Transformational Journeys - An Ethnologists Memoir, Transactions, American Philosophical Society (Vol. 106, Part 5)

de Victoria R. Bricker

57,62€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This is the professional memoir of an ethnologist, who studies the cultures and languages of ethnic groups, in the present and in the past. Brickers journeys -- from Hong Kong to Shanghai during World War II, to the U.S. after the war, to Germany, Harvard, southeastern Mexico, and eventually to New Orleans -- influenced her choice of ethnology as a career and shaped that career over 50 years. Ethnology served as the stepping stone for intellectual forays into other related fields, such as linguistics, ethnohistory, epigraphy, and astronomy, all focused on the Maya people of southern Mexico and Central America. Bricker, a Professor Emerita, is the author, with her husband, Harvey Bricker (1940-2017), of Astronomy in the Maya Codices. Illus.

A Life For Water - A Memoir, Transactions, American Philosophical Society (Vol. 108, Part 4)

de Luna Bergere Leopold

57,62€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Luna Leopold (1915-2006) is widely viewed as the foremost student of rivers of the 20th century. This volume presents a selection of informal essays written over the course of his long career. These essays complement his professional articles and books, and they illustrate how he became increasingly concerned with environmental degradation. Leopold argued forcefully that engineering solutions should be ethically framed as well as practical, and with that in mind, in 1969 he drafted the first environmental impact statement. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1991 Illus.

Season Of Conspiracy - Calvin, The French Reformed Churches, And Protestant Plotting In The Reign Of Francis Ii (1559-60), Transactions, American Philosophical Society (Vol.

de Philip Benedict

43,22€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This volume considers the March 1560 conspiracy of Amboise and subsequent plots devised later that year to remove the young King Francis II from the sway of his chief advisors of the house of Guise and improve the legal situation of Frances Protestant movement. New and rediscovered evidence reveals the conspiracies to have been more closely linked to the network of Reformed churches within France and to John Calvin in Geneva than previously understood. The results compel a reconsideration not only of events that are often said to have constituted the first act of the French Wars of Religion, but also of Calvins political engagement and sagacity.
