The only kinds of vegetation surviving this climate are short-lived annuals and deciduous species that lie dormant in the dry season. In this inhospitable territory live the hunter-gatherer G\/wi bushmen. George Silberbauer has lived and worked among the G\/wi for over ten years. In Hunter and Habitat, he analyses the ways in which G\/wi society and culture have been shaped by the rugged natural environment. The book provides a thorough analysis of G\/wi society, describing their social, political, and economic organization, their living patterns, subsistence technology, and seasonal adaptations. In short, Hunter and Habitat describes and elucidates the foundation of G\/wi society: the interrelationships of the bushmen, their sociocultural system, and their habitat.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Note on orthography\u003cbr\u003e 1.
