Books by David N. (Professor of Geography and Intellectual History Livingstone

Livingstone concludes with contemporary examples to remind us that what scientists can say and what others can hear in different venues differ today just as much as they did in the past.

Traces the history of the idea of non-Adamic humanity, and the debates surrounding it, from the Middle Ages onwards. From heresy to orthodoxy, from radicalism to conservatism, from humanitarianism to racism, this book tells an intriguing tale of twists and turns in the cultural politics surrounding the age-old question, 'Where did we come from?'
