Human: Origins Body Mind Culture Peoples Introduction
A wonderful work published by DK Smithsonian Institution, this paperback is in VG condition with very minor wear on the cover edges. All pages are clean and tight.
One description of the book said "Exploring the unique qualities and characteristics shared by all human beings, this richly illustrated study looks at what it means to be human, profiling the more than 250 different peoples inhabiting Earth, highlighting the diversity of human culture and society, and discussing everything from human evolution and biology to the future of humankind."
Another said "One of the defining characteristics of humanity is our profound curiosity about ourselves and others like us, and this lush book does an exquisite job of satisfying that curiosity. The volume strikes a fine balance between comprehensiveness and readability. Everywhere the eye falls sharp images, informative captions and easily digestible chunks of information capture the readers attention. Color-coded boxes containing facts, historical details, profiles and more combine with the general layout to ensure that there is always one more thing for the reader to investigate, making this book hard to put down (though its heft makes it hard to hold up)". $10
