    Keywords: Siriono Indians ; Siriono Indians--Cultural assimilation ; Indians of South America--Bolivia--Cultural assimilation ; Sirionó ; Sirionó
    Abstract: This collection about the Sirionó consists of five English language documents plus a culture summary, covering a time span from approximately 1900 to 1984. The Holmberg and Stearman studies are the basic works providing a broad general coverage of Sirionó ethnography. Holmberg is the classic study of the Sirionó based on his fieldwork among these people in 1940-1941. Stearman is largely a review of Holmberg's fieldwork with an update of ethnographic material to about 1984. She describes the affects of acculturation on the Sirionó since Holmberg's visit, and provides additional data on the general economy. Material culture is described and illustrated in Ryden and in Radwan. Radwan also presents some brief comments on general ethnography and on contacts with missionaries. The Sirionó inhabit an extensive tropical forest in northern and eastern Bolivia

    Keywords: Baseri tribe ; Basseri ; Basseri
    Abstract: In addition to a culture summary, the Basseri collection consists of two anthropological studies by Fredrik Barth. The first, published in 1961, is based on ethnographic materials collected in the period from December 1957 to July 1958 while the author was living with the Danbar tribal section of Basseri. The book describes and analyses Basseri social and economic organization in terms of a general ecological perspective. The focus is on the processes through which the Basseri organize nomadic herding and relate to one another as members of different households, herding units, camps, lineages (oulad) and tribal sections (tira). The second document, published in 1964, discusses the nature of Basseri pastoral economy and its implications for social structure. Together, these documents provide a first-hand account and analysis of Basseri economy and social organization, but contain little information on arts, language, medicine, death and afterlife. The Basseri are a pastoral nomadic people living around Shiraz, capital of the Iranian province of Fars, in land that stretches between deserts in the south to high mountain ranges in the north

    Abstract: This collection of 28 documents about the peoples of the Woleai Region focuses primarily on the atoll of Ifaluk, and contains information on three time periods: the early 20th century, the late 1940s-mid-1950s, and the late 1980s to the early 1990s. The earliest information comes from travel reports by German explorers and missionaries who lived and worked in the region from 1904-1910; the other writings are by professional anthropologists. Together, the documents show that life in this region remains largely traditional, despite many years of administration by successive external powers. The Woleai Region is an administrative section of Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Woleai is the largest group of closely related atolls in the central and west-central Caroline Islands that also includes Eauripik, Ifaluk, Faraulep, Elato, and Lamotrek. Residents label themselves by means of a nominal prefixed to their particular island name, as in reweleya, which means "person of Woleai (nationality)" and speak dialects of Woleaian, a Micronesian language of the Eatern Oceanic Branch of Austronesian

    Keywords: Tehuelche Indians--Folklore ; Tehuelche mythology ; Tehuelche Indians ; Tzoneca language--Glossaries, vocabularies, etc ; Patagonia--Description and travel ; Indians of South America--Costume ; ndians of South America--Patagonia (Argentina and Chile) ; Tehuelche ; Tehuelche
    Abstract: This collection about the Tehuelche consists of ten documents; eight in English and two in Spanish. The documents can be broadly categorized into three groups by time period and the information they cover. The first group consists of documents by a colonial administrator and a European explorer of Patagonia, and provide a first-hand account of Tehuelche society and culture, with particular emphasis on hunting methods, diet, warfare, social organization, inter-ethnic relations, religion, important ceremonies and the natural environment, prior to their forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The second group consists of documents by professional anthropologists who sought to recreate a picture of pre-conquest Tehuelche society by building on information by earlier writers. Topics covered by these documents include aspects of culture, territoriality and social structure, folklore, and mythology. The third group consists of just one book, but fills a critical gap by documenting the political and cultural processes that led to the gradual extinction of the Tehuelche beginning from their first contact with Europeans in 1520 to their final forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The Tehuelche were primarily hunter-gatherers living mostly in Patagonia, Argentina, and southern Chile

