Based on the video game series of the same name, this sci-fi
adventure directed by Justin Kurzel follows the story of Callum
Lynch (Michael Fassbender), a career criminal saved from execution
by the modern day Templars of the secretive Abstergo Industries.
Using technology called the Animus, Callum is forced to relive the
memories of his ancestor, Aguilar (Fassbender), an Assassin during
the Spanish Inquisition. Alan Rikkin (Jeremy Irons) and his
daughter Sophia (Marion Cotillard) conduct their experiments on
Callum, while he gains the skills of his ancestor to fight the
Templars of today.
This volume presents state-of-the-art empirical studies working
in a paradigm that has become known as human behavioral ecology.
The emergence of this approach in anthropology was marked by
publication by Aldine in 1979 of an earlier collection of studies
edited by Chagnon and Irons entitled Evolutionary Biology and Human
Social Behavior: An Anthropological Perspective. During the two
decades that have passed since then, this innovative approach has
matured and expanded into new areas that are explored here.
The book opens with an introductory chapter by Chagnon and Irons
tracing the origins of human behavioral ecology and its subsequent
development. Subsequent chapters, written by both younger scholars
and established researchers, cover a wide range of societies and
topics organ-ized into six sections. The first section includes two
chapters that provide historical background on the development of
human behavioral ecology and com-pare it to two complementary
approaches in the study of evolution and human behavior,
evolutionary psychology, and dual inheritance theory. The second
section includes five studies of mating efforts in a variety of
societies from South America and Africa. The third section covers
parenting, with five studies on soci-eties from Africa, Asia, and
North America. The fourth section breaks somewhat with the
tradition in human behavioral ecology by focusing on one
particularly problematic issue, the demographic transition, using
data from Europe, North America, and Asia. The fifth section
includes studies of cooperation and helping behaviors, using data
from societies in Micronesia and South America. The sixth and final
section consists of a single chapter that places the volume in a
broader critical and comparative context.
The contributions to this volume demonstrate, with a high degree
of theoretical and methodological sophistication--the maturity and
freshness of this new paradigm in the study of human behavior. The
volume will be of interest to anthropologists and other professions
working on the study of cross-cultural human behavior.
Double bill of adventure films. 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning
Thief' (2010), based on the children's books by Rick Riordan,
follows the adventures of 12-year-old New Yorker Percy Jackson
(Logan Lerman). When Percy discovers that he is the descendant of a
Greek god, he sets out on a cross-country adventure to settle an
ongoing feud between the 'Big Three', Zeus (Sean Bean), Hades
(Steve Coogan) and Poseidon (Kevin McKidd), and unravel a mystery
more powerful than the gods themselves. 'Eragon' (2006), based on
the best-selling novel by Christopher Paolini, follows the fortunes
of an orphaned farm boy, Eragon (Edward Speleers), whose life is
changed forever when a mystic stone chooses him for its keeper.
When the stone turns out to be an egg from which a baby dragon is
hatched, Eragon realises he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as
old as the Empire itself. With only an ancient sword and the advice
of an old storyteller (Jeremy Irons) for guidance, Eragon and the
fledgling dragon (voiced by Rachel Weisz) must navigate the
dangerous terrain of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no
bounds.
