ISBN: 9781107436015 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780521515726 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Questioning Collapse challenges those scholars and popular writers who advance the thesis that societies - past and present - collapse because of behavior that destroyed their environments or because of overpopulation.

Living with the Ancestors: Kinship and Kingship in Ancient Maya Society
ISBN: 9780521719353 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This new edition of Living with the Ancestors contains an entirely new introduction that synthesizes scholarship on ancestralizing practices that has emerged since the 1995 publication of the first edition, which was heralded in Ethnohistory as a gem by Robert M. Carmack. Ancestor veneration in the Maya region traditionally was associated with divine kingship and royal genealogies. In this study, the author challenges this assumption and presents a strong case for agrarian and Preclassic antecedents to the practice of remembering and celebrating forebears and curating their remains close to...

This book addresses the problem by bringing together anthropologists with diverse backgrounds in the study of religion and economy to forge an analytical vocabulary that constitutes the building blocks of a theory of ritual economythe process of provisioning...