    Keywords: Bambara (African people) ; Bambara ; Bambara
    Abstract: This collection of 12 documents is about the Bambara, a Mande-speaking people located primarily in Mali, West Africa. It covers information from two time periods: 1910-1950s and 1988-2003. Materials on the first period consist of four books translated from French. The earliest of these books are by a French Roman Catholic missionary, Henry, and a colonial administrator, Monteil, who lived among the Bambara from around 1900 to 1923. Henry discusses Bambara psychology and religion through broader explorations into their ideas on human life, taboos, animism, cults, sacrifices, and ceremonials relating to circumcision, marriage and funerals, while Monteil focuses on history and administrative practices with particular emphasis on functions of age-groups, religious cults, secret societies and territorial lineages. Both authors occasionally characterize the Bambara using strongly negative stereotypes that seem highly colored by their own respective religious and political views. Comprehensive ethnographic information on Bambara culture and society can be found in the remaining two books, Dieterlen and Paques. Both authors are professional French ethnographers with extensive field work experience in the region. Materials on the second period focus on Bambara economy and household dynamics. Toulmin and Becker (1996) discuss the constraints and opportunities different household heads encounter in attempting to enhance their access to key productive resources (land, labor and capital in the form of cattle and cash). Wooten, Becker (2000) and Grosz Ngate examine the impacts of increasing commoditization of rural economy on household food security, gender and intra-household relations

    Keywords: Burusho ; Hunzukuc ; Hunzukuc
    Abstract: This collection consists of 9 documents about the Burusho, a mountain people living primarily in the Hunza valley, but also in the Nagar and Yasin areas, and in the Gilgit district of the northern areas of Pakistan. All are in English except Lorimer, which provides both the original text in Burushaski and its translation into English. Four documents by David L. Lorimer, a British political agent who lived in Hunza from 1920 to 1924, and his wife, Emily O. Lorimer, focus on folklore, local traditions and linguistic issues. John Tobe's work tries to correct popular western views which wrongly regarded Hunza as a paradise where people live extraordinarily long healthy lifes. John Clark compliments Tobe's work by listing the many cases of disease which he encountered while maintaining a general dispensary in the area in 1948-1951. The remaining two documents discuss economy, ecology and social organization

    Abstract: This collection of fifteen documents centers primarily on the city of Rome, and secondarily on the Roman Empire at the height of the imperial period. All documents are in English (and some are also in Latin). Most focus on the first century AD, particularly from the death of Augustus in 14 AD to the accession of Trajan in 98 AD, with less emphasis on the principate of Augustus itself and on the period of 99-192 AD. The most comprehensive studies for an overall understanding of Imperial Roman history and ethnography are: Carcopino, Rostovtsev, Lewis and Reinhold, and Pellisson. Both Carcopino and Pellisson are chiefly concerned with the daily life of the citizens of Rome, while Rostovtsev deals with the social and economic history of the empire, and Lewis and Reinhold with imperial policies and administration, economic life, society and culture, life in the municipalities and provinces, the Roman army, law, and religion (particularly with the rise and eventual triumph of Christianity). The works by Columella present one of the most comprehensive and systematic of all treatises by a Roman writer on agricultural affairs and animal husbandry. Loane presents a detailed study of the provisioning of the city of Rome (50 BC-200 AD), including data on various aspects of trade, manufacturing, and other associated commercial activities. Rivenburg gives an account of what Seneca thought about the fashionable life and manners of this day (i. e., 35-65 AD). Tanzier, an archaeologist, attempts to study the life of the common people of Pompeii as revealed through their graffiti, friezes, and wall paintings which were preserved in the ashes resulting from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. The documents by Pliny the Elder are all from his Natural History, and deal with ethnometeorology and ethnogeography, ethnosociology, ethnopsychology and ethoanatomy, the medicinal use of plants, and a study of metals, minerals and a history of art

    Abstract: This collection of six documents about the Semang covers four time periods: mid-1920s to late 1930s, mid-1950s, early 1970s, and 1993-1996. It documents the Semang's engagement with state and market forces over the degradation of the forests from which they take their identity and modes of life. At least nine distinct cultural-linguistic subgroups still exist: Kensiu of eastern Kedah (near Baling) and southern Thailand (Yala Province); Kintak of northwestern Perak (near Gerik); Jahai of northestern Perak and northwestern Kelantan; Lanòh of northwestern Perak (near Gerik); Mendriq of central Kelantan; Batèk D̀̀̀̀̀è' of southeastern Kelantan and northern Pahang; Batèk Nòng of central Pahang (near Jerantut); Mintil of north-central Pahang (near Cegar Perah); and Mos (or Chong) of the Pattalung-Trang area in southern peninsular Thailand.

