Download or read book The Nile Delta written by Katherine Blouin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume on the history of the Nile Delta to cover the c.7000 years from the Predynastic period to the twentieth century. It offers a multidisciplinary approach engaging with varied aspects of the region's long, complex, yet still underappreciated history. Readers will learn of the history of settlement, agriculture and the management of water resources at different periods and in different places, as well as the naming and mapping of the Delta and the roles played by tourism and archaeology. The wide range of backgrounds of the contributors and the broad panoply of methodological and conceptual practices deployed enable new spaces to be opened up for conversations and cross-fertilization across disciplinary and chronological boundaries. The result is a potent tribute to the historical significance of this region and the instrumental role it has played in the shaping of past, present and future Afro-Eurasian worlds.

Download or read book La necropole hellenistique de Plinthine written by Marie-Francoise Boussac and published by IFAO. This book was released on 2023-12-31 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hellenistic necropolis of Plinthine, located about 800 m west of the urban settlement of Kom el Nogus/Plinthine, on the western margins of the Alexandrian chora, was built on and in the calcarenite ridge or taenia that separates the Mediterranean from Lake Mariut. It has been celebrated as a miniature version of the great Alexandrian necropolises since the first excavations by Achille Adriani in 1937, followed by various unpublished explorations. Nevertheless, it had not been the subject of a comprehensive study combining architectural analysis and investigation of funerary practices. The policy followed by the French expedition (MFTMP)-systematic architectural survey of a necropolis too often previously analyzed through the prism of a few hypogeas, emphasis on phasing, anthropological studies-made it possible to give a more global vision of the Plinthine necropolis than that provided by earlier studies: the dead are no longer absent and the necropolis reveals a history parallel to that of the Plinthine Hellenistic town.

Download or read book Globalized Water written by Graciela Schneier-Madanes and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalized Water presents a compilation of voices that forms a unique scientific exploration of contemporary water management models and governance issues. The book describes the water paradox—how a local resource has become a global product—and the implications of this in how we identify challenges and make policy in the water sector. Over the last 20 years, the foundations of local and national water systems have been rocked by a wave of changes. The authors in this book, experts in a wide range of disciplines, address the resulting debates and issues: water as a commodity and patrimony, technological rent, liberalization and privatization, the continuing evolution of water management and policy at the European level, decision making and stakeholder participation, conflict and consensus, and the inevitable growth of counterpowers at the local and international levels, promoted by the advocates of sustainable development. The selected case studies are from Europe (primarily France but also Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Portugal), Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia), the United States, Lebanon, and India. From this diverse collection of comparative perspectives and research methods, Globalized Water seeks to advance interdisciplinary research, contributing to a new and dynamic role for social sciences and governance on water.

This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the recognition of the Whanganui River in New Zealand, the Ganges and Yamuna Rivers in India, the Yarra River in Australia and the Atrato River in Colombia as «subjects of rights», the International Observatory on Nature’s Rights has initiated a reflection on the possibility of recognizing the St. Lawrence River, the «path that walks» as it is called by the First Nations, as a «legal person». The texts in this collective work deal with the implications of attributing a legal personhood and rights to the St. Lawrence River, delve into the epistemological foundations of the paradigm of the recognition of the rights of Nature and present concrete cases of recognition of rivers as subjects of law. Written by experts from several countries where the recognition of the legal personhood of rivers has occurred to date, they take an in-depth look at the challenges and contributions of this paradigm shift in river protection. This book answers questions about the implications of such recognition and contributes to the process of building a new law that has just begun in Quebec and Canada with the adoption in February 2021 of resolutions conferring the status of «legal person» on the MagPie/ Muteshekau Shipu River located on the North Shore of Quebec and on the Nitassinan (ancestral territory) of two Innu communities, Ekuanitshit and Uashat mak Mani-utemam.

