The Internal Flame by Roderick Mulgan
Prehistoric economic relationships are often presented as genderless, yet mounting research highlights the critical role gendered identities play in the division of work tasks and the development of specialized production in pre-modern economic systems. In Gendered Labor in Specialized Economies, contributors combine the study of gender in the archaeological record with the examination of intensified craft production in prehistory to reassess the connection between craft specialization and the types and amount of work that men and women performed in ancient communities.Chapters areorganized byfour interrelated themes crucial for understanding the implications of gender intheorganization of craft production: craft specialization and the political economy, combined effort in specialized production, the organization of male and female specialists, and flexibility and rigidity in the gendered division of labor.Contributors consider how changes to the gendered division of labor in craft manufacturealtered other types of productionor resulted from modifications in the organization of production elsewhere in the economic system.
Striking a balance between theoretical and methodological approaches and presenting case studies from sites around the world, Gendered Labor in Specialized Economies offers a guide to the major issues that will frame future research on how men s and women s work changes, predisposes, and structures the course of economic development in various societies.

Mulgan, Roderick: - Roderick Mulgan has been a doctor for a quarter century and is a Fellow of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners. Over the last decade he has developed a multi-doctor practice that services aged-care facilities.

With barrister Stephen Iorns he has founded LifeGuard Health(R), which markets LifeGuard Essentials(R), a supplement that delivers several of the nutraceuticals outlined in this book. Stephen has both professional and personal interests in health and nutrition. Dr Mulgan is also a practising barrister, and met Stephen at Victoria University School of Law.
