There has been a profound shift in the direction of archaeological activity in the last fifteen years, a change reflected in this volume. While excavation remains a professional priority, the interpretation of archaeological evidence is now attracting increasing critical study. In part this is stemmed from the public demand for explanation of archaeological evidence, which moves beyond the more restricted academic debate among archaeologists. But it also follows from a desire among archaeologists to come to terms with their own subjective approaches to the material they study, and a recognition of how past researchers have also imposed their own value systems on the evidence which they presented. This volume provides a forum for debate between varied approaches to the past from leading archaeologists in Europe, North America, Asia and Australasia. It addresses the philosophical issues involved in interpretation, and the origins of meaning in the evolution and emergence of 'mind' in early hominids. It covers the ways in which material culture is understood and presented in museums, and how the nature of history is itself in flux.

Conducting research and technology design for domestic life is by
no means easy. Methods commonly used in the field of Human-Computer
Interaction in settings like the workplace may not easily translate
to the richness and complexity of domestic life. This book
documents new ways in which researchers are studying domestic life,
as well as designing and evaluating technology in the home. Each
chapter is a candid discussion about methods that were successfully
used for research studies with a focus on the challenges that the
researchers faced and the best practices they learned.
This book provides the Greek text and an English translation of
Aristarchus of Samos’ On the Sizes and Distances of the Sun and
Moon, with full introduction, detailed commentary, and relevant
scholia.

Are they TRYING to get themselves killed?
The Radical Ecology of the Shelleys: Eros and Environment is the
first full-length study to explore a radically queer ecology at
work in writings by Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft
Shelley as their discussions of nature and the natural consistently
link ecology and erotic practice. Initiated by Timothy Morton in
2010 as a hybrid of two schools of thinking about nature, queer
ecology combines the alertness of environmentalists to
constructions of the "natural" with efforts of sexuality scholars
to denaturalize identity and to expose sexuality as a culture-bound
construct. Conceptions of place are central to this investigation
not only because an attachment to place is traditionally thought to
be the ontological basis of all environmental consciousness (e.g.
think-globally-act-locally) but because these two Romantic writers
underscore the dynamic interaction between a person's natural
surroundings and his/her interpersonal attachments. The poetical
and prose writings of the Shelleys claim our special attention
because of their unusual conception of the oikos, the etymological
root of "ecology," to mean both local grounds and the social, often
domestic, places in which people dwell and desire. The overarching
thesis of this book asserts that proto-ecological theories in
Romantic-era England cannot be understood separately from
discourses related to married/family life, and the texts considered
demonstrate the comingling of earthly and erotic enjoyment. The
issues raised by Eros and Environment are fundamental not only to
literary and queer history but to all humanistic studies. They
render the study of nature from a queer perspective a matter of
intense interest to scholars in numerous disciplines ranging from
ecocriticism and the natural sciences, including climate studies,
to feminist criticism and sexuality studies.

Originally published in 1985. China is currently making a massive
effort to educate its workforce in a formal and structured system.
A good deal has been written about China's attempts, since 1949, to
eradicate illiteracy and to universalise primary and secondary
school education but the subject of this book is an educational
system established to meet the needs of those already employed
whether in government, industry or agriculture. Two study teams,
sponsored by the lnternational Council for Adult Education, visited
China in 1981 to explore this educational phenomenon. Their
findings, updated by subsequent ICAE visits and enriched by further
reading, form the basis of this book. This is the story of the
Chinese experience of developing adult education. It will be
valuable to those involved in extending education in the
industrialised world who are pursuing modernisation goals for
people long excluded from the formal education system.