    Keywords: Comanche Indians ; Comanchen ; Comanchen
    Abstract: This collection of 16 documents and a culture summary provide a variety of cultural, historical and environmental information from two historical periods. The first covers the Comanche's long history from antiquity to their first contact with Europeans in 1701, to their defeat by the United States army in the 1870s. The second is from 1875 to the 1990s, and includes the Comanche's 1875 confinement to a reservation, and 1901-1906 when that reservation was broken into scattered allotments. All documents are in English except Canonge which includes stories and folktales in the Comanche language with English translations. The Comanche are a loosely organized Native American group who, before their confinement to reservations, occupied the southern Great Plains grasslands across southeastern Colorado, eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma, and western Texas. The headquarters of the Comanche Nation is now in southwest Oklahoma

En abordant les effets macroéconomiques des politiques d’infrastructures de transport, elle visait à dresser un inventaire des outils analytiques et empiriques qui servent à déterminer le volume global des dépenses publiques à engager dans l’investissement en infrastructures de transport. Les documents de référence ont été fournis par MM. David Canning (Université de Harvard), Charles Hulten (Université du Maryland) et Andreas Kopp (Centre conjoint OCDE-CEMT de recherche sur le transports).

    Keywords: Indians of South America--Bolivia--Cultural assimilation ; Siriono Indians ; Siriono Indians--Cultural assimilation
    Abstract: This collection about the Siriońo consists of five English language documents plus a culture summary, covering a time span from approximately 1900 to 1984. The Holmberg and Stearman studies are the basic works providing a broad general coverage of Siriońo ethnography. Holmberg is the classic study of the Siriońo based on his fieldwork among these people in 1940-1941. Stearman is largely a review of Holmberg's fieldwork with an update of ethnographic material to about 1984. She describes the affects of acculturation on the Siriońo since Holmberg's visit, and provides additional data on the general economy. Material culture is described and illustrated in Ryden and in Radwan. Radwan also presents some brief comments on general ethnography and on contacts with missionaries. The Siriońo inhabit an extensive tropical forest in northern and eastern Bolivia

    Keywords: Burusho
    Abstract: This collection consists of 9 documents about the Burusho, a mountain people living primarily in the Hunza valley, but also in the Nagar and Yasin areas, and in the Gilgit district of the northern areas of Pakistan. All are in English except Lorimer, which provides both the original text in Burushaski and its translation into English. Four documents by David L. Lorimer, a British political agent who lived in Hunza from 1920 to 1924, and his wife, Emily O. Lorimer, focus on folklore, local traditions and linguistic issues. John Tobe's work tries to correct popular western views which wrongly regarded Hunza as a paradise where people live extraordinarily long healthy lifes. John Clark compliments Tobe's work by listing the many cases of disease which he encountered while maintaining a general dispensary in the area in 1948-1951. The remaining two documents discuss economy, ecology and social organization

    Keywords: Bambara (African people)
    Abstract: This collection of 12 documents is about the Bambara, a Mande-speaking people located primarily in Mali, West Africa. It covers information from two time periods: 1910-1950s and 1988-2003. Materials on the first period consist of four books translated from French. The earliest of these books are by a French Roman Catholic missionary, Henry, and a colonial administrator, Monteil, who lived among the Bambara from around 1900 to 1923. Henry discusses Bambara psychology and religion through broader explorations into their ideas on human life, taboos, animism, cults, sacrifices, and ceremonials relating to circumcision, marriage and funerals, while Monteil focuses on history and administrative practices with particular emphasis on functions of age-groups, religious cults, secret societies and territorial lineages. Both authors occasionally characterize the Bambara using strongly negative stereotypes that seem highly colored by their own respective religious and political views. Comprehensive ethnographic information on Bambara culture and society can be found in the remaining two books, Dieterlen and Paques. Both authors are professional French ethnographers with extensive field work experience in the region. Materials on the second period focus on Bambara economy and household dynamics. Toulmin and Becker (1996) discuss the constraints and opportunities different household heads encounter in attempting to enhance their access to key productive resources (land, labor and capital in the form of cattle and cash). Wooten, Becker (2000) and Grosz Ngate examine the impacts of increasing commoditization of rural economy on household food security, gender and intra-household relations

