Book Description
This book offers a history and cultural analysis of the supermarket and of everyday shopping in twentieth-century Australia. It discusses the rise of the supermarket in the United States and Britain, and its eventual emergence in Australia in the 1960s. This is contrasted with the demise of the counter service grocery store. As well, the views of shoppers in Australia toward the "new" supermarkets are documented through the use of oral history. More broadly, the book involves a critical discussion of what it means to live in a consumer society and of the work of cultural analysts on consumption.

ACCURATE & RELEVANT - RESEARCH BASED.......2000-02-12
This is an extremely valuable book for anyone researching or studying the Australian FMCG / grocery business.
It is very accurate and not at all self serving to the industry who are followers not leaders.
It contains a wealth of quantitative information in a structured fashion, while remaining easy to read.
It is worth buying for anyone who has anything from an assignment to a PhD to do on the topic.

Book Description
In those African, Asian, and Latin American countries where the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society is not yet complete, the agrarian question remains at the center of economic and political discourse. This volume of papers by leading economists, sociologists, and historians
presents varying interpretations of the question from a specifically Asian context. Looking in detail at China, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, this volume presents a fascinating picture of rural transformation in Asia.

The Second Edition provides a foundation upon which students can develop an understanding of our primate heritage. It features up-to-date information gained through academic training, laboratory experience and field research. This beautifully illustrated volume provides a comprehensive introductory text explaining the many aspects of primate biology and human evolution.
Key Features
* Provides up-to-date information about many aspects of primate biology and evolution
* Contains a completely new chapter on primate communities
* Presents totally revised chapters on primate origins, early anthropoids, and fossil platyrrhines
* Includes an updated glossary, new illustrations, and a revised Classification of Order Primates
* Succeeds as the best introductory text on primate evolution because it synthesizes and allows access to primary literature
Customer Reviews:
Unquestionably the best undergrad textbook.......2003-05-19
Anyone who teaches an intro to primates course will wish to assign this book to their students. There are a variety of textbooks on the subject available, and some of them are excellent. Fleagle's volume, however, is the only one that provides such a complete review of the fossil record and anatomical variation, as well as behavioral variation. It is concise, thorough, and complete, and the best of the choices available to an instructor in this subject.
a must-have.......2001-05-19
Can you study physical anthropology and not have this book? Probably not. If it hasn't been assigned to you as part of your education and you are serious about physical anthropology, you should buy this book right now. This book outlines the living primates as well as the extinct species in an easy to understand, easy to learn format. It has all the information you could ever need to know about living and extinct primates.
excellent source of reference for primatology enthusiasts.......1999-05-09
During college, I used this book extensively to gather initial information on primates. This book covers anywhere from the evolutionary relationship of primates, to the current dentition of any primate species. The book does an excellent job of cataloging primate species to be easily referenced.
