Food, Culture and Identity in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age
ISBN: 9781841714950 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the last twenty years historians and social scientists have seen a veritable explosion of research into food and its consumption and social context. And yet archaeology has been slow to catch on. This is all the more surprising since the 'bread and butter' of archaeology are the residues of food preparation and consumption - animal bones, pottery and other containers, cooking places and other technologies of preparation, plant remains (micro and macro), landscapes and settlements, grave goods, etc., etc. This volume of papers arises out of a conference held in Sheffield in 1999,...

End of the Line: A History of Railways in Papua New Guinea

At the very least, railways do not immediately come to mind as a topic for historical research in Papua New Guinea. Nevertheless, we set out to document and record something of the history of local railways in 1971, initially as individual projects. Inevitably, our interest in the topic of railways brought us together and we have been working collaboratively on our research since 1980.
At first the task was to identify and document the railways which have operated in Papua New Guinea. To our surprise, we now have records of... Papua New Guinea is commonly thought to be a land without railways. At the very least, railways do not immediately come to mind as a topic for histori...

Creative Evolution
ISBN: 9780230517219 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Henri Bergson (1859-1941) is one of the truly great philosophers of the modernist period, and there is currently a major renaissance of interest in his unduly neglected texts and ideas amongst philosophers, literary theorists, and social theorists. Creative Evolution (1907) is the text that made Bergson world-famous in his own lifetime; in it Bergson responds to the challenge presented to our habits of thought by modern evolutionary theory, and attempts to show that the theory of knowledge must have its basis in a theory of life.
