In this pioneering work, Bruce Wilshire searches for answers by giving serious attention to our genetic legacy from our hunter-gatherer ancestors as well as to the unique ways we adapt to our environment through the practice of science and the creation of art and cities. The work considers remedies for specific addictions—including drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and gambling—suggesting that wilderness exploration, in the arts, myths, and ceremonies, can help us rediscover what it means to be human creatures. Bringing together the insights of philosophy, religion, cultural anthropology, behavioral biology, and the vast socio-medical literature on addiction, Wilshire ingeniously explores the limits of our adaptive capacity and the costs of depleting the natural regenerative functions of the body.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 22mmItem Weight: 590gAuthor: Bruce WilshireGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesRelease Year: 1998 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
