The people who inhabited Southwest Europe from 30,000 to 13,000 years ago are often portrayed as big game hunters - and indeed, in some locations (Cantabrian Spain, the Pyrenees, the Dordogne) the archaeological record supports this interpretation. But in other places, notably Mediterranean Iberia, the inhabitants focused their hunting efforts on smaller game, such as rabbits, fish, and birds. Were they less effective hunters? Were these environments depleted of red deer and other large game? Or is this evidence of Paleolithic people's adaptability? This volume explores these questions, along the way delving into the history of the "bigger equals better" assumption; optimal foraging theory and niche construction theory; and patterns of environmental and subsistence change across the Pleistocene-Holocene transition.

When I visited my dad at the Rehab Hospital in New Jersey, there was another patient sitting beside him in a wheelchair, just in front of the Nurses' station. I was drawn to him. Out of the blue, I said, "I bet you were an excellent football player when you were young." He looked up at me, and his face broke into the kindest smile. "Yes, I was-in college," said he. "But I never became professional." After that, conversation flowed as if we were two old friends. I soon found out that Albert Andrew had lost both his parents within a year of each other, and it had devastated him. I did not ask exactly why he was in Rehab; he looked much too young to be there. I did find out, however, that he believed in God. I shared with him some sections of Scripture that pertained to Eternal life and showed that there is always hope when you trust in the Lord. At the end of our little chat, Albert held my hand. With trembling lips he said, "I have waited a long time to speak with someone like you. Thank you."

Following the theft of a Superior Intelligence Protector (SIP) from the Te Papa museum in New Zealand, twelve-year-old Michelle Jones wants to help her father, renowned Detective Alwyn Jones, with the top-secret assignment. When her father forbids her involvement, she decides to go underground as Mitch Jones, private investigator.

Mitch soon discovers that "The Case of the Missing S.I.P." is not an ordinary one. Aliens from the planet Zorb unexpectedly contact her and ask for her help. They need Mitch to reprogram their S1M1 unit, a.k.a. SIP, which contains vital information for the survival of their race. If their deadly enemy, Saja, discovers the SIP, he will destroy its sensitive database.

Now Mitch is in a pickle. Should she help her dad or her alien friends? With the aid of Dr. Marvel, a nutty retired scientist who the aliens have selected as her partner, she somehow manages to keep one step ahead of her father. Can Mitch solve the case before the aliens' enemy destroys them?

The record of human impact on world environments is undeniable; scholarship has shown that the ecosystems we live in today are structured by human behavior. Equally undeniable is the fact that events such as war, disaster, disease, or economic decay have, at various times throughout history, led to the human abandonment of particular environments. What happens to a human-structured environment when the way people use it suddenly changes? In Questioning Rebound, authors Emily Lena Jones and Jacob L. Fisher explore the archaeological record of a time when the human footprint on the land abruptly shifted: the period immediately following European contact in the Americas. During this time of disease-driven mortality, genocide, incarceration, and forced labor of Indigenous peoples, American landscapes changed in fundamental ways, producing short-lived ecosystems that later became the basis of myths about the American environments. Questioning Rebound explores the record and the causes of environmental change during the post-Columbian period, featuring case studies throughout the Americas. While both the record for and the apparent causes of the changes in the human footprint vary, the record of post- Columbian environmental change consistently reflects the environmental impacts of past social upheaval.
