Download or read book Atlas des peuples d Asie m ridionale et orientale written by Jean Sellier and published by Editions La Découverte. This book was released on 2001 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Atlas des peuples d'Asie (méridionale et orientale) couvre toute la zone s'étendant de l'Inde à la Chine et au Japon, en passant par l'Asie du Sud-Est, soit plus de la moitié de l'humanité. Conçu sur le même principe que l'Atlas des peuples d'Orient, consacré à l'Asie occidentale (Moyen-Orient, Caucase, Asie centrale), il vise à éclairer l'actualité en donnant du passé un récit à la fois concis et complet dans un style très vivant, illustré de 100 cartes originales. La cohésion de l'immense nation chinoise, la tension entre l'Inde (en majorité hindoue) et le Pakistan (musulman), les forces centrifuges en Indonésie, le nationalisme vietnamien, etc. plongent leurs racines dans une histoire se comptant en siècles ou en millénaires. Histoire politique, bien sûr (de grands empires se sont faits et défaits), mais aussi histoire de diffusions linguistiques et religieuses, esquissant de grandes aires culturelles. Grâce à son système d'écriture, la culture chinoise s'est propagée en Corée, au Japon, au Vietnam. Le bouddhisme né en Inde, a gagné l'Asie du Sud-Est par la voie maritime et la Chine par la voie terrestre. Par la mer aussi, l'islam a atteint l'Indonésie (venu du Moyen-Orient via l'Inde), puis le christianisme est parvenu aux Philippines (via l'Amérique espagnole). En Asie du Sud, les Européens ont joué un rôle hégémonique au XIXe siècle et jusqu'à la Seconde Guerre mondiale (Indes britanniques, Indochine française, Indes néerlandaises...), mais nulle part leur présence n'a peu remettre en cause des identités culturelles profondément ancrées, qu'elles soient javanaise, cambodgienne ou tamoule... Il en va de même, a fortiori, au Japon ou en Chine.

This book was released on 2002-10-10 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alors qu'a pris fin le régime des taliban en Afghanistan, que perdure la guerre en Tchétchénie et que le processus de paix israélo-palestinien est au plus mal, l'Atlas des peuples d'Orient permet de comprendre l'origine et le destin des quatre grandes familles de peuples (arabe, caucasique, iranienne et turque), sans oublier les Juifs et les Arméniens, qui évoluent dans ce grand " carrefour " du monde. Naguère clos au nord par la frontière soviétique, l'espace moyen-oriental s'ouvre désormais sur le Caucase et l'Asie centrale, si bien que son centre de gravité tend à se déplacer du monde arabe (de l'Egypte à l'Irak) vers le monde turco-iranien. L'Atlas des peuples d'Asie (méridionale et orientale) couvre toute la zone s'étendant de l'Inde à la Chine et au Japon, en passant par l'Asie du Sud-Est, soit plus de la moitié de l'humanité. Conçu sur les mêmes principes que l'Atlas des peuples d'Orient, consacré à l'Asie occidentale (Moyen-Orient, Caucase, Asie centrale), il vise à éclairer l'actualité en donnant du passé un récit à la fois concis et complet dans un style très vivant, illustré de 100 cartes originales.

Download or read book Atlas du Proche Orient arabe written by Fabrice Balanche and published by PU Paris-Sorbonne. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lorsque l'on évoque le Proche-Orient, c'est avant tout pour parler des contentieux israélo-arabes. On y inclut alors les pays de cette zone de tensions : la Syrie, le Liban, la Jordanie, la Palestine et Israël. L'Egypte est sortie du Proche-Orient en signant les accords de Camp David en 1978. Espace ouvert à l'époque ottomane, interface entre l'Europe et l'Asie, la région s'est progressivement fermée. Le conflit israélo-arabe a contribué à détourner les investissements et les courants commerciaux de la région, mais surtout, il a eu une influence notable sur la formation des Etats. Syrie, Liban et Jordanie sont nés en même temps que l'Etat d'Israël. Certes, ils ont choisi des voies divergentes en matières économique et politique, mais les différences ne sont pas aussi fortes qu'il n'y paraît en raison de leur proximité culturelle. Dessiner l'unité et la diversité du Proche-Orient arabe contemporain - Syrie, Liban, Jordanie et Palestine -, voici l'ambition de cet Atlas, le premier du genre.

Download or read book Martin Waldseem ller s Carta marina of 1516 written by Chet Van Duzer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents the first detailed study of one of the most important masterpieces of Renaissance cartography, Martin Waldseemüller’s Carta marina of 1516. By transcribing, translating into English, and detailing the sources of all of the descriptive texts on the map, as well as the sources of many of the images, the book makes the map available to scholars in a wholly unprecedented way. In addition, the book provides revealing insights into how Waldseemüller went about making the map -- information that can’t be found in any other source. The Carta marina is the result of Waldseemüller’s radical re-evaluation of what a world map should be; he essentially started from scratch when he created it, rejecting the Ptolemaic model and other sources he had used in creating his 1507 map, and added more descriptive texts and a wealth of illustrations. Given its content, the book offers an essential reference work not only on this map, but also for anyone working in sixteenth-century European cartography.

