This is the first interdisciplinary history of Lake Tanganyika and
of eastern Africa's relationship with the wider Indian Ocean World
during the nineteenth century. Philip Gooding deploys diverse
source materials, including oral, climatological, anthropological,
and archaeological sources, to ground interpretations of the
better-known, European-authored archive in local epistemologies and
understandings of the past. Gooding shows that Lake Tanganyika's
shape, location, and distinctive lacustrine environment contributed
to phenomena traditionally associated with the history of the wider
Indian Ocean World being negotiated, contested, and re-imagined in
particularly robust ways. He adds novel contributions to African
and Indian Ocean histories of urbanism, the environment,
spirituality, kinship, commerce, consumption, material culture,
bondage, slavery, Islam, and capitalism. African peoples and
environments are positioned as central to the histories of global
economies, religions, and cultures.
This publication is directed at both attorneys and statisticians to
ensure they will work together successfully on the application of
statistics in the law. Attorneys will learn how best to utilize the
statistician's talents, while gaining an enriched understanding of
the law relevant to audits, jury selection, discrimination,
environmental hazards, evidence, and torts as it relates to
statistical issues. Statisticians will learn that the law is what
judges say it is and to frame their arguments accordingly. This
book will increase the effectiveness of both parties in presenting
and attacking statistical arguments in the courtroom. Topics
covered include sample and survey methods, probability, testing
hypotheses, and multiple regression.
This book examines trades in animals and animal products in the
history of the Indian Ocean World (IOW). An international array of
established and emerging scholars investigate how the roles of
equines, ungulates, sub-ungulates, mollusks, and avians expand our
understandings of commerce, human societies, and world systems.
Focusing primarily on the period 1500-1900, they explore how
animals and their products shaped the relationships between
populations in the IOW and Europeans arriving by maritime routes.
By elucidating this fundamental yet under-explored aspect of
encounters and exchanges in the IOW, these interdisciplinary essays
further our understanding of the region, the environment, and the
material, political and economic history of the world.
