Originally published in 1982, Time Resources, Society and Ecology
examines and seeks to examine the time dimension in terms of the
ecology, technology, social organization and spatial structure of
the human habitat. Approaches to time resources - sociological
time-budget studies, anthropological activity analysis, and
economic analysis of money allocation - have been limited by their
sectoral scope or their failure to relate effectively to the
processes of social interaction, technological change and
environmental structure. In this book, the book's articulation of
time resources is developed in a general theoretical framework of
action and interaction in time and space. The book examines
constraints and possibilities facing preindustrial societies and
throws light on the impact of technology on modern societies. Basic
models of time allocation are presented, and, finally, a
cross-cultural comparison is made of the mobilization of time
resources in preindustrial societies. Geographers, social
anthropologists and human ecologists should find this work directly
relevant to their interest in understanding the interactions
between man and environment.
