Brian Sihdlham's infant son is sick and no one in his village can
help, so he starts on a trek to seek out the help of the most
powerful sound shaper he knows of: The Great Sage. Little did Brian
know that finding the old man was the easy part. The wizened shaper
tells him that to help his son, Brian needs to read and follow the
instructions on the Tablets of Wefas. Dark followers collide with
Brian as he seeks to find them, setting in motion a series of
events that have been foretold by prophets and prophecy for
thousands of years. The Tablet of Water follows Brian as he starts
his journey to learn about himself, his family, the magic of sound,
and what it means to follow the principles spelled out upon the
Tablets.
History, Memory, Performance is an interdisciplinary collection of
essays exploring performances of the past in a wide range of
trans-national and historical contexts. At its core are
contributions from theatre scholars and public historians
discussing how historical meaning is shaped through performance.
Navigating Time and Space in Population Studies presents innovative
approaches to long-standing questions about the diffusion of
population and demographic behavior across space and over time.
This collection utilizes newly-available historical data along with
spatially and temporally explicit analytical methods to evaluate
and refine core demographic theories and to pose new questions
about mortality and fertility transitions, migration, urbanization,
and social inequality. It adds a spatial dimension to the analysis
of temporal processes and a temporal element to spatial processes.
Chapters cover a broad range of geographical settings, including
the United States, Europe, Latin America, and the Islamic world,
and span time periods from the eighteenth to twentieth century.
Contributors from a variety of disciplines reveal the complexity of
factors involved in population processes that spread across space
and unfold over time, and demonstrate a rich set of tools with
which to explore, analyze, and test the spatial and temporal
dynamics of these phenomena. The theories, methods, and substantive
findings presented here provide new lenses through which to view
time and space in population studies, offering useful models and
valuable insights to demographers and other social scientists
exploring both historical and contemporary questions about
population dynamics anywhere in the world.
An authoritative overview of the developing field of public history
reflecting theory and practice around the globe This unique
reference guides readers through this relatively new field of
historical inquiry, exploring the varieties and forms of public
history, its relationship with popular history, and the ways in
which the field has evolved internationally over the past thirty
years. Comprised of thirty-four essays written by a group of
leading international scholars and public history practitioners,
the work not only introduces readers to the latest scholarly
academic research, but also to the practice and pedagogy of public
history. It pays equal attention to the emergence of public history
as a distinct field of historical inquiry in North America, the
importance of popular history and 'history from below' in Europe
and European colonial-settler states, and forms of historical
consciousness in non-Western countries and peoples. It also
provides a timely guide to the state of the discipline, and offers
an innovative and unprecedented engagement with methodological and
theoretical problems associated with public history. Generously
illustrated throughout, The Companion to Public History's chapters
are written from a variety of perspectives by contributors from all
continents and from a wide variety of backgrounds, disciplines, and
experiences. It is an excellent source for getting readers to think
about history in the public realm, and how present day concerns
shape the ways in which we engage with and represent the past.
