Architecture of First Societies
ARCHITECTURE OF FIRST SOCIETIES THIS LANDMARK STUDY TRACES THE BEGINNINGS OF ARCHITECTURE BY LOOKING AT THE LATEST ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCH From the dawn of human society, through early civilizations, to pre-Columbian American societies, Architecture of First Societies traces the different cultural formations that developed in various places throughout the world to form the built environment. It is the first book to explore the beginnings of architecture from a global perspective. Viewing ancient cultures through a lens of both time and geography, this history of early architecture brings its subjects to life with full-color photographs, maps, and drawings. The author cite...
Nomads as Agents of Cultural Change
Since the first millennium BCE, nomads of the Eurasian steppe have played a key role in world history and the development of adjacent sedentary regions, especially China, India, the Middle East, and Eastern and Central Europe. Although their more settled neighbors often saw them as an ongoing threat and imminent danger—“barbarians,” in fact—their impact on sedentary cultures was far more complex than the raiding, pillaging, and devastation with which they have long been associated in the popular imagination. The nomads were also facilitators and catalysts of social, demographic, economic, and cultural change, and nomadic culture had a significant influence on that of sedentary Eurasi...
Advances in Artificial Systems for Medicine and Education VI
The book provides a thorough overview of recent developments in the design of AI systems and their uses in a range of industries, including education, technology, and bioinformatics. The papers in the proceedings were presented at the Sixth International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Medical Engineering, and Education (AIMEE2022), which took place in Wuhan, China, from August 19 to 21, 2022. The book underlines the need for the intensification of training of an increasing number of appropriate specialists given the rapid growth of AI systems. In order to replicate human and other species' natural intelligence in digital AI systems, the researchers have been studying genetics and inh...
Upper Mantle Heterogeneities from Active and Passive Seismology
600 km giving insight into the 3D structure of the upper mantle. These data are confronted with the requirements of the CTBT for 3D regional seismic models of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system. The two primary purposes of the present work are, first, to present these seismic observations on super long-range profiles in digitised format, using peaceful nuclear explosions (PNE) in the former USSR, and, second, to present the joint thoughts of experts from the deep seismic sounding (DSS) and the comprehensive test ban treaty (CTBT) communities. Implications for petrological and other earth science disciplines are presented. Audience: The CTBT community and earth scientists interested in the 3D structure of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system.
Impact of the Environment on Human Migration in Eurasia
The themes of the book focus on the origin, development, interactions, and migrations of the Scythians, in Eurasia and their relationships with the environment of 1st millennium BC. Without doubt, the environment played an important role in the life of ancient nomadic populations, forming the basis of their economies and influencing various aspects of their mode of life. The main focus is on the huge landmass of Eurasia where apart from global-scale environmental changes, local environmental change, including the physical landscape of forest, steppe, forest-steppe and so on changed. During the 1st millennium BC, important cultural processes occurred throughout the steppe belt, which eventually resulted in the emergence of "Scythian-type" cultures. The Scythian sites have been investigated since the 18th century, resulting in the discovery of outstanding archaeological assemblages and works of art which are displayed in the best museums of the world. Numerous puzzles relating to the Scythians' origins, interactions, migrations and their detailed chronology are discussed and new data presented.
Computer Science - Theory and Applications

The 35 papers cover theory track deals with algorithms, protocols, and data structures; complexity and cryptography; formal languages, automata and their applications to computer science; computational models and concepts; proof theory; and applications of logic to computer science. Many applications are presented.
Sakaların ve Sarmatların Kökeni
Tarihin sadece çözülemeyen ve de esrarı aralanamamış meseleleri ile ilgilenen ve tarihçinin tek görevinin geçmişin aydınlığa kavuşturulamayan sorunları hususunda sav geliştirmesi olduğuna inanan biri olarak bugüne değin kimlikleri bir türlü açıklanamamış Sakaların etnik aidiyetleri her vakit ilgimizi çekmiştir. Kadim geçmişe âit Avrasya tarihi incelendiğinde Baykal Gölü’nden Hindistan’a Çin sınırlarından Macaristan’a kadar uzanan devasa bir sahada Sakalar kadar olağanüstü iz bırakmış ve de tesirde bulunmuş başka bir kavim daha göze çarpmaz. Ancak asıl mesele şu ki, bu kadar muazzam bir coğrafyaya uzanmış Sakaların esasen kimler oldu...
Ancient Ink
The human desire to adorn the body is universal and timeless. While specific forms of body decoration and the motivations for them vary by region, culture, and era, all human societies have engaged in practices designed to augment and enhance people’s natural appearance. Tattooing, the process of inserting pigment into the skin to create permanent designs and patterns, is one of the most widespread forms of body art and was practiced by ancient cultures throughout the world, with tattoos appearing on human mummies by 3200 BCE. Ancient Ink, the first book dedicated to the archaeological study of tattooing, presents new, globe-spanning research examining tattooed human remains, tattoo tools, and ancient art. Connecting ancient body art traditions to modern culture through Indigenous communities and the work of contemporary tattoo artists, the volume’s contributors reveal the antiquity, durability, and significance of body decoration, illuminating how different societies have used their skin to construct their identities.
