Notes: Conference papers.  “The many interesting questions raised in this book fall into two classes.  One set considers what children’s lives were like, and the other addresses the cultural construction of childhood.  Included in the first set are studies of children’s physical condition–their mortality rates, nutrition, and health–and their sociocultural situation–their activities and social status.  The other focuses on a specific society’s perception of a subadult or the point of transition from child to adult–how are these conceptions defined and marked?”  (From the Introduction)
