The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia

The cultures of Nubia built the earliest cities, states, and empires of inner Africa, but they remain relatively poorly known outside their modern descendants and the community of archaeologists, historians, and art historians researching them. The earliest archaeological work in Nubia was motivated by the region's role as neighbor, trade partner, and enemy of ancient Egypt. Increasingly, however, ancient Nile-based Nubian cultures are recognized in their own right as the earliest complex societies in inner Africa. As agro-pastoral cultures, Nubian settlement, economy, political organization, and religious ideologies were often organized differently from those of the urban, bureaucratic, and...

Climate and Ancient Societies

Climate and human responses to it have a strongly interconnected relationship. Thus when climate change occurs, the result of either natural or human causes, societies should react and adapt to these. But do they? If so, what is the nature of that change, and are the responses positive or negative for the long-term survival of social groups? In Climate and Societies, scholars from diverse disciplines includ-ing archaeology, geology and climate sciences explore scientific and material evidence for climate changes in the past, their causes, their effects on ancient societies and how those societies responded. Organized around four key themes each dealing with ways to understand past climates, ...

The Grace of the Italian Renaissance

  • Categories: Art

"This book explores grace as a complex idea and term that at once expresses and connects the most pressing ethical, social, and aesthetic debates of the Italian Renaissance. Grace surfaced time and again in the period's discussions of the individual pursuit of the good life and in the collective quest to determine the best means to a harmonious society. It rose to prominence in theological debates about the soul's salvation and in secular debates about how best to live at court. It was absolutely central to the thinking of Reformation figures such as Erasmus and Luther, and just as central to the Counter-Reformation response. It played a pivotal role in the humanist campaign to develop a sha...

Science in the Study of Ancient Egypt demonstrates how to integrate scientific methodologies into Egyptology broadly, and in Egyptian archaeology in particular, in order to maximise the amount of information that might be obtained within a study of ancient Egypt, be it field, museum, or laboratory-based. The authors illustrate the inclusive but varied nature of the scientific archaeology being undertaken, revealing that it all falls under the aegis of Egyptology, and demonstrating its potential for the elucidation of problems within traditional Egyptology.

Ben Riley ist Architekt und geschieden... und ein mürrischer, wortkarger Egoist. Er lebt allein in einer großen Wohnung, in die er sich gern zurückzieht, um Kontakten und Konflikten aus dem Weg zu gehen. Sie ist seine Festung und er der uneingeschränkte Herr darin. Nach einer Phase des Selbstmitleids ist Ben mittlerweile sehr zufrieden mit diesem Leben, das ihm Kontinuität und Sicherheit gibt. Bis zu dem Tag, an dem sein Kollege und eigentlich einziger Freund, Derek Foreman, vollkommen aufgelöst vor der Tür steht. Obwohl sein Inneres Ich ihm sagt, er solle ihn wieder wegschicken, lässt er ihn ein - ohne zu ahnen, dass sich sein Leben dadurch grundlegend ändern wird. Jetzt muss er re...

Im Jahre 2075 ist das Leben in den Großstädten sauber und gewaltfrei. Die Menschen kümmern sich nur noch um ihren Sozialen-Status, die neueste Technik und eine steile Karriere.

Rachael bekommt das einmalige Angebot, ihr Bewusstsein in einen nahezu unzerstörbaren Kunstkörper zu transferieren und damit dem sicheren Tod zu entgehen. Doch, was wird das mit ihrer Menschlichkeit anstellen? Wo bleibt ihre Seele? Oder besitzt der Mensch überhaupt keine? Als Jack zu allem Überfluss versucht, sich das Leben zu nehmen, beginnt ein unwiderstehlicher Sog in eine ungewisse Zukunft...
