ISBN: 9781108043908 / Francuski / Miękka / 2012 / 556 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The name of Jean-Francois Champollion (1790 1832) will always be associated with the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs.

In this 1824 work, he expands on the discoveries he had previously outlined in 1822, giving a long and systematic account of his research, which was based on the insight of Thomas Young that clusters of hieroglyphs on the tri-lingual Rosetta Stone could be matched to known Greek and Latin names. He gave phonetic...

The Cultural Life of Images: Visual Representation in Archaeology
ISBN: 9780415513449 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Pictures are often admired for their aesthetic merits but they are rarely treated as if they had as much to offer as the written word. They are often overlooked as objects of analysis themselves, and tend to be seen simply as adjuncts to the text. Images, however, are not passive, and have a direct impact that engages attention in ways independent of any specific text. Advertising, entertainment and propaganda have realised the extent of this power to shape ideas, but the scientific community has hitherto neglected the ways in which visual material conditions the ways in which we...
