Case studies from historic California, Medieval Iceland, ancient Mesoamerica, ancient Nubia, Colonial El Salvador, the prehistoric Levant, pre-Columbian Amazon, Africa's historic central Sahel, and ancient Peru, offer perspectives on how societies adapted to these liminal spaces.--Provided by publisher.
