ISBN: 9783848436903 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This work involves the presentation of new approach attempted to predict the axial capacity and load-settlement behaviour of piles embedded in sand and mixed soils. Two artificial intelligence techniques including Gene Expression Programming (GEP) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been used in the approach. The work begins with the definitions of the two techniques and explanation of their terminology and the theories which each of them is based on. The work also comprises extensive literature review of the proposed procedures for evaluating pile capacity and load settlement...

Interpreting Ground-Penetrating Radar for Archaeology
ISBN: 9781611322163 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has become one of the standard tools in the archaeologist's array of methods, but users still struggle to understand what the images tell us. In this book--illustrated with over 200 full-color photographs--Lawrence Conyers shows how results of geophysical surveys can test ideas regarding people, history, and cultures, as well as be used to prospect for buried remains. Using 20 years of data from more than 600 GPR surveys in a wide array of settings, Conyers, one of the first archaeological specialists in GPR, provides the consumer of GPR studies with basic...

Crocodile Predation and Hominin Evolution
ISBN: 9783848488247 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Over the last five decades, paleoanthropologists have attempted to reconstruct the environmental context of a plethora of stone artifact and vertebrate assemblages at Olduvai Gorge. This site, located in northern Tanzania, was made famous by Drs. Louis and Mary Leakey, through discoveries of important Plio-Pleistocene hominin fossils. Traditionally, these paleoanthropological occurrences were thought to represent early hominin "living floors" (campsites). However, this view has been questioned because these assemblages occurred near paleo-wetland settings. Theoretically, wetland settings,...

Astronomy and the Climate Crisis
ISBN: 9781461446071 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Climate change is acknowledged as being one of the most important areas of research today. Increasing global temperatures will impact all of us to a greater or lesser extent. From the point of view of research it is an enormously important and complex subject. However, little attention is paid to its relationship to astronomy, the sun in particular but not exclusively. Though directed at an astronomically inclined readership, and providing some less well-known astronomically related information, studies and concepts, this book will also appeal to a broader public, who need to understand...

Stone Vessels and Values in the Bronze Age Mediterranean
ISBN: 9781107406612 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The societies that developed in the eastern Mediterranean during the Bronze Age produced the most prolific and diverse range of stone vessel traditions known at any time or anywhere in the world. Stone vessels are therefore a key class of artifact in the early history of this region. In this book, Andrew Bevan considers individual stone vessel industries in great detail. He also offers a highly comparative and value-led perspective on production, consumption and exchange logics throughout the eastern Mediterranean over a period of two millennia during the Bronze Age (ca. 3000-1200 BC)."

Uncovering the Germanic Past: Merovingian Archaeology in France, 1830-1914
ISBN: 9780199696710 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Uncovering the Germanic Past brings to light an unexpected side-effect of France's nineteenth-century Industrial Revolution. While laying tracks for new rail lines, quarrying for stone, and expanding lands under cultivation, French labourers uncovered bones and artefacts from long-forgotten cemeteries. Although their original owners were unknown, research by a growing number of amateur archaeologists of the bourgeois class determined that these were the graves of Germanic 'warriors', and their work, presented in provincial learned societies across France, documented evidence for significant...

The Knossos Labyrinth: A New View of the `Palace of Minos' at Knossos
ISBN: 9780415513203 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Knossos, like the Acropolis or Stonehenge, is a symbol for an entire culture. The Knossos Labyrinth was first built in the reign of a Middle Kingdom Egyptian pharaoh, and was from the start the focus of a glittering and exotic culture. Homer left elusive clues about the Knossian court and when the lost site of Knossos gradually re-emerged from obscurity in the nineteenth century, the first excavators - Minos Kalokairinos, Heinrich Schliemann, and Arthur Evans - were predisposed to see the site through the eyes of the classical authors. Rodney Castleden argues that this line of thought was a...
