Download or read book Trade in the Ancient Sahara and Beyond written by D. J. Mattingly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saharan trade has been much debated in modern times, but the main focus of interest remains the medieval and early modern periods, for which more abundant written sources survive. The pre-Islamic origins of Trans-Saharan trade have been hotly contested over the years, mainly due to a lack of evidence. Many of the key commodities of trade are largely invisible archaeologically, being either of high value like gold and ivory, or organic like slaves and textiles or consumable commodities like salt. However, new research on the Libyan people known as the Garamantes and on their trading partners in the Sudan and Mediterranean Africa requires us to revise our views substantially. In this volume experts re-assess the evidence for a range of goods, including beads, textiles, metalwork and glass, and use it to paint a much more dynamic picture, demonstrating that the pre-Islamic Sahara was a more connected region than previously thought.

Download or read book written by Dejanirah Couto and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historical Atlas of the Persian Gulf is a joint initiative of the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in Paris, the University of Tehran, and the Documentation Centre of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran. The aim of this trilingual (French, English and Persian) publication is to trace the evolution of the cartographical representations of the Gulf between 1500 and 1750. About a hundred printed and manuscript maps from libraries and archives all over Europe, the United States and Iran have been gathered, some of them being published for the first time. The maps and charts are presented in five sections dedicated to Portuguese, Dutch, French, English and German cartography. Each item is published with enlarged detail reproductions showing the Gulf, and accompanied by brief commentaries as well as transcriptions of the place names and legends. The authors make numerous suggestions as to how the maps and charts developed in the context of international scientific exchange during the Early Modern age. Hence, the Atlas shows new perspectives on the genealogy of Gulf maps and provides an excellent working tool for future research on the cartography and the history of one of the Worlds great strategic areas.
Download or read book Trade and Exchange written by Carolyn D. Dillian and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before the advent of the global economy, foreign goods were transported, traded, and exchanged through myriad means, over short and long distances. Archaeological tools for identifying foreign objects, such as provenance studies, stylistic analyses, and economic documentary sources reveal non-local materials in historic and prehistoric assemblages. Trade and exchange represent more than mere production and consumption. Exchange of goods also led to an exchange of cultural and social experiences. Discoveries of the sources of alien objects surpass archaeological expectations of exchange and geographic distance, revealing important technological advances. With thirteen case studies from around the world, this comprehensive work provides a fresh perspective on material culture studies. Evidence of ongoing negotiation between individuals, villages, and nations provides insight into the impact of trade on the micro-, meso-, and macro-level. Covering a wide array of time periods and areas, this work will be of interest to archaeologists, anthropologists, and anyone working in cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Let Talakadu be covered by sand, let Malangi become a whirlpool and may the kings of Mysore not have any heirs.’ Is there any power behind the curse? Would you believe if people say that Narayanrao's ghost still calls for help, and the sound of “Kaka Mala Vachva” can be heard on full moon nights after his brutal murder 200 years ago? Is this an alien spacecraft or ancient buried site? Is it a deception of alien visiting our planet during the pre-historic era? Could this be an optical illusion? Maybe, the road goes downhill, but it seems going up or maybe, these hills have magnetic power and defy the law of gravity. To find out answers to all these questions, I travelled to some of the unexplored and unheard places. Did I find my answers? Are these just myths and rumours? Read Curiously Wandering – a journey of exploring the unexplored in twenty-three travel tales.
Download or read book Annual Bibliography of Indian Archaeology written by E.C.L. During Caspers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When in 1925 the initiative was taken by the Kern Institute Leiden to start the publica tion of an Annual Bibliography of Indian Archaeology, the Board of the Institute could do so with confidence, as it was sure of the assistance of scholars all over the world as to the supply of publications as well as of information. With the help of this material a bibliography could be compiled by a small team of highly skilled archaeologists who could devote part of their time and attention to such a task for the benefit of their colleagues in all parts of the world. Times since then have changed, and circumstances have become less and less favourable. To find classified labour for the compilation and editing of such a bibliography has become extremely difficult, and this the more so as this work cannot be paid in accordance with the standards for this branch of classified documentation. The work has to be done as a part of the daily routine work even a scholar in today's time is expected to perform, and which he cannot but consider as being detrimental to the performing of those parts of his work, that demand the use of those qualifications that actually make him the expert.

Simple, that is, until bazookas start going off and Garikai gets more than he bargained for. While Tsholofelo, a senior detective of the Botswana Police Service, is on the case for her country, Garikai is forced to improvise to stay ahead of an assassin's bullet or scientist's syringe. Garikai and Tsholo, an unlikely pair, are forced to team up and together, they uncover a truth that will shake both nations to their cores.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning. Meaning is not to be discovered. It has to be created. So here I choose to work with kids with diverse learning needs, when I made a connection with a student with severe autism while working with different people during college. I have enjoyed working with all the differently abled children. Although it took a while and took many trials, I was finally able to find a way to communicate with them, and this feeling is really amazing. It was and is very rewarding and also a bit challenging as you may have to try several strategies before you find one that works. One of the most important things for me as an educator is to always talk to my students about how all individuals have their strengths and areas that they find challenging. Sometimes they can express and sometimes you need to teach them how to do so. While supporting students with special needs, we need to point out and celebrate their strengths more and more often. They need to believe that everyone learns differently and sometimes it's going to take more effort or more time for them to do certain things, which is OKAY. What's important is that they learn to advocate for themselves as they get older and state when they don't understand something or ask for help when they need it.
