Scale Matters: The Quality of Quantity in Human Culture and Sociality
Scale matters. So do the subjects of their work - we scale, they scale. When conducting research and writing, scholars upscale and downscale.
The contributors aim to change this: they explore the pitfalls and potentials of scaling in an interdisciplinary dialogue. Although scaling is an integrant part of research, we rarely reflect on scaling as a practice and what happens when we engage with it in scholarly work. The volume brings together scholars from diverse fields, working on different geographical areas and time periods, to engage with scale-conscious questions regarding human sociality, culture, and evolution.With contributions by Nurit Bird-David, Robert L.