Download or read book European Clocks in the J Paul Getty Museum written by Gillian Wilson and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the finest examples of European craftsmanship are the clocks produced for the luxury trade in the eighteenth century. The J. Paul Getty Museum is fortunate to have in its decorative arts collection twenty clocks dating from around 1680 to 1798: eighteen produced in France and two in Germany. They demonstrate the extraordinary workmanship that went into both the design and execution of the cases and the intricate movements by which the clocks operated. In this handsome volume, each clock is pictured and discussed in detail, and each movement diagrammed and described. In addition, biographies of the clockmakers and enamelers are included, as are indexes of the names of the makers, previous owners, and locations.
Download or read book H N i a Metropolis in the Making written by Collectif and published by IRD Éditions. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built on 'the bend in the Red River', Hà Nội is among Southeast Asia's most ancient capitals. Over the centuries, it took shape in part from a dense substratum of villages. With the economic liberalisation of the 1980s, it encountered several obstacles to its expansion: absence of a real land market, high population densities, the government's food self-suffciency policy that limits expropriations of land and the water management constraints of this very vulnerable delta. Since the beginning of the new millennium, the change in speed brought about by the state and by property developers in the construction and urban planning of the province-capital poses the problem of integration of in situ urbanised villages, the importance of preserving a green belt around Hà Nội and the necessity of protection from flooding. The harmonious fusion of city and countryside, which has always constituted the Red River Delta's defining feature, appears to be in jeopardy. Working from a rich body of maps and field studies, this collective work reveals how this grass-roots urbanisation encounters 'top-down' urbanisation, or metropolisation. By combining a variety of disciplinary approaches on several different scales, through a study of spatial issues and social dynamics, this atlas not only enables the reader to gauge the impact of major projects on the lives of villages integrated into the city's fabric but also to re-establish the peri-urban village stratum as a fully-fledged actor in the diversity of this emerging metropolis.

Download or read book Ancient Terracottas from South Italy and Sicily in the J Paul Getty Museum written by Maria Lucia Ferruzza and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ancient world, terracotta sculpture was ubiquitous. Readily available and economical—unlike stone suitable for carving—clay allowed artisans to craft figures of remarkable variety and expressiveness. Terracottas from South Italy and Sicily attest to the prolific coroplastic workshops that supplied sacred and decorative images for sanctuaries, settlements, and cemeteries. Sixty terracottas are investigated here by noted scholar Maria Lucia Ferruzza, comprising a selection of significant types from the Getty’s larger collection—life-size sculptures, statuettes, heads and busts, altars, and decorative appliqués. In addition to the comprehensive catalogue entries, the publication includes a guide to the full collection of over one thousand other figurines and molds from the region by Getty curator of antiquities Claire L. Lyons. Reflecting the Getty's commitment to open content, Ancient Terracottas from South Italy and Sicily in the J. Paul Getty Museum is available online at www.getty.edu/publications/terracottas and may be downloaded for free.
Download or read book Water Heritage written by Willem Willems and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is vital for life, and its availability has been a concern for mankind throughout the ages. Its presence has always been ascertained in a variety of ways and the development of human society everywhere is connected with various forms of water management. Man also needed to manage water to find protection from its dangers and the need for that is increasing. In the coming decades, the impact of climate change is expected to intensify floods and droughts, affect groundwater resources, raise sea levels, increase pollution and enhance the frequency and magnitude of disasters. Societies around the world are challenged to adapt to these threats to ensure water security, economic prosperity and environmental and cultural sustainability. This book deals with the heritage of water management and the use that was made of water, as well as the impact of water management on heritage. An example of the former may be an ancient irrigation system in the Filipines or in the Middle East that still functions today, while the latter may reflect the importance of maintaining groundwater levels for the preservation of organic remains on archaeological sites or of wooden piles underneath standing buildings. In either case the papers in this book reflect the dynamic nature of water, and hence the equally dynamic relation between water management and heritage. This publication follows up on a Heritage and Water conference in Amsterdam, the first of its kind. Its main purpose is to credibly present the importance and value of heritage and historical experience for water and sustainable development, and vice versa, present the importance of water management for the protection of heritage. It presents evolving insights and concepts about Water and about Heritage from a variety of disciplines, policy and public perspectives illustrated with cases studies and aims to connect decision makers with experts such as engineers, archaeologists, historians, geographers, ecologist and landscape architects
