Synopsis: Part of a series by Dopp on the industrial and social history of the country."This volume makes clear to the child how people lived before they had fire, how and why they conquered it, and the changes wrought in society by its use. The simple activities of gathering food, of weaving, building, taming fire, making use of stones for tools and weapons, wearing trophies, and securing cooperative action by means of rhythmic dances, are here shown to be the simple forms of processes which still minister to our daily needs." And, the author is compelled to mention in her Preface, "In order to gain cumulative results of value in explaining our own institutions, the materials used have been selected from the life of Aryan peoples. Information regarding the early stages of Aryan life is meager. Enough has been established, however, to enable us to mark out the main lines of progress through the hunting, the fishing, the pastoral, and the agricultural stages, as well as to present the chief problems that confronted man in taking the first steps in the use of metals, and in the establishment of trade."
Overall Condition: Acceptable: The book has obvious wear to the cover, but its integrity is intact. There is no writing in the margins or underlining and highlighting of text, and there are no missing pages or anything that would compromise the legibility or understanding of the text. See images.
