Archaeological and Paleontological Research in Lagoa Santa
Author: Pedro Da-Gloria
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319574663
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
This groundbreaking volume presents, for the first time in English, a broad historical review of the researches carried out over 170 years in the region of Lagoa Santa, Brazil, one of the most important archaeological regions in the Americas. From the pioneering work of the Danish naturalist Peter Lund in the XIX century to the recent research on the dispersion of early humans across South America, led by Walter A. Neves and colleagues, Lagoa Santa has offered remarkable findings, the largest collections of early human skeletons in the Americas, and has contributed to the overall discussions about the settlement of the Americas. This edited volume aims to fill the lack of publications in English about Lagoa Santa and gathers representatives of all the main Brazilian institutions directly involved in the archaeological and paleontological investigations in the region, in order to provide the international scientific community a comprehensive and complete account of the researches that contributed to rewrite the history of the peopling of the Americas. The book is organized in two parts. The first consists of chapters describing each of the interventions in the region, beginning with the pioneering work of Peter Lund and culminating with the latest intervention led by Walter A. Neves and his team. The second part of the book consists of reviews of current relevant research foci in the region, such as migrations, health, mortuary rituals, paleontology, rock art and technology.

“One of the most profound and illuminating studies of this century to have been published in recent decades.”—John Gray, New York Times Book Review Hailed as “a magisterial critique of top-down social planning” by the New York Times, this essential work analyzes disasters from Russia to Tanzania to uncover why states so often fail—sometimes catastrophically—in grand efforts to engineer their society or their environment, and uncovers the conditions common to all such planning disasters. “Beautifully written, this book calls into sharp relief the nature of the world we now inhabit.”—New Yorker “A tour de force.”— Charles Tilly, Columbia University

Birth of Scientific Ecology
Author: Patrick Matagne
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1786309297
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
This book presents a biography of the Danish botanist Eugen Warming. As the author of a treatise on ecology that brought him international recognition, he was able to inspire the first generation of 20th-century European and American ecologists. His innovative approach to nature and his Arctic and tropical missions heralded the birth of a new science and an ecological awareness. As a professor at several Scandinavian universities during a period of intense debate and controversy over evolutionary theories, Eugen Warming vigorously asserted his convictions. Birth of Scientific Ecology presents the image of a man of knowledge and power, recognized by his contemporaries as a founder of ecology and a player in the ecological project of the Kingdom of Denmark at a time when the empires were clashing.

Montes-Claridades
Author: Wanderlino Arruda
Publisher: Wanderlino Arruda

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
Leisure disguised as a task is reading and presenting the 18th book by Wanderlino Arruda. Although he was born in São João do Paraíso, on September 4, 1934, he is the most authentic Monte-Clarense that exists around here. He came to study in Montes Claros in 1951, something he did with dedication, immersing himself in books and work, growing and accompanying Montes Claros as it developed. Eyewitness, by passion and profession, since he worked as a reporter at Jornal de Montes Claros, he was in important historical events of the city. Montes-claridades is a walk through the people, streets and entities of Montes-Claridades, in an enthusiastic walk of someone present in many of the mentioned facts, at the same time living the event and reporting it to immortality. They are chronicles written in different times, and you can imagine when it was, by the narrated fact and by the characters, alive and dead. The theme “street names” is recurrent in the work, and, when waiting for us, there is a picturesque detail and pure surprise. Rua Dr. Santos, which pays homage to the doctor Antônio Teixeira de Carvalho, known as Doutor Santos, was the path of the boy Wanderlino Arruda. He went back and forth, whether as a salesman, news worker, or resident of a boarding house on that street, and then the Hotel São José, being able to, photographically, draw each building with words, detailing the characters inside it.
