{"product_id":"on-deep-history-and-the-daniel-lord-smail-9780520258129","title":"On Deep History and the Brain","description":"When does history begin? What characterizes it? This brilliant and beautifully written book dissolves the logic of a beginning based on writing, civilization, or historical consciousness and offers a model for a history that escapes the continuing grip of the Judeo-Christian time frame. Daniel Lord Smail argues that in the wake of the Decade of the Brain and the best-selling historical work of scientists like Jared Diamond, the time has come for fundamentally new ways of thinking about our past. He shows how recent work in evolution and paleohistory makes it possible to join the deep past with the recent past and abandon, once and for all, the idea of prehistory. Making an enormous literature accessible to the general reader, he lays out a bold new case for bringing neuroscience and neurobiology into the realm of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Lord Smail\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520258126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520258129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2008 pg. 914","brand":"Daniel Lord Smail","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056215847167,"sku":"9780520258129","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1740e074-f5a8-4c43-824f-7db6d2f05d93.jpg?v=1685040137","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-deep-history-and-the-daniel-lord-smail-9780520258129","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
