Seasonal fluctuations constrain the food production options of
nonindustrial peoples. How do people cope with these constraints and
what are the consequences of seasonality for human health and
well-being? The papers in this volume address these issues from a
variety of perspectives. Included are studies of physiological responses
to seasonal scarcity, seasonality research in archaeology, and
ethnographic case studies of the role of seasonality in food
procurement.
