This collection of studies by anthropologists, botanists, ecologists, and biologists is an important contribution to the emerging field of historical ecology. The book combines cutting-edge research with new perspectives to emphasize the close relationship between humans and their natural environment. Contributors examine how alterations in the natural world mirror human cultures, societies, and languages. Treating the landscape like a text, these researchers decipher patterns and meaning in the Ecuadorian Andes, Amazonia, the desert coast of Peru, and other regions in the neotropics. They show how local peoples have changed the landscape over time to fit their needs by managing and modifying species diversity, enhancing landscape heterogeneity, and controlling ecological disturbance. In turn, the environment itself becomes a form of architecture rich with historical and archaeological significance. Time and Complexity in Historical Ecology explores thousands of years of ecological history while also addressing important contemporary issues, such as biodiversity and genetic variation and change. Engagingly written and expertly researched, this book introduces and exemplifies a unique method for better understanding the link between humans and the biosphere.

Did people from the early high cultures of Asia cross the Pacific Ocean thousands of years ago and leave their mark on societies in the ancient Americas? This was a hypothesis once seriously entertained by archaeologists and art historians, but it fell into academic disfavor in the 1960s. In this book, Carol Miller, an independent scholar, writer-journalist, and sculptress who has lived nearly half a century in Mexico City, draws our attention once again to the plausibility-indeed, the near certainty-of early trans-Pacific contacts. As she presents a startling panorama of parallels among the art, architecture, theology and astronomy of the Mayas, as viewed in relation to other peoples of the Americas, as well as those of Asia, she demonstrates the likelihood that exchanges took place between them, not occasionally but regularly and continually. From southern China, northern Vietnam, Southeast Asia and India, seasoned navigators challenged the Pacific, reached the west coast of South America and from there, north into Central America and what is now Mexico, right into the sculpture, painting, and even the social organization of the people called Mayas. Miller draws on the work of the late Austrian anthropologist Robert Heine-Geldern and his American colleague Gordon F. Ekholm, as well as the renowned Norwegian archaeologist-explorer Thor Heyerdahl, among other scholars of diffusion, thus, she claims, the spread of ideas, customs, and styles in art and design, language, calendar, even political hierarchies, from one end of the globe to the other. She reminds us that the notion of early contacts between Asia and the Americas is not new, but that it is time to dust it off and take a fresh look at the evidence. Her reminder is especially timely in light of recent finds, that demand a fresh look at everything we have ever before been taught about human evolution, patterns of migration, cultural and social development.

On February 21, 1803, Colonel Edward (Ned) Marcus Despard was publicly hanged and decapitated in London before a crowd of 20,000 for organizing a revolutionary conspiracy to overthrow King George III. His Black Caribbean wife, Catherine (Kate), helped to write his gallows speech in which he proclaimed that he was a friend to the poor and oppressed. He expressed trust that “the principles of freedom, of humanity, and of justice will triumph over falsehood, tyranny, and delusion.” And yet the world turned. From the connected events of the American, French, Haitian, and failed Irish Revolutions, to the Anthropocene’s birth amidst enclosures, war-making global capitalism, slave labor plantations, and factory machine production, Red Round Globe Hot Burning throws readers into the pivotal moment of the last two millennia. This monumental history, packed with a wealth of detail, presents a comprehensive chronicle of the resistance to the demise of communal regimes. Peter Linebaugh’s extraordinary narrative recovers the death-defying heroism of extended networks of underground resisters fighting against privatization of the commons accomplished by two new political entities, the U.S.A. and the U.K., that we now know would dispossess people around the world through today. Red Round Globe Hot Burning is the culmination of a lifetime of research—encapsulated through an epic tale of love.

Despite its small size, Belize is one of the most ecologically and culturally diverse nations in Central America. Over 3,400 species of plants can be found here, within a diversity of ecological habitats. Because of this, Belize is paradise for ecotourists, hosting over 900,000 visitors annually, who enjoy the natural habitat and friendly people of this nation. Many of the plants of Belize have a long history of being "useful," with properties that have served traditional herbal healers of the region as well as those who use plants as food, forage, fiber, ornament, in construction and ritual, along with many other purposes. With Messages from the Gods: A Guide to the Useful Plants of Belize, Drs. Michael Balick and Rosita Arvigo give us the definitive resource on the many species of plants in Belize and their folklore, as well as the natural history of the region and a detailed discussion of "bush" uses of plants, including for traditional healing and life in the forest, past and present. Both Balick and Arvigo bring important perspectives to the project, Balick as ethnobotanical scientist from The New York Botanical Garden, and Arvigo as a former apprentice to a Belizean healer and an experienced physician. The book has been decades in the making, a culmination of a biodiversity research project that The New York Botanical Garden and international and local collaborators have had in motion since 1987. Drs. Balick, Arvigo and their colleagues have collected and identified thousands of plants from the region, and have worked extensively with hundreds of Belizean people, many of them herbal healers and bushmasters, to record uses for many of the species. This collaboration with local plant experts has produced a fascinating discussion of the intersection of herbal medicine and spiritual belief in the area, and these interviews are used to compliment and contextualize the numerous species accounts presented. The book is both a cultural study and a specialized field guide; information is provided on many different native and introduced plants in Belize and their traditional and contemporary uses including as food, medicine, fiber, in spiritual practices and many other purposes. Richly illustrated with over 600 images and photographs, Messages from the Gods: A Guide to The Useful Plants of Belize will serve as the primary reference and guide to the ethnobotany of Belize for many years to come.

El 21 de febrero de 1803, el coronel Edward (Ned) Marcus Despard fue ahorcado y decapitado en Londres ante una multitud de 20.000 personas por organizar una conspiración revolucionaria para derrocar al rey Jorge III. Catherine (Kate), su esposa de origen caribeño y raza negra, le ayudó a escribir el discurso que pronunció desde el patíbulo, en el que se proclamaba amigo de los pobres y los oprimidos. En él expresó también su confianza en que «los principios de la libertad, la humanidad y la justicia triunfarán finalmente sobre la falsedad, la tiranía y el engaño».Y sin embargo el mundo giró. Desde los sucesos de las revoluciones estadounidense, francesa y haitiana, y la fallida revolución irlandesa, conectadas entre sí, al nacimiento del Antropoceno en medio de los cercamientos, el belicoso capitalismo global, las plantaciones con trabajo esclavo y la producción con máquinas en las fábricas, Roja esfera ardiente introduce a los lectores en el momento crucial de los dos últimos milenios. Esta historia monumental ofrece, con gran riqueza de detalle, una crónica extensa de la resistencia a la desaparición de los regímenes comunales. El extraordinario relato de Peter Linebaugh recupera el heroísmo de redes extensas de resistentes soterrados que, desafiando a la muerte, lucharon contra la privatización de lo común impuesta por dos entidades políticas nuevas, Estados Unidos y Reino Unido, que, ahora sabemos, seguirían desposeyendo a personas de todo el mundo hasta la actualidad. Roja esfera ardiente es la culminación de toda una vida dedicada a la investigación, condensada en un épico relato de amor.
