Axe and Man, The, Heavin
182 Pages, 8-1/2 x 11 (Hardcover)
A vast range of axes starting with the early stone
hand axes of the paleolithic period. Since the
history of the axe is difficult to separate from
the history of man, this study has become the
history of early man’s stone and metal technology
as exemplified by his axe. Technology is not only
an important part of every culture, but it usually affects such other
aspect as the economic, political, social and religious. The degree
of advancement of man’s technology is not only reflected directly in
his tools and weapons themselves, but also in his means of agriculture,
kinds of transportation, the sophistication of his buildings and
the degree of his artistic development. Over 100 illustrations.
