""The discovery of the first species of African hominin, Australopithecus africanus, from Taung, South Africa in 1925, launched the study of fossil man in Africa. New discoveries continue to confirm the importance of this region to our understanding of human evolution. Outlining major developments since Raymond Dart's description of the Taung skull and, in particular, the impact of the pioneering work of Phillip V. Tobias, this book will be a valuable companion for students and researchers of human origins. It presents a summary of the current state of palaeoanthropology, reviewing the ideas that are central to the field, and provides a perspective on how future developments will shape our knowledge about hominin emergence in Africa. A wide range of key themes are covered, from the earliest fossils from Chad and Kenya, to the origins of bipedalism and the debate about how and where modern humans evolved and dispersed across Africa"--"

"Kajian-kajian tentang pelacuran di Indonesia,seperti halnya penelitian gender dan perempuan pada umumnya, lebih terfokus pada masa abad ke-20. Kajian-kajian tersebut memfokus pada konteks lokal yang spesifik dan kurang melakukan perbandingan secara lebih luas. Tulisan ini mencoba memberikan dasar historis dan komparatif yang lebih mendalam untuk mendiskusikan pelacuran di Indonesia dengan menempatkannya dalam kerangka perdagangan global di Asia Tenggara antara abad ke-17 dan 18...[...] Penelitian akhir-akhir ini tentang gender dan seksualitas hampir selalu melihat 'perubahan' sebagai sebuah fenomena modern. Tulisan ini berpendapat bahwa asal mula pelacuran di Indonesia dapat dilacak ke masa sebelum abad ke-19, pada masa ketika urbanisasi, perbudakan, kehadiran orang-orang asing, dan pertumbuhan komersialisasi mentransformasikan masyarakat-masyarakat lokal. Sampai sekarang, perempuan miskin dan tidak terdidik masih sering melihat partisipasi dalam perdagangan seks sebagai satu-satunya cara untuk mempertahankan kelangsungan ekonomi mereka."
