Leading Paleoanthropologist
This is Klein's major work.Very comprehensive.He is a leading figure in paleoanthropology.But as new discoveries come in and new papers are published, revised editions of this book are necessary.For readers who have some idea of the subject only.

Klein and his school of thought are weakest on the period after c 40,000. They believe Neanderthals were exterminated.Accumulating evidence suggests that what he (and others) call "early moderns" in Europe all had manifest reduced Neanderthal traits.The Cro-Magnons have become an embarrassment to his otherwise erudite run through the evolutionary evidence.They were re-analysed as Neanderthaloid and redated as latecomers to Europe.

His writing on Neanderthals fails to fully credit them and the pre-Neanderthals, along with their diversity, for their many accomplishments, some of which continue down to modern times.This is essential reading for the serious student of paleoanthropology but not for the origin of modern Europeans.

The Human Career. 3rd. edition
What's the matter with Amazon? I click on 'Look inside the cover' of the 3rd. edition - and it brings up the 2nd. edition.
And we think Star Wars technology is going to protect us.
This is a major new publication in the field of biological anthropology. Come on Amazon, give us the contents of the latest edition, not a ten-year old edition. Pull your socks up, take your fingers out, get on the road, try to run a decent railway.

Before History Began
For the six million years before early humans evolved in a different direction from their chimpanzee cousins, there were no writings to consult about our (assuming the readers are human) evolution. This fine book fills this tremendous gap about our ancestors by examining the evidence from skeletal remains that reveal the development of human brain size, eating habits, and getting about on two legs. Klein evaluates this evidence fairly from the viewpoint of different scholars who attempt to relate this evidence to the development of human culture. The massive list of references at the back of the book cites over 2,400 books and journal articles, accompanied by a index of the pages where each reference is used in the text.If you want to knowabout human ancestors, andyou are not too overwhelmed by details clearly and fairly presented, you'll love to wander through this book.

It helps to have some knowledge
about geology, anthropology and paleantology.This book gives minutely detailed information about everything from history to bones.It should really be used as a reference.There is probably no better book on the subject, it was recommended to me by an anthropologist

Excellent and thorough
By far the most complete and up-to-date treatment of hominid evolution I have encountered.Covers every aspect of paleoanthropology, including climatic changes and dating techniques, in great detail and precision, but with language that even a non-scientist such as myself can understand.An outstanding reference book. ...

Product Description
This work explores traumatic brain injury from the perspective of long-term continuing health and social care provision within the current requirements of community care. It takes into account the development of care in the community and the responsibility of local authorities to assess and provide for long-term care needs. The book uses autobiographical accounts of TBI individuals and institutional case studies to trace "careers of care". It explores the merits of residential care and provides recommendations for future progress as well as putting forward an approach to care which can be transfered to other "outsider group" - such as those who do not fit into the major social care client groups. ...
