Evolution of the Human Diet: The Known, the Unknown, and the Unknowable
ISBN: 9780195183474 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. We are interested in the evolution of hominin diets for several reasons. One is the fundamental concern over our present-day eating habits and the consequences of our societal choices, such as obesity prevalent in some cultures and starvation in others. Another is that humans have learned to feed themselves in extremely varied environments, and these adaptations, which are fundamentally different from those of our closest biological relatives, have to have had historical roots of varying depth. The third, and the reason why most paleoanthropologists are interested in this question, is that a...

Roman Sculpture from the North West Midlands
ISBN: 9780197262900 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the first comprehensive catalogue of the sculpture from this region of Roman Britain. The sculptures were carved locally, and provide an index of Romanisation in the far north-west of the Roman Empire--in particular at Devra (Chester), Viroconium (Wroxeter), and at Letcetum (Wall, Staffs). The works range in quality from highly accomplished and decorative altars and tombstones, to rather ham-fisted efforts which hint that it was not always possible to attract sculptors to these relatively remote places. Such factors are discussed in an extended introduction.

In this genuinely productive interdisciplinary dialogue, engineering scientists, archaeologists and historians discuss how recent exciting developments in imaging, image analysis, and image display/diffusion can be applied to three-dimensional objects of material culture from the classical world, ranging from inscribed writing tablets to buildings and urban sites. The fifteen papers explore the ways in which the scientific contributors and the historians are thinking about subjectivity of interpretation, visual cognition, and the need to improve the presentation of evidence so as to feed...

Mediterranean Urbanization 800-600 BC

This collection of essays offers for the first time a systematic discussion of the beginnings of urbanization across the Mediterranean, from Cyprus through Greece and Italy to France and Spain. Leading scholars in the field look critically at what is meant by urbanization, and analyze the social processes that lead to the development of social complexity and the growth of towns.
The introduction to the volume focuses on the... Urban life as we know it in the Mediterranean began in the early Iron Age: settlements of great size and internal diversity appear in the archaeologic...

The Micali Painter and His Followers
ISBN: 9780198132257 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The first full stylistic study of the Micali Painter, an ancient vase-painter, this book provides a catalogue of his surviving work (about 200 pieces) and an account of his development within, and influence on, archaic Etruscan painting. It clarifies the artist's unique contributions to the black-figure style that owed more to native imagination than to Athenian influence, and demonstrates the Micali Painter's vivacity, originality, and range through a wealth of illustrations.

Fossils and Evolution
ISBN: 9780198504245 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Rather than survey of the extensive data, this book focuses on the ideas, methodology and scope of contemporary palaeobiology. It examines the complex interdependence of evolutionary theory and the interpretation of the fossil record. The author demonstrates that this is not the circular argument between pattern and process sometimes alleged, but a matter of understanding carefully the interrelationship between palaeontological and neontological evidence. The first part of the book consists of four chapters outlining the central principles: the nature of the pattern/process relationship,...

An Outline of Phanerozoic Biogeography
ISBN: 9780198540601 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The general acceptance of plate tectonics and continental drift by the early 1970s galvanized the study of biogeography and our understanding of the origin and evolution of life. However, until now the accumulated information has been widely scattered in the literature. This book is the first to synthesize the results of over two decades of prolific research in a clear, concise format accessible to students of geology, geography, and biology. It will also serve as a valuable resource for teachers of paleontology who are interested in paleobiogeography as well as for geologists needing to know...

Finding Time for the Old Stone Age: A History of Palaeolithic Archaeology and Quaternary Geology in Britain, 1860-1960
ISBN: 9780199215478 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Finding Time for the Old Stone Age explores a century of colorful debate over the age of our earliest ancestors. In the mid nineteenth century curious stone implements were found alongside the bones of extinct animals. Humans were evidently more ancient than had been supposed--but just how old were they? There were several clocks for Stone-Age (or Palaeolithic) time, and it would prove difficult to synchronize them. Conflicting timescales were drawn from the fields of geology, palaeontology, anthropology, and archaeology. Anne O'Connor draws on a wealth of lively, personal correspondence to...

Early Medieval Settlements: The Archaeology of Rural Communities in North-West Europe 400-900
ISBN: 9780199246977 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The excavation of settlements has in recent years transformed our understanding of north-west Europe in the early Middle Ages. We can for the first time begin to answer fundamental questions such as: what did houses look like and how were they furnished? how did villages and individual farmsteads develop? how and when did agrarian production become intensified and how did this affect village communities? what role did craft production and trade play in the rural economy? In a period for which written sources are scarce, archaeology is of central importance in understanding the 'small worlds'...

Global Mobilities illustrates the significant engagement of museums and archives with populations that have experienced forced or willing migration: emigrants, exiles, refugees, asylum seekers, and others.

Museum Learning: Theory and Research as Tools for Enhancing Practice
ISBN: 9781138901124 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As museums are increasingly asked to demonstrate not only their cultural, but also their educational and social significance, the means to understand how museum visitors learn becomes ever more important. And yet, learning can be conceptualised and investigated in many ways. Coming to terms with how theories about learning interact with one another and how they relate to 'evidence-based learning' can be confusing at best. Museum Learning attempts to make sense of multiple learning theories whilst focusing on a set of core learning topics in museums. Importantly,...