Download or read book Neighbours and Successors of Rome written by Daniel Keller and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presented through 20 case studies covering Europe and the Near East, Neighbours and Successors of Rome investigates development in the production of glass and the mechanisms of the wider glass economy as part of a wider material culture in Europe and the Near East around the later first millennium AD. Though highlighting and solidifying chronology, patterns of distribution, and typology, the primary aims of the collection are to present a new methodology that emphasises regional workshops, scientific data, and the wider trade culture. This methodology embraces a shift in conceptual approach to the study of glass by explaining typological change through the existence of a thriving supra-national commercial network that responded to market demands and combines the results of a range of new scientific techniques into a framework that stresses co-dependence and similarities between the various sites considered. Such an approach, particularly within Byzantine and Early Islamic glass production, is a pioneering concept that contextualises individual sites within the wider region. By twinning a critique of archaeometric methods with the latest archaeological research, the contributors present a foundation for glass research, seen through the lens of consumption demands and geographical necessity, that analyses production centres and traditional typological knowledge. In so doing the they bridge an important divide by demonstrating the co-habitability of diverse approaches and disciplines, linking, for example, the production of Campanulate bowls from Gallaecia with the burgeoning international late antique style. Equally, the particular details of those pieces allow us to identify a regional style as well as local production. As such this compilation provides a highly valuable resource for archaeologists, anthropologists, and art historians.

Download or read book Biologie des poissons d eau douce europ ens 2e d written by BRUSLÉ Jacques and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biologie des poissons d’eau douce européens, par son champ d’étude vaste et ambitieux, est un ouvrage de référence en ichtyologie dulçaquicole. Couvrant l’ensemble des aspects écologiques, écobiologiques, écophysiologiques et éthologiques, il dresse une présentation détaillée de 88 espèces auto- ou allochtones : morphologie, anatomie, distribution géographique, habitats, modes de vie et activités physiologiques. 453 autres espèces sont également répertoriées. Cette 2e édition a été largement revue et augmentée, compte tenu de l’importance des données scientifiques récentes. Outre des compléments utiles portant sur les habitats et les modes de vie, cet ouvrage s’enrichit des nombreux apports génétiques qui ont parfois « révolutionné » les concepts anciens relatifs aux origines paléo-historiques et paléo-géographiques des espèces. Des extensions ou des réductions de répartitions géographiques ont été consécutives à des transferts d’origine anthropique, à des dégradations physiques et chimiques et à la récente influence du Global Warming, sans oublier les changements de statut dans le domaine de la systématique. Au fil d’un livre d’une grande rigueur scientifique, abondamment illustré (dont 64 aquarelles originales et plus de 70 cartes géographiques pertinentes) et complété par un glossaire et une importante bibliographie, le lecteur abordera la connaissance des poissons européens d’une façon à la fois originale et attrayante. Cet ouvrage s’adresse à un large public : étudiants de 2e et 3e cycles en biologie, zoologie, écologie, hydrobiologie, environnement, ingénieurs et techniciens chargés de l’aménagement, de la gestion, de la qualité et de la protection des milieux aquatiques (services vétérinaires, de l’Environnement, de l’Agriculture, de l’Équipement…) auxquels il apportera les bases fondamentales nécessaires à leur action, et plus largement tous les passionnés d’ichtyofaune.

Download or read book Designed Landscapes written by Alan Tate and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed Landscapes is a case-by-case study of 37 significant, existing works of landscape design worldwide, largely constructed since the Renaissance. Being an informative and easy-to-read reference volume for practitioners and students alike, it presents key precedents in landscape architecture using site plans and recent photographs to showcase each project. Organised and presented in 12 sections based on project type, each project is examined based on date, previous site condition, designer(s), design intentions, current composition, unique features, ownership and management, and comparable projects. Each chapter offers an insightful critique of the featured projects. Written by the authors of Great City Parks, the book posits that these carefully selected key projects have maintained their status throughout the ages because they express values and design intentions that continue to inform the practice of the landscape architecture in the present day. The book concludes with a ten-point summary of lessons for professional practice gleaned from the studies. Including a wide range of case studies from countries including many in western Europe, the United States, Canada, India, Japan and China, and lavishly illustrated with over 200 full-colour images, the book is a must-have volume for anyone interested in the history and current practice of landscape architecture.
