This book investigates the experience of the colonized in their landscape setting, and proposes an 'archaeology of taxation' to investigate the relationship between local community and central control.
Forest Bioresource Utilisation in the Eastern Mediterranean Since Antiquity
Many regional forest reserves are in decline in the Mediterranean as these dynamic ecosystems become increasingly threatened and affected by climate change and human activities. This study examines the forest resources of Cyprus through a case study based in the Makheras region of the eastern Troodos mountains.
Prekmurje
Knjiga o Prekmurju je delo devetnajstih domačih in tujih avtoric in avtorjev, ki v svojih razpravah obravnavajo kulturne, socialne, zgodovinske in naravne značilnosti te panonske pokrajine in jih sklenejo v zanimivo zgodbo. Pokrajina, ki s svojimi geografskimi in kulturnimi posebnostmi navdušuje naključne obiskovalce in turiste, je predstavljena v vsej svoji raznolikosti in povezanosti s širšim evropskim kulturnim prostorom, ki je močno zaznamoval življenje, razmišljanje in ustvarjanje tukajšnjih ljudi. Avtorji v besedilih pojasnjujejo, zakaj je prekmurska ljudska pesem tako drugačna od pesmi iz drugih slovenskih pokrajin, zakaj ima Prekmurje toliko posebnosti v prehrani, praznovanjih in obredih, katere so značilnosti prekmurščine in njene javne rabe, kakšno je bilo življenje prekmurskih družin nekoč in kakšna so pričakovanja Prekmurcev danes, kako bogata zgodovina Prekmurja zaznamuje sedanjost, katere so glavne posebnosti vegetacije v Prekmurju? V knjigi objavljena besedila osvetlijo to panonsko pokrajino kot prehoden in s sosednjimi kulturnimi območji močno povezan prostor, kar je pomembno sooblikovalo svojske prekmurske kulturne in naravne značilnosti.
Stone Age Sailors
Over the past decade, evidence has been mounting that our ancestors developed skills to sail across large bodies of water early in prehistory. In this fascinating volume, Alan Simmons summarizes and synthesizes the evidence for prehistoric seafaring and island habitation worldwide, then focuses on the Mediterranean. Recent work in Melos, Crete, and elsewhere-- as well as Simmons’ own work in Cyprus-- demonstrate that long-distance sailing is a common Paleolithic phenomenon. His comprehensive presentation of the key evidence and findings will be of interest to both those interested in prehistory and those interested in ancient seafaring.
The Forest in Medieval German Literature
By pursuing an ecocritical reading, The Forest in Medieval German Literature examines passages in medieval German texts where protagonists operated in the forest and found themselves either in conflictual situations or in refuge. By probing the way the individual authors dealt with the forest, illustrating how their characters fared in this sylvan space, the role of the forest proved to be of supreme importance in understanding the fundamental relationship between humans and nature. The medieval forest almost always introduced an epistemological challenge: how to cope in life, or how to find one’s way in this natural maze. By approaching these narratives through modern ecocritical issues that are paired with premodern perspectives, we gain a solid and far-reaching understanding of how medieval concepts can aid in a better understanding of human society and nature in its historical context. This book revisits some of the best and lesser known examples of medieval German literature, and the critical approach used here will allow us to recognize the importance of medieval literature for a profound reassessment of our modern existence with respect to our own forests.
