Beyond War
The long-standing debate over the origins of violence has resurfaced over the last two decades. There has been a proliferation of studies on violence, from both cross-cultural and ethnographic and prehistoric perspectives, based on a reading of archaeological and bioarchaeological records in a variety of territories and chronologies. The vast body of osteoarchaeological and architectural evidence reflects the presence of interpersonal violence among the first farmer groups throughout Europe, and, even earlier, between hunter-gatherer societies of the Mesolithic. The studies in Beyond War present the necessity of rethinking the concept of “violence” in archaeology. This overcomes the old ...
The Diversity of Hunter Gatherer Pasts
This thought provoking collection of new research papers explores the extent of variation amongst hunting and gathering peoples past and present and the considerable analytical challenges presented by this diversity. This problem is especially important in archaeology, where increasing empirical evidence illustrates ways of life that are not easily encompassed within the range of variation recognized in the contemporary world of surviving hunter-gatherers. Put simply, how do past hunter-gatherers fit into our understandings of hunter-gatherers? Furthermore, given the inevitable archaeological reliance on analogy, it is important to ask whether conceptions of hunter-gatherers based on contemp...
Through Their Eyes
Americans often forget that, just as they watch the world through U.S. media, they are also being watched. Foreign correspondents based in the United States report news and provide context to events that are often unfamiliar or confusing to their readers back home. Unfortunately, there has been too little thoughtful examination of the foreign press in America and its role in the world media. Through Their Eyes fills this void in the unmistakable voice of Stephen Hess, who has been reporting on reporting for over a quarter century. Globalization is shrinking the planet, making it more important than ever to know what is going on in the world and how those events are being interpreted elsewher...
Marxist Archaeology Today
This volume gathers papers written by archaeologists utilising the methods of historical materialism, attesting not only to what Marxism has contributed to archaeology, but also to what archaeology has contributed, and can contribute, to Marxism as a method for interpreting the history of humanity. The book’s contributors consider the question of what archaeology can contribute to a historical perspective on the overcoming of present-day capitalism, synthesising developments in world archaeology, and supplying concrete case studies of the archaeology of the Americas, Europe and the Near East. Contributors are: Guillermo Acosta Ochoa, Marcus Bajema, Bernardo Gandulla, Alex Gonzales-Panta, Pablo Jaruf, Vicente Lull, Savas Michael-Matsas, Rafael Micó, Ianir Milevski, Patricia Pérez Martínez, Cristina Rihuete Herrada, Roberto Risch, Steve Roskams, Henry Tantaleán, Marcelo Vitores, and LouAnn Wurst.
Evolutionary Data Clustering: Algorithms and Applications
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the current evolutionary clustering techniques. It discusses the most highly regarded methods for data clustering. The book provides literature reviews about single objective and multi-objective evolutionary clustering algorithms. In addition, the book provides a comprehensive review of the fitness functions and evaluation measures that are used in most of evolutionary clustering algorithms. Furthermore, it provides a conceptual analysis including definition, validation and quality measures, applications, and implementations for data clustering using classical and modern nature-inspired techniques. It features a range of proven and recent nature-inspired algorithms used to data clustering, including particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization, grey wolf optimizer, salp swarm algorithm, multi-verse optimizer, Harris hawks optimization, beta-hill climbing optimization. The book also covers applications of evolutionary data clustering in diverse fields such as image segmentation, medical applications, and pavement infrastructure asset management.

El cost humà de la repressió al País Valencià (1936-1956) (2a edició)
1936-1956. Vint anys i milers de víctimes, que amb la seua desaparició van causar dolor en uns familiars que continuaran patint durant anys les conseqüencies de la repressió; una repressió sobre persones que són acusades de pensar diferent de com ho feien els seus botxins, de creure diferent de com ho feien els seus denunciants, de defensar unes idees, una forma de vida, de treball, diferent de la dels seus contraris. El cost humà de la repressió. Les víctimes de la repressió franquista i republicana s' afegeixen a les morts produïdes en els fronts de guerra o pels bombardejos sobre les ciutats de rereguarda d'una incivil guerra civil. No es tracta d'igualar dues repressions, pero...

Una mirada al horizonte. Geografía y paisaje en la poesía hispánica contemporánea
Este volumen colectivo es un libro compacto que recoge colaboraciones de Luis Bagué, Cristina Bartolomé, David Bendicho, Celia Carrasco Gil, Nacho Escuín, Valeria Grancini, Lucía Lizarbe, Raúl Molina, Rafael Morales, Antonio Pérez Lasheras y Alfredo Saldaña. Cada una de esas once miradas enriquece el propio concepto de geografía poética. Porque, recordemos, el paisaje tiene memoria y existe una memoria del paisaje, que no es uniforme y cambia con el tiempo. En el marco de las actividades llevadas a cabo por el Laboratorio de Investigaciones Literarias Abisal Margen, grupo de investigación reconocido por el Gobierno de Aragón para el periodo 2023-2025, surge este libro que han coordinado Antonio Pérez Lasheras y Nacho Escuín, un volumen que da inicio a una serie de trabajos en los que se abordarán diversas cuestiones vinculadas con la poética y las poéticas hispánicas contemporáneas.
