Pages all crisp and clean. With an introductory essay by Evelyn Stefansson Nef. This being copy No. 54 of a limited edition of 75 hand-numbered copies on the limitation leaf mounted at the rear. A Fine and complete copy. Of Icelandic descent, Stefansson lived for a year among the Inuit in 1906-07, acquiring an intimate knowledge of their language and culture and forming the belief that Europeans could "live off the land" in the Arctic by adopting Inuit ways. From 1908 to 1912, he and the Canadian zoologist Rudolph M. Anderson carried out ethnographical and zoological studies among the Mackenzie and Copper Inuit of Coronation Gulf, in Canada's Northwest Territories (now in Nunavut). Between 1913 and 1918 Stefansson extended his exploration of the Northwest Territories. His party was divided into two groups: the southern one, under Anderson, did survey and scientific work on the north mainland coast from Alaska eastward to Coronation Gulf, while the northern group travelled extensively in the northwest, discovering the last unknown islands of Canada's Arctic archipelago, Borden, Brock, Meighen, and Lougheed. Stefansson's knowledge of the Canadian Arctic led him to predict that the area would become economically important. In World War II he was an adviser to the U.S. government, surveyed defense conditions in Alaska, and prepared reports and manuals for the armed forces. From 1947 he was Arctic consultant at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. He wrote several books, including My Life with the Eskimo (1913), The Friendly Arctic (1921), Unsolved Mysteries of the Arctic (1939), and Discovery (1964). Compliments of Britannica.

Condizione: new. Pages: 541 Language: English. State Archives of Assyria Sudies. Volume XXIX The purpose of the papers read at the meeting held in Helsinki, Finland, in 2014, and of the relevant proceedings forming this volume, was to discuss and update the historical methodologies adopted in the past and present study of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. The title of the meeting and of this proceedings volume, "Writing Neo-Assyrian History", clearly indicates the aim of the organizers and of the participants: to submit to both specialized scholars and educated readers a comprehensive outline of the various studies about Neo-Assyrian history, and to thoroughly comment on all possible problems so as to offer a basic "manual" for further innovative studies. All this was conceived in the framework of the scientific mission of the International Research Project which produces the series State Archives of Assyria, aimed at publishing all available Neo-Assyrian texts according to a modern and commonly shared editing system. The importance of the meeting and of this volume is relevant not only because of the innovative character of most articles, but also because of the prospective methodological spin-off in other historical sectors, from Greek and Roman history to medieval, modern or even Oriental (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, Indian) history. The importance of the spin-off in other sectors of the history of Ancient Mesopotamia, and in general of the Ancient Near East, is self-evident. The volume offers a distinctive contribution to knowledge in history and historiography in general, but also in demonstrating and applying a tight connection between history, philology, archaeology and history of art, extending to the fields of ideology, politics, sociology, religion, economy and law. The sources discussed in the various articles extend from cuneiform texts of various kinds to monumental relics and archaeological findings of all kinds, studied according to the most updated Assyriological methodologies and the most advanced historical approaches. 9789521095023.…
