The Other Side of Eden: Hunters, Farmers and the Shaping of the World

This beautiful first printing hardcover is in very good condition. The book is tight, square, and unmarked, dark grey boards, and bright silver lettering on the spine of the book. The Other Side of Eden: Hunters, Farmers, and the Shaping of the World by Hugh Brody is a compelling exploration of the dichotomy between hunter-gatherer and agricultural societies, and how these two ways of life have shaped human history. Drawing from his personal experiences living with Inuit and Dene peoples in the Arctic, Brody contrasts the long-held stereotypes of hunters as nomads and farmers as settled people.
