{"product_id":"9781941792148","title":"Andre Leroi-Gourhan on Technology, Evolution, an - A Selection of Texts and Writings from the 1930s to the 1970s by Nathan Schlanger","description":"A selection of Leroi-Gourhan's most important texts-many translated into English for the first time.    Andr? Leroi-Gourhan is undoubtedly one of the most acclaimed figures of twentieth-century anthropology and archaeology. In France, his intellectual importance rivals that of the Claude L?vi-Strauss, yet Leroi-Gourhan's major contributions are almost entirely unknown in the Anglophone world. This collection seeks to change that. This selection highlights some of his chief influences, such as elaborating a theory of technology, which argues that material culture focuses on the object in use?and how use is a dynamic feature that has specific consequences for human evolution and human society. With serious ramifications for our understanding of material culture, putting Leroi-Gourhan's thinking about technology into English will have an immediate and transformative impact on material culture studies.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309555364213,"sku":"9781941792148","price":52.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781941792148.jpg?v=1762812319","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781941792148","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