    Abstract: This collection of 28 documents about the peoples of the Woleai Region focuses primarily on the atoll of Ifaluk, and contains information on three time periods: the early 20th century, the late 1940s-mid-1950s, and the late 1980s to the early 1990s. The earliest information comes from travel reports by German explorers and missionaries who lived and worked in the region from 1904-1910; the other writings are by professional anthropologists. Together, the documents show that life in this region remains largely traditional, despite many years of administration by successive external powers. The Woleai Region is an administrative section of Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Woleai is the largest group of closely related atolls in the central and west-central Caroline Islands that also includes Eauripik, Ifaluk, Faraulep, Elato, and Lamotrek. Residents label themselves by means of a nominal prefixed to their particular island name, as in reweleya, which means "person of Woleai (nationality)" and speak dialects of Woleaian, a Micronesian language of the Eatern Oceanic Branch of Austronesian

    Keywords: Cherokee Indians ; Cherokee Indians--Social life and customs ; North Carolina--Social life and customs
    Abstract: This collection about the Cherokee consists of 46 documents, and covers the time span from 1540, the period of the first Cherokee-European contacts, to the early twenty-first century. Emphasis is placed on culture history, economy, society, and Cherokee-Euro-American relations. Others focus on folklore, myths, and magical formulas. Most deal with the topics of socio-cultural change and acculturation. Three authors, Strickland, Reid, and Reid, concentrate on Cherokee law and government. Fox deals with sex and gender in Cherokee society; Perdue with the invention of the Cherokee writing system; McLoughlin with the origin and development of the Cherokee Ghost Dance; and both Irwin and Fogelson cover shamanism, witchcraft, sorcery, and mysticism. The Cherokee are an Iroquoian-speaking people who originally occupied the southern Appalachians of North America. In 1838-1839 a major portion of the Cherokee were forcibly removed from their homeland by the United States government to the present state of Oklahoma along the infamous Trail of Tears. In the early twenty-first century there are two main groups: the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma

    Abstract: This collection of fifteen documents centers primarily on the city of Rome, and secondarily on the Roman Empire at the height of the imperial period. All documents are in English (and some are also in Latin). Most focus on the first century AD, particularly from the death of Augustus in 14 AD to the accession of Trajan in 98 AD, with less emphasis on the principate of Augustus itself and on the period of 99-192 AD. The most comprehensive studies for an overall understanding of Imperial Roman history and ethnography are: Carcopino, Rostovtsev, Lewis and Reinhold, and Pellisson. Both Carcopino and Pellisson are chiefly concerned with the daily life of the citizens of Rome, while Rostovtsev deals with the social and economic history of the empire, and Lewis and Reinhold with imperial policies and administration, economic life, society and culture, life in the municipalities and provinces, the Roman army, law, and religion (particularly with the rise and eventual triumph of Christianity). The works by Columella present one of the most comprehensive and systematic of all treatises by a Roman writer on agricultural affairs and animal husbandry. Loane presents a detailed study of the provisioning of the city of Rome (50 BC-200 AD), including data on various aspects of trade, manufacturing, and other associated commercial activities. Rivenburg gives an account of what Seneca thought about the fashionable life and manners of this day (i. e., 35-65 AD). Tanzier, an archaeologist, attempts to study the life of the common people of Pompeii as revealed through their graffiti, friezes, and wall paintings which were preserved in the ashes resulting from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. The documents by Pliny the Elder are all from his Natural History, and deal with ethnometeorology and ethnogeography, ethnosociology, ethnopsychology and ethoanatomy, the medicinal use of plants, and a study of metals, minerals and a history of art

    Keywords: Indians of South America--Costume ; Patagonia--Description and travel ; Tehuelche Indians ; Tehuelche Indians--Folklore ; Tehuelche mythology ; Tzoneca language--Glossaries, vocabularies, etc ; ndians of South America--Patagonia (Argentina and Chile)
    Abstract: This collection about the Tehuelche consists of ten documents; eight in English and two in Spanish. The documents can be broadly categorized into three groups by time period and the information they cover. The first group consists of documents by a colonial administrator and a European explorer of Patagonia, and provide a first-hand account of Tehuelche society and culture, with particular emphasis on hunting methods, diet, warfare, social organization, inter-ethnic relations, religion, important ceremonies and the natural environment, prior to their forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The second group consists of documents by professional anthropologists who sought to recreate a picture of pre-conquest Tehuelche society by building on information by earlier writers. Topics covered by these documents include aspects of culture, territoriality and social structure, folklore, and mythology. The third group consists of just one book, but fills a critical gap by documenting the political and cultural processes that led to the gradual extinction of the Tehuelche beginning from their first contact with Europeans in 1520 to their final forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The Tehuelche were primarily hunter-gatherers living mostly in Patagonia, Argentina, and southern Chile

