== Economic Prehistory: Six Transitions That Shaped The World ==

Greetings, has someone access to [https://www.cambridge.org/ch/academic/subjects/economics/economic-development-and-growth/economic-prehistory-six-transitions-shaped-world?format=HB&isbn=9781108839907 this book]? I need the chapters discussing...

For [[African humid period]]

Thanks, [[User:Jo-Jo Eumerus|Jo-Jo Eumerus]] ([[User talk:Jo-Jo Eumerus|talk]]) 20:26, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

:@[[User:Jo-Jo Eumerus|Jo-Jo Eumerus]] There seems to be only one page discussing the African humid period per [https://assets.cambridge.org/97811088/39907/index/9781108839907_index.pdf]. I can try to get it if you really think it'd be helpful, but it might be a bit of a pain. — [[User:Mdaniels5757|Mdaniels5757]] ([[User talk:Mdaniels5757|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mdaniels5757|contribs]]) 19:09, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

::Well, it depends - is it only one sentence, or something like an entire discussion? If the former, it's probably not useful. If the latter, it could be very helpful. [[User:Jo-Jo Eumerus|Jo-Jo Eumerus]] ([[User talk:Jo-Jo Eumerus|talk]]) 10:27, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

: {{u|Jo-Jo Eumerus}}, the page is viewable [https://books.google.com/books?id=IXmaEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA202 here]. If you cannot view it, the discussion is limited to a single paragraph (though I have copied the following paragraph for context):

:: '''Sub-Saharan Africa''': Northern Africa has shifted from a 'green Sahara' in the Early Holocene to a large desert today (information in this paragraph is from manning and Timpson, 2014; see also Section 4.12). The 'African Humid Period' (AHP) began around 12,000 BP, with an initial occupation by hunter-gatherers and massive growth in population density starting shortly after 11,000 BP. Pastoralists with domestic livestock appear around 8000–7500 BP. The population density decreased during 7600–6700 BP but rebounded in 6700–6300 BP, reaching a Holocene maximum. A major population followed during 6300–5200 BP at the end of the AHP.

::Data from Lake Yoa in northern Chad show that increasing aridity began around 5600 BP, with windblown sand appearing by about 3700 BP and a true desert ecosystem by 2700 BP (Kröpelin et al., 2008). Annual rainfall was about 250 mm in 6000 BP, less than 150 mm by 4300 BP, and less than 50mm by 2700 BP. Brooks (2006, 2013) offers comments on the cultural consequences of greater aridity in the Sahara after 6000 BP.

::There is also this on page 150:

::'''Saharan Africa:''' Manning and Timpson (2014) investigate population trends for the Sahara in the Holocene. The Sahara was much wetter between 12,000–6000 BP than today. This is known as the African Humid Period (AHP). In the early Holocene the region was occupied by mobile foragers, and in the mid-Holocene by pastoralists with domesticated cattle. The demographic trends include slow population growth before the AHP, a large increase shortly after 11,000 BP, a decline between 7600–6700 BP, a recover during 6700–6300 BP, and a major collapse during 6300–5200 BP. The authors were unable to show a significant correlation between population and the available climate proxies, but argue that the synchronous nature of demographic change over a large geographic area indicates a causal role for climate.

== Pevsner: Sheffield ==

{{tl|resolved}}

The Highfield Cocoa and Coffee House [https://www.hhbs.org.uk/2022/12/16/save-mappins-coffee-house/ is stated here] as being mentioned in [[Nikolaus Pevsner|Pevsner]]. Presumably either the ''Sheffield City Guide'' or ''Yorkshire West Riding: Sheffield and the South'', though I am not overly familiar with the publication. I am working on an article for the building, does anybody have a copy of either of these books to check if it's mentioned? Thanks - [[User:Dumelow|Dumelow]] ([[User talk:Dumelow|talk]]) 14:22, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

:{{ping|Dumelow}} I'm sorry to report that ''Yorkshire West Riding: Sheffield and the South'' does not mention the Highfield Cocoa and Coffee House. Perhaps another volunteer will be able to check ''Sheffield City Guide''. --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 01:29, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

::Thanks for checking [[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]], much appreciated. I don't think it'll be much more than a passing mention anyway so no worries if not; I have more than enough for an article already - [[User:Dumelow|Dumelow]] ([[User talk:Dumelow|talk]]) 06:24, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

::: {{u|Dumelow}}, it's on [https://books.google.com/books?id=JS5RbeB6dKIC&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&pg=222 page 222]. In case you can't access it, here's the paragraph: "Back up Hill Street to '''London Road''', turn S, on the E side, to the '''Old Crown Inn''', late C19 with blue and yellow moulded glazed terracotta on the ground floor and good etches glass. Opposite, on the W side, No. 136, the former '''Highfield Cocoa & Coffee House''', 1877, by ''M.E. Hadfield & Son'' for Frederick T. Mappin. Large, two storeys in brick, quite plain with round-headed windows. It contained reading rooms, billiard room and a skittle alley at the back. Further along the W side, at the corner of Sharrow Lane, the '''Natwest Bank''', part of a terrace of shops c. 1890 with ornate brickwork. Ground floor rebuilt in stone in 1909 with the Sheffield arms over the doors and pilasters with capitals in the form of carved heads at intervals along the fascia." --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 09:18, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

::::Thanks so much [[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]]. Not much there but well worth checking, I'll add it to the article - [[User:Dumelow|Dumelow]] ([[User talk:Dumelow|talk]]) 09:22, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

::::: No problem, {{u|Dumelow}}. Marking this request as {{tl|resolved}}. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 09:26, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
