Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. This collection presents, for the first time, a much-needed synthesis of the major research themes and findings that characterize the Woodland Period in the southeastern United States.The Woodland Period (ca. 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1000) has been the subject of a great deal of archaeological research over the past 25 years. Researchers have learned that in this approximately 2000-year era the peoples of the Southeast experienced increasing sedentism, population growth, and organizational complexity. At the beginning of the period, people are assumed to have been living in small groups, loosely bound by collective burial rituals. But by the first millennium A.D., some parts of the region had densely packed civic ceremonial centers ruled by hereditary elites. Maize was now the primary food crop. Perhaps most importantly, the ancient animal-focused and hunting-based religion and cosmology were being replaced by solar and warfare iconography, consistent with societies dependent on agriculture, and whose elites were increasingly in competition with one another. This volume synthesizes the research on what happened during this era and how these changes came about while analyzing the period's archaeological record.In gathering the latest research available on the Woodland Period, the editors have included contributions from the full range of specialists working in the field, highlighted major themes, and directed readers to the proper primary sources. Of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists, both professional and amateur, this will be a valuable reference work essential to understanding the Woodland Period in the Southeast.

A sweeping surveythe first of its kindof the artistic, cultural, and technological achievements of the vast Seljuq empire. Rising from humble origins as Turkic tribesman, the powerful and culturally prolific Seljuqsa dynastic tribe whose reach extended from Central Asia to the eastern Mediterraneandominated the Islamic world from the 11th to the 14th century. This groundbreaking book examines the roots and impact of this formidable empire, featuring 300 objects as evidence of the artistic and cultural flowering that occurred under Seljuq rule. Beginning with a historical overview of the dynasty, Court and Cosmos covers such topics as the rise of the Seljuq sultanate, the development of astrology and magic, the visual expression of discoveries in science, medicine, and technology, and the courtly, funerary, and literary arts. Glazed ceramics, incised glass, inlaid metalwork, handwoven textiles, illuminated manuscripts, and more are captured in new photographs. Court and Cosmos is a comprehensive study of the breadth of Seljuq achievement, illuminating the splendor of one of Islam's most magnificent dynasties and providing insights into a rich cultural tradition that has shaped the legacy of Islamic culture to this day.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea that steam is the driving force behind volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. The author builds on the work of the 18th-century geologist Rev. John Michell, who demonstrated the immense power of steam when he transformed a gallon of water into steam and caused it to blast open a cannon. The author argues that when water seeps into the Earth's crust and comes into contact with hot rock, it turns into steam, building up pressure until it explodes, causing volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. The author also examines the role of electricity in volcanic activity, suggesting that electrical discharges can further increase the force of steam explosions. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the role of steam in shaping the Earth's geological landscape and offers a new perspective on the causes of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Selcuklularin muhtesem cagi, gerek bu dunyanin gerek gokler aleminin gorkemini yucelten bir cagdi. Saray ve Kozmos Selcuklularin sanatsal basarilarini butun boyutlariyla ortaya koyarken Islam dunyasinin kulturel mirasina yapmis olduklari katkinin da essiz bir kaydini sunuyor.
