by the tragedy of war. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to bear witness to the human condition, offering a path towards healing and reconciliation.
