Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The concept of cultural transmission is central to much
contemporary anthropological theory, since successful human
reproduction through social systems is essential for effective
survival and for enhancing the adaptiveness of individual humans
and local populations. Yet, what is understood by the phrase and
how it might best be studied is highly contested. This book brings
together contributions that reflect the current diversity of
approaches - from the fields of biology, primatology,
palaeoanthropology, psychology, social anthropology, ethnobiology,
and archaeology - to examine social and cultural transmission from
a range of perspectives and at different scales of generalization.
The comprehensive introduction explores some of the problems and
connections. Overall, the book provides a timely synthesis of
current accounts of cultural transmission in relation to cognitive
process, practical action, and local socio-ecological context,
while linking these with explanations of longer-term evolutionary
trajectories.

The area of animal counting has historically been the subject of a
long and colorful debate, but only more recently have systematic,
more rigorous experimental efforts to evaluate numerical abilities
in animals been undertaken. This volume contains chapters from
investigators in a range of disciplines with interests in
comparative cognition. The studies described characterize the
emergence of number-related abilities in rats, pigeons,
chimpanzees, and humans, bringing together -- for the first time in
one volume -- the rich diversity of cognitive capabilities
demonstrated throughout many species. The data and theoretical
perspectives shared will likely serve to provoke much thought and
discussion among comparative psychologists and fuel new research
and interest in the field of animal cognition.
Nat thought that he was an average 15 year old, with an average
family; including a very annoying older sister; living an average
life. Nothing out of the ordinary ever happened. That is until the
day he met the mysterious Beeble, a seemingly tall, gawky teenager
with a wacky sense of humour. But all was not as it first appeared.
Meeting Beeble was to set off a series of events for Nat and his
family, which would result in life never being the same again for
any of them. Nat would learn some truths about his family, and
would discover a whole new family with whom he was connected, far
away from his Gloucestershire home. With the experience of time
travel Nat would not only learn of his family's past but by
visiting the Custard Room; he and his whole family would see what
lessons their past and futures held.
