A collection of writings by Generalfeldmarschall Alfred Graf von
Schlieffen, one of Imperial Germany's more intriguing figures.
Schlieffens 15 years as Chief of the general staff left his mark
upon both military and political institutions within Wilhelmine
Germany. Despite never having written a comprehensive work of
theory, his ideas have inspired countless written articles in
support and many argue that his theories brought ruin to Germany
and much of Europe. This book provides translations of Schlieffen's
staff rides as well as sections from the archives not previously
published.
This volume explores the diverse ways in which the evolution of
human behaviour can be investigated, and confronts the most
challenging aspects of the subject.

The World Archaeological Congress meetings in Southampton in
September 1986 included a series of sessions on the problems of
Pleistocene archaeology. The chapters in this book derive from some
of those discussions. In particular, this volume focuses on the
problems facing prehistorians and palaeoanthropologists when trying
to understand the long-term evolution of human behaviour and the
patterns observable in the fossil and archaeological record of a
period of time stretching over several million years. It aims to
illustrate the diversity of approaches and concepts that are
required to investigate the evolution of the characteristics of
human behaviour - technology, language, symbol use, cultural
traditions, social relationships, hunting, gathering and food
production. The approaches presented range from comparisons with
non-human primates to the use of ethnographic data and computer
simulations, as well as demographic, psychological and evolutionary
models.
