{"product_id":"numbers-from-nowhere-david-henige-9780806190365","title":"Numbers from Nowhere: The American Indian Contact Population Debate","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the past forty years an entirely new paradigm has developed regarding the contact population of the New World. Proponents of this new theory argue that the American Indian population in 1492 was ten, even twenty, times greater than previous estimates. In Numbers From Nowhere David Henige argues that the data on which these high counts are based are meager and often demonstrably wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a wide variety of primary and secondary sources, Henige illustrates the use and abuse of numerical data throughout history. He shows that extrapolation of numbers is entirely subjective, however masked it may be by arithmetic, and he questions what constitutes valid evidence in historical and scientific scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Henige\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806190361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806190365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.22d","brand":"David Henige","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058503643391,"sku":"9780806190365","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68e75ce5-887f-45c1-8d3d-9d365e2a6aba.jpg?v=1685052938","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/numbers-from-nowhere-david-henige-9780806190365","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
