Archaeological Encounters
This book examines the relationship between British and Spanish archaeology in the light of international geographies of knowledge. It looks at the practical aspects of the personal relationships established between British and Spanish prehistoric archaeologists from the 1920s to the 1970s. Part I of the book sets the scene. It provides some contextual information on the main events in the archaeology of both countries in the period under study.

History of Seattle, Volume 1
The preparation of a "History of Seattle" has been the exploration of a new field and the amount of patient research and careful investigation involved has been a task of colossal proportions. The printed and written records of the first twenty years of Seattle's existence are scanty almost beyond belief. Not until 1863 was a newspaper established there and, for many years, more space in it was devoted to eastern and foreign politics than to the record of local passing events. Few, if any, pioneers kept diaries and none of these, except that of the writer, has been accessible. And yet has this work become one of the most detailed and accurate narratives of the history of this beautiful town on the West coast. A must read - and not only for Seattle citizens. This is volume two out of two.
Architettura Rurale/Rural Architecture
Il Convegno ha affrontato il dibattito, tuttora vivace, che attiene al rapporto tra architettura vernacolare e rupestre e le comunità che continuano a riconoscersi in stili di vita rivolti a quella tradizione. Il volume testimonia il raffronto tra esperienze e discipline diverse – dall’antropologia alla geomatica, dalla teoria e filosofia del restauro all’archeologia, dalla tecnica delle costruzioni, fino al monitoraggio satellitare dei siti e alle azioni di manutenzione programmata e di gestione. L’architettura vernacolare testimonia, attraverso le sue abilità costruttive, le conoscenze tradizionali delle comunità locali, il migliore uso dei materiali disponibili, le capacità e la creatività di utilizzo dei materiali locali, a volte estremamente semplici e poveri, ma posti in opera con profonda competenza. Sono evidenziate le pratiche innovative di conservazione e di salvaguardia, e l’urgenza di completarne il censimento territoriale.
