The Greatest Game: The Day That Bucky, Yaz, Reggie, Pudge, and Company Played the Most Memorable Game in Baseball's Most Intense Rivalry
ISBN: 9781416534396 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this spellbinding book, Richard Bradley tells the story of what was surely the greatest major league game of our lifetime and perhaps in the history of professional baseball. That game, played at Fenway Park on the afternoon of October 4, 1978, was the culmination of one of the most tense, emotionally wrought seasons ever, between baseball's two most bitter rivals, the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. Both teams finished this tumultuous season with identical 99-64 records, forcing a one-game playoff. With a one-run lead and two outs, with the tying run in scoring position in the...

The Use and Reuse of Stone Circles: Fieldwork at Five Scottish Monuments and Its Implications
ISBN: 9781785702433 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The study of stone circles has long played a major role in British and Irish archaeology, and for Scotland most attention has been focused on the large monuments of Orkney and the Western Isles. Several decades of fieldwork have shown how these major structures are likely to be of early date and recognized that that smaller settings of monoliths had a more extended history. Many of the structures in Northern Britain were reused during the later Bronze Age, the Iron Age and the early medieval period. A series of problems demand further investigation including: when were the last stone circles...

ISBN: 9780415198080 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Just as modern societies interpret ancient monuments and incorporate them in their political and cultural life, so people in the past often re-used their own monuments and places. Illustrated with plates and photographs and including articles by international specialists, this book should appeal to graduates, academics and anyone curious about the re-use of ancient monuments right up to the present day.

Maritime Archaeology on Dry Land: Special Sites Along the Coasts of Britain and Ireland from the First Farmers to the Atlantic Bronze Age
ISBN: 9781789258196 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is about two islands off the coast of Continental Europe, the seas that surrounded them, and the ways in which they were used over a period of three thousand years. Instead of the usual emphasis on finds in the intertidal zone, it focuses on parts of Britain and Ireland where traces of the prehistoric shoreline survive above sea level. It explores a series of Neolithic and Early Bronze Age sites which were investigated in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and have been largely forgotten. These places were very different from the Iron Age ports and harbours studied in...

Image and Audience: Rethinking Prehistoric Art
ISBN: 9780199533855 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. There have been many accounts of prehistoric 'art', but nearly all of them begin by assuming that the concept is a useful one. In this extensively illustrated study, Richard Bradley asks why ancient objects were created and when and how they were used. He considers how the first definitions of prehistoric artworks were made, and the ways in which they might be related to practices in the visual arts today Extended case studies of two immensely popular and much-visited sites illustrate his argument: one considers the megalithic tombs of Western Europe, whilst the other investigates the...

Ritual and Domestic Life in Prehistoric Europe
ISBN: 9780415345514 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This fascinating study explores how our prehistoric ancestors developed rituals from everyday life and domestic activities. Richard Bradley contends that for much of the prehistoric period, ritual was not a distinct sphere of activity. Rather it was the way in which different features of the domestic world were played out until they took on qualities of theatrical performance. With extensive illustrated case-studies, this book examines farming, craft production and the occupation of houses, all of which were ritualized in prehistoric Europe. Successive chapters discuss the ways in which...

An Archaeology of Natural Places
ISBN: 9780415221504 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume explores why natural places such as caves, mountains, springs and rivers assumed a sacred character in European prehistory, and how the evidence for this can be analysed in the field. It shows how established research on votive deposits, rock art and production sites can contribute to a more imaginative approach to the prehistoric landscape, and can even shed light on the origins of monumental architecture. The discussion is illustrated through a wide range of European examples, and three extended case studies.

The Prehistoric Settlement of Britain
ISBN: 9781138817104 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study, first published in 1978, explores the evidence for pre-Roman settlement in Britain. Four aspects of the prehistoric economy are described by the author colonisation and clearance; arable and pastoral farming; transhumance and nomadism; and hunting, gathering and fishing. These aspects have been brought together to formulate a structure which contains the evidence more naturally than chronological schemes that depend on assumed changes in population or technology. The book draws upon environmental evidence and recent developments in archaeological fieldwork. It also provides...

The Idea of Order: The Circular Archetype in Prehistoric Europe
ISBN: 9780199608096 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Richard Bradley investigates the idea of circular buildings - whether houses or public architecture - which, though unfamiliar in the modern West, were a feature of many parts of prehistoric Europe. Why did so many people build circular monuments? Why did they choose to live in circular houses, when other communities rejected them? Why was it that those who preferred to inhabit a world of rectangular dwellings often buried their dead in round mounds and worshipped their gods in circular temples? Why did people who lived in roundhouses decorate their pottery and metalwork with rectilinear...

Interpreting the Axe Trade: Production and Exchange in Neolithic Britain
ISBN: 9780521619370 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Interpreting the Axe Trade documents the changing character and context of stone axe production and exchange in the British Neolithic. Drawing on a variety of studies, the authors explore some of the problems and potentials that attend archaeological discussions of exchange at both a theoretical and a methodological level. Out of this critique arises an argument for an integrated approach to the production, circulation and consumption of past material - an approach which acknowledges the subtle and complex roles that ?things? may play in the reproduction of social life. These arguments...

Rock Art and the Prehistory of Atlantic Europe : Signing the Land
ISBN: 9780415165358 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Along the Atlantic seaboard, from Scotland to Spain are numerous rock carvings made 4-5000 years ago, whose interpretation poses a major challenge to the archaeologist. This full-length treatment of the subject is based largely on recent fieldwork and asserts that these carvings should be interpreted as a series of symbolic messages that are shared between monuments, artefects and natural places in the landscape. The author discusses the cultural setting of the rock carvings and the ways in which they can be interpreted in relation to ancient land use, the creation of ritual monuments and the...