'This book is a character study for the future of British Archaeology as it seeks to define its role for the coming millennium.' - New Scientist
'Managing archaeology will undoubtedly emerge as a milestone in archaeological literature and will prove particularly valuable for those already on the professional career ladder.' - Antiquity
'It presents a broad view of the inner mechanisms of contemporary British Archaeology and its preoccupations and will be of interest to those working within the profession as well as providing useful insights for those less formally involved.' - Archaeological Journal
'This book is essential reading for all those involved in the practice of archaeology.' - International Journal of Heritage Studies
'Anyone interested in the process of archaeology will find something to interest them in this multi-authored volume ... This is an important volume because it raises many of the issues which archaeologists think about but do not necessarily talk about.' - Tim Schadla-Hall, The Archaeologist
'What emerges from this volume is a clear understanding that archaeology is now both a discipline, a scholarly academic undertaking, and a profession, a service provided to others for a consideration, not always monetary in nature.' - Historical Archaeology
There has been a profound shift in the direction of archaeological
activity in the last 15 years. While excavation remains a
professional priority, the interpretation of archaeological
evidence is now attracting increasing critical study. In part, this
stems from the public demand for explanation of archaeological
evidence, which moves beyond the more restricted academic debate
among archaeologists. But it also follows from a desire among
archaeologists to come to terms with their own subjective
approaches to the material they study, and a recognition of how
past researchers have also imposed their own value systems on the
evidence which they presented. This volume provides a forum for
debate between varied approaches to the past. The authors, drawn
from Europe, North America, Aisa and Australasia, represent many
different strands of archaeology. It addresses the philosophical
issues involved in interpretation, and the origins of meaning in
the evolution and emergence of "mind" in early hominids. It covers
the ways in which material culture is understood, and presented in
museums, and how the nature of history is itself in flux.
Amply illustrated with pen & ink drawings, and including a
glossary of key terms, this volume, originally published in 1955,
traces the history of firearms and the pioneers who made that
history, step by step, to the fringe of a complex modern science.
How are processes of vision, perception, and sensation conceived in
the Renaissance? How are those conceptions made manifest in the
arts? The essays in this volume address these and similar questions
to establish important theoretical and philosophical bases for
artistic production in the Renaissance and beyond. The essays also
attend to the views of historically significant writers from the
ancient classical period to the eighteenth century, including
Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, St Augustine, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Ibn
al-Haytham (Alhazen), Ibn Sahl, Marsilio Ficino, Nicholas of Cusa,
Leon Battista Alberti, Gian Paolo Lomazzo, Gregorio Comanini, John
Davies, Rene Descartes, Samuel van Hoogstraten, and George
Berkeley. Contributors carefully scrutinize and illustrate the
effect of changing and evolving ideas of intellectual and physical
vision on artistic practice in Florence, Rome, Venice, England,
Austria, and the Netherlands. The artists whose work and practices
are discussed include Fra Angelico, Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci,
Filippino Lippi, Giovanni Bellini, Raphael, Parmigianino, Titian,
Bronzino, Johannes Gumpp and Rembrandt van Rijn. Taken together,
the essays provide the reader with a fresh perspective on the
intellectual confluence between art, science, philosophy, and
literature across Renaissance Europe.

Effective management is becoming increasingly important in all
aspects of archaeology. Archaeologists must manage the artefacts
thay deal with, their funding, ancient sites, as well as the
practice of archaeology itself. Managing Archaeology is a collecton
of outstanding papers from experts involved in these many areas.
The contributors focus on the principles and practice of management
in the 1990s, covering such crucial aeas as the management of
contract and field archaeology, heritage management, marketing, law
and information technology. The resulting volume is important and
informative reading for archaeologists and heritage managers, as
well as planners, policy makers and environmental consultants.
How are processes of vision, perception, and sensation conceived in
the Renaissance? How are those conceptions made manifest in the
arts? The essays in this volume address these and similar questions

Volume 1 of Visual Century: South African Art in Context 1907-1948
is part of a four-volume publication that reappraises South African
visual art of the twentieth century from a postapartheid
perspective. Volume 1 begins after the South African War when
efforts were made to unify the white `races'. It ends with the
coming to power of the Afrikaner nationalists. The period
encompasses two world wars, the incremental dispossession of the
rights of black South Africans, and the rise of organised black
South African resistance to white rule. Jillian Carman, the editor
of this volume, notes that art is not created in a vacuum. In her
introductory essay titled `Other Ways of Seeing' she notes that
this volume sets the overall approach: "an interpretation of the
history of twentieth century visual art in South Africa against the
backdrop of momentous social and political events". This volume
provides critical perspectives on the ideological and institutional
frameworks for white and black artists of the period, and the art
they produced. Discussions of public art and architecture,
traditionalist African art, and Western-style painting and
sculpture are complemented with consideration of the roles played
by museums, training, art societies and exhibitions, art historical
writing, and patronage. Fresh perspectives on the art of the fi rst
half of the twentieth century highlight complexities that still
resonate today.
