Rivers of change : essays on early agriculture in eastern North America / Bruce D. Smith ; with contributions by C. Wesley Cowan and Michael P. Hoffman, and with a new introduction by the author
Organized into four sections, the twelve chapters of Rivers of Change are concerned with prehistoric Native American societies in eastern North America and their transition from a hunting and gathering way of life to a reliance on food production. Written at different times over a decade, the chapters vary both in length and topical focus. They are joined together, however, by a number of shared "rivers of change."
