Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New and Comprehensive Gazetteer: Being a Delineation of the Present State of the World, From the Most Recent Authorities, Arranged in Alphabetical Order, and Constituting a Systematic Dictionary of Geography IN the early ages of science, the materials requisite for the pro duction of geographical works must, necessarily, have been few, and those liable to great and prominent errors. The difficulties attending the navigation of unknown seas, or of exploring uninhabited deserts, were too great to admit of those frequent interchanges with foreign countries which have formed the basis of modern geographical discovery: yet the subject has always been attractive to a large portion of the human race. Even among the ancients, when the knowledge of geographical science was very limited, the descriptions of Herodotus, Strabo, Pliny, and others, were among the most valuable productions of those classic ages. But, in more modern times, since the method of sending out exploratory equipments has been adopted, Geography has acquired a much more important place among the various departments of human knowledge.

Download or read book Taxonomic revision of the olingos Bassaricyon with description of a new species the Olinguito written by Kristofer M. Helgen and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents the first comprehensive taxonomic revision of the olingos, Bassaricyon, based on most available museum specimens, with data derived from anatomy, mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, fieldwork, and geographic range modeling. Olingos are forest-living, arboreal, nocturnal, frugivorous, and solitary, and have one young at a time. Four olingo species can be recognized, including a Central American species (B. gabbii) and lowland species with eastern, cis-Andean (B. alleni) and western, trans-Andean (B. medius) distributions. Surprisingly, the sister lineage to all previously described species of Bassaricyon is an Andean cloud forest species, which we call the Olinguito, that has never been previously described. Bassaricyon neblina sp. n., en-demic to Colombia and Ecuador, is the smallest living member of the family Procyonidae and the first new species of Carnivora named in the American continents in 35 years. We describe four subspecies of Olinguito across the Northern Andes.
Download or read book Islands of Salt written by Konrad A. Antczak and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early-modern Venezuelan Caribbean did not lure seafarers with the saccharine delights of cane sugar but with the preserving qualities of solar sea salt. In this book, the historical archaeological study of this salty commodity offers a unique entryway into the hitherto unknown maritime mobilities and daily lives of the seafarers who camped at the saltpans of Venezuelan islands from the seventeenth to the late nineteenth centuries, cultivating and harvesting the white crystal of the sea.For the first time, this study offers a comprehensive documentary history of the saltpans of La Tortuga Island and Cayo Sal in the Los Roques Archipelago, uncovering the surprising importance of their salt. Long-term archaeological excavations at the campsites by these saltpans have brought to light the plethora of material remains left behind by seafarers during their seasonal and temporary salt forays. The exhaustive analysis of the thousands of recovered things - pipes, punch bowls, plates, teapots, buttons, bones - contrasted with documentary evidence, not only enables us to understand where these things came from but also by whom they were used. By engaging the evidence through my theoretical framework of assemblages of practice, I demonstrate how seafarers and things were vibrantly entangled in the everyday assemblages of practice of salt cultivation, dining and drinking.This multisited approach spanning 256 years, reveals that seafarers were fervent buyers of fashionable products, drinking hot tea from porcelain tea bowls, using colorful ceramic chamber pots for their hygienic needs and imbibing exotic rum punch by the scorching saltpans of the uninhabited Venezuelan islands. Intended for scholars, students and the interested public alike, this historical archaeological study positions humble seafarers in the limelight, not as the anonymous movers of international trade and facilitators of imperial interests, but as avid trans-imperial and extra-imperial consumers of the fruits of those very empires.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrations: Numerous B/w Illustrations & 1 Map Description: This work has been compiled in response to a post-war demand for Indian histories, both local and general, written by Indians. Dr Yazdani, the editor has consulted well known historians, both in Hyderabad and outside, and has chosen from among them scholars, who have already done conspicuous research on the early rulers of the Deccan, to collaborate with him in this work. The work opens with a description of the geography of the area and ends with sections on the fine arts and on the coins and currency system of the Deccan, while the eight central sections cover the early dynasties, each described in their chronological order. Notwithstanding the limited nature of the sources, mainly inscriptions the history has been compiled in all its aspects, political, social, religious, cultural and economic. As it is intended for the serious students and for the general reader, an attempt has been made to present a complete picture of all major events, whilst minor details and scholastic discussions have generally been omitted.
