We were contacted by the seller letting us know they shipped it and they were very courteous regarding the fact that I needed it expedited and took it into consideration in the e-mail. Felt very personalized. Great place to buy from and I will make it a point to purchase from them again. As for the book.. it's a daunting looking book but not as horrid as far as appearances go.

The Norton Reader An Anthology of Nonfiction 13th Edition is a big book. When I first saw it I was a bit scared of it. But the stories are wonderful and worth the read. Do not try to read it all in one shot but take time to appreciate the stories. The book came new, and now sits in my book shelf a bit worn out after a year of flipping through it's pages and annotating. It came on time and with no issues.

Religion in Human Evolution, Robert N. Bellah PDF ebook Download

Religion in Human Evolution: From the Paleolithic to the Axial Age by Robert N. Bellah is a work of extraordinary ambition—a wide-ranging, nuanced probing of our biological past to discover the kinds of lives that human beings have most often imagined were worth living. It offers what is frequently seen as a forbidden theory of the origin of religion that goes deep into evolution, especially but not exclusively cultural evolution.

How did our early ancestors transcend the quotidian demands of everyday existence to embrace an alternative reality that called into question the very meaning of their daily struggle? Robert Bellah, one of the leading sociologists of our time, identifies a range of cultural capacities, such as communal dancing, storytelling, and theorizing, whose emergence made this religious development possible. Deploying the latest findings in biology, cognitive science, and evolutionary psychology, he traces the expansion of these cultural capacities from the Paleolithic to the Axial Age (roughly, the first millennium BCE), when individuals and groups in the Old World challenged the norms and beliefs of class societies ruled by kings and aristocracies. These religious prophets and renouncers never succeeded in founding their alternative utopias, but they left a heritage of criticism that would not be quenched.

Bellah’s treatment of the four great civilizations of the Axial Age—in ancient Israel, Greece, China, and India—shows all existing religions, both prophetic and mystic, to be rooted in the evolutionary story he tells. Religion in Human Evolution answers the call for a critical history of religion grounded in the full range of human constraints and possibilities.
