Identities, Experience, and Change in Early Mexican Villages
New perspectives on an important era in Mesoamerican history This volume examines shifting social identities, lived experiences, and networks of interaction in Mexico during the Mesoamerican Formative period (2000 BCE–250 CE), an era that helped produce some of the world’s most renowned complex civilizations. The chapters offer significant data, innovative methodologies, and novel perspectives on Mexican archaeology. Using diverse and non-traditional theoretical approaches, contributors discuss interregional relationships and the exchange of ideas in contexts ranging from the Gulf Coast Olmec region to the site of Tlatilco in Central Mexico to the often-overlooked cultures of the far wes...
Mesoamerican Plazas
"This is the first book to examine the roles of plazas in ancient Mesoamerica. It argues persuasively that physical interactions among people in communal events were not the outcomes of political machinations held behind the scenes, but were the actual political processes through which people created, negotiated, and subverted social realities"--
Future Databases '92 - Proceedings Of The 2nd Far-east Workshop On Future Database Systems
This volume represents a valuable collective contribution to the research and development of database systems. It contains papers in a variety of topics such as data models, distributed databases, multimedia databases, concurrency control, hypermedia and document processing, user interface, query processing and database applications.
Teotihuacan
Founded in the first century BCE near a set of natural springs in an otherwise dry northeastern corner of the Valley of Mexico, the ancient metropolis of Teotihuacan was on a symbolic level a city of elements. With a multiethnic population of perhaps one hundred thousand, at its peak in 400 CE, it was the cultural, political, economic, and religious center of ancient Mesoamerica. A devastating fire in the city center led to a rapid decline after the middle of the sixth century, but Teotihuacan was never completely abandoned or forgotten; the Aztecs revered the city and its monuments, giving many of them the names we still use today. Teotihuacan: City of Water, City of Fire examines new disco...
Recent Advances in Medicinal Chemistry
Recent advances in Medicinal Chemistry is a book series focused on leading-edge research on developments in rational drug design, synthetic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, drug targets, and natural product research and structure-activity relationship studies. The series presents highly cited contributions first published in the impact factor journal Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry. Contributors to this volume have updated their work with new experimental data and references following their initial research. Each volume highlights a number of important topics in current research in medicinal chemistry. Selected chapters in this volume include: Characterization of Inorganic Nanomaterials as Therapeutic Vehicles HPLC and its Essential Role in the Analysis of Tricyclic Antidepressants in Biological Samples Tannins and Their Influence on Health … And much more.
Animal Matter
Animal Matter uses primary excavation, zooarchaeological, and isotope data from the study of nearly 200 jaguars, pumas, wolves, rattlesnakes, and golden eagles that were sacrificed or offered to the Moon Pyramid of Teotihuacan, 1-550 AD, to take readers on a journey through the complex entanglements of ritual performances that were part of the process of sovereignty for this ancient city.
Breathless
Each year in India more than two million people fall sick with tuberculosis (TB), an infectious, airborne, and potentially deadly lung disease. The country accounts for almost 30 percent of all TB cases worldwide and well above a third of global deaths from it. Because TB's prevalence also indicates unfulfilled development promises, its control is an important issue of national concern, wrapped up in questions of postcolonial governance. Drawing on long-term ethnographic engagement with a village in North India and its TB epidemic, Andrew McDowell tells the stories of socially marginalized Dalit ("ex-untouchable") farming families afflicted by TB, and the nurses, doctors, quacks, mediums, an...
