Closure: The Untold Story of the Ground Zero Recovery Mission
ISBN: 9780743296595 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) On the morning of 9/11, the Port Authority Police Department was the first uniformed service to respond to the attack on the World Trade Center. When the towers collapsed, thirty-seven of its officers were killed -- the largest loss of law enforcement officers in U.S. history. That afternoon, Lieutenant William Keegan began the work of recovery. The FDNY and NYPD had the territory, but Keegan had the map. PAPD cops could stand on top of six stories of debris and point to where a stairwell had been; they used PATH tunnels to enter "the pile" from underneath. Closure shares many...

Taíno Indian Myth and Practice: The Arrival of the Stranger King
ISBN: 9780813030388 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Applying the legend of the stranger king to Caonabo, the mythologized Taino chief of the Hispaniola settlement Columbus invaded in 1492, Keegan examines how myths come to resonate as history--created by the chaotic interactions of the individuals who lived the events of the past as well as those who write and read about them. The stranger king story told in many cultures is that of a foreigner who comes from across the water, marries the king s daughter, and deposes the king. In this story, Caonabo, the most important Taino chief at the time of European conquest, claimed to be imbued with...

The Oxford Handbook of Caribbean Archaeology
ISBN: 9780195392302 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 624 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Oxford Handbook of Caribbean Archaeology provides an overview of archaeological investigations in the insular Caribbean, understood here as the islands whose shores surround the Caribbean Sea and the islands of the Bahama Archipelago. Though these islands were never isolated from the surrounding mainland, their histories are sufficiently diverse to warrant their identification as distinct areas of culture. Over the past 20 years, Caribbean archaeology has been transformed from a focus on reconstructing culture histories to one on the mobility and exchange expressed in cultural...

The People Who Discovered Columbus: The Prehistory of the Bahamas
ISBN: 9780813011370 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) For the Lucayan Arawaks of the Caribbean, the year 1492 marked the beginning of the end: the first people contacted by Christopher Columbus were the first extinguished. Within thirty years, a population of perhaps 80,000 had declined to, at most, a few refugees. Clearing new ground in the study of prehistoric societies, Keegan argues that a different perspective on the past provides an accurate portrait of a culture that became extinct almost 500 years ago.
Keegan terms his approach paleoethnography, developing a portrait of the past by linking archaeological field data and historical... For the Lucayan Arawaks of the Caribbean, the year 1492 marked the beginning of the end: the first people contacted by Christopher Columbus were the f...

The Caribbean before Columbus
ISBN: 9780190605247 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The islands of the Caribbean are remarkably diverse, environmentally and culturally. They range from low limestone islands barely above sea level to volcanic islands with mountainous peaks; from large islands to small cays; from islands with tropical rainforests to those with desert habitats. Today's inhabitants have equally diverse culture histories. The islands are home to a mosaic of indigenous communities and to the descendants of Spanish, French, Dutch, English, Swedish, Danish, Irish, African, East Indian, Chinese, Syrian, Seminole and other nationalities who settled there during...
