Produktbeschreibung
Drawing examples from around the world and across the archaeological record, Moore recounts the cultural development of the uniquely human imperative to build and maintain domestic dwellings-homes. From the earliest evidence for shelters and domestic activity to the housing needs of nomads to the process of increasing sedentism and adjustments to "apartment" living, Moore describes how the concept of home has anchored multiple aspects of the human experience during the past 100,000 years. He argues that dwellings became an essential part of the cultural toolkit that allowed humans to spread worldwide. Homes have been used to both unite and divide people. The book is divided into several thematic sections: Starter Homes (caves and camps), Mobile Homes (nomadism), Gated Communities, etc.