    Abstract: The collection about the people of Ulithi consists of two documents and a culture summary. The two documents, both by Lessa and both in English, cover the time span from about 1900 to 1949. They present a comprehensive ethnographic study of Ulithi Atoll conducted by the author over a nine month period of fieldwork from 1947 through 1949, and a collection of previously unpublished myths and folktales from Ulithi. The people of Ulithi live on the Ulithi atoll in the west-central Caroline Islands of the western Pacific, and speak a dialect of Chuukese. Ulithi has undergone strong culture change since the atoll came under United States control in 1944

    Keywords: Baseri tribe
    Abstract: In addition to a culture summary, the Basseri collection consists of two anthropological studies by Fredrik Barth. The first, published in 1961, is based on ethnographic materials collected in the period from December 1957 to July 1958 while the author was living with the Danbar tribal section of Basseri. The book describes and analyses Basseri social and economic organization in terms of a general ecological perspective. The focus is on the processes through which the Basseri organize nomadic herding and relate to one another as members of different households, herding units, camps, lineages (oulad) and tribal sections (tira). The second document, published in 1964, discusses the nature of Basseri pastoral economy and its implications for social structure. Together, these documents provide a first-hand account and analysis of Basseri economy and social organization, but contain little information on arts, language, medicine, death and afterlife. The Basseri are a pastoral nomadic people living around Shiraz, capital of the Iranian province of Fars, in land that stretches between deserts in the south to high mountain ranges in the north

    Keywords: Acculturation ; Cree Indians ; Cree Indians--Social life and customs
    Abstract: This collection of eight documents is about the Western Woods Cree who lived aboriginally in the boreal forests from Hudson and James Bays westward to the Peace River in Canada. In the early twenty-first century they are found primarily in the region between Lake Superior and Hudson Bay. Mason provides an overview of the Western Woods Cree ethnography; Smith (1981) presents a brief summary of some of the major features of their ethnography dating from the seventeenth to the late twentieth centuries, with an emphasis on the western Swampy and Rocky Cree populations. Two of the studies in this collection by Smith (1976, 1987) discuss and analyze the ethnological 'myth' dealing with the movement of the Western Woods Cree to the southwest areas at the time of the initial Euro-American contact. According to this belief French and English guns gave the Cree technological superiority over their neighbors to the west and southwest and permitted them to move easily into the conquered lands. Evidence for pottery making at the time of early Euro-American contacts is discussed by Meyer. Fisher describes the socio-cultural evolution of the hunting band discussed in terms of social, ecological, and historical variables within the society. Hallowell presents a study of cross-cousin marriage in relationship to the kinship system

    Keywords: Comanche Indians
    Abstract: This collection of 16 documents and a culture summary provide a variety of cultural, historical and environmental information from two historical periods. The first covers the Comanche's long history from antiquity to their first contact with Europeans in 1701, to their defeat by the United States army in the 1870s. The second is from 1875 to the 1990s, and includes the Comanche's 1875 confinement to a reservation, and 1901-1906 when that reservation was broken into scattered allotments. All documents are in English except Canonge which includes stories and folktales in the Comanche language with English translations. The Comanche are a loosely organized Native American group who, before their confinement to reservations, occupied the southern Great Plains grasslands across southeastern Colorado, eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma, and western Texas. The headquarters of the Comanche Nation is now in southwest Oklahoma

    Abstract: This collection of six documents about the Semang covers four time periods: mid-1920s to late 1930s, mid-1950s, early 1970s, and 1993-1996. It documents the Semang's engagement with state and market forces over the degradation of the forests from which they take their identity and modes of life. At least nine distinct cultural-linguistic subgroups still exist: Kensiu of eastern Kedah (near Baling) and southern Thailand (Yala Province); Kintak of northwestern Perak (near Gerik); Jahai of northestern Perak and northwestern Kelantan; Lanòh of northwestern Perak (near Gerik); Mendriq of central Kelantan; Batèk D̀̀̀̀̀è' of southeastern Kelantan and northern Pahang; Batèk Nòng of central Pahang (near Jerantut); Mintil of north-central Pahang (near Cegar Perah); and Mos (or Chong) of the Pattalung-Trang area in southern peninsular Thailand.

    Keywords: Burusho
    Abstract: This collection consists of 9 documents about the Burusho, a mountain people living primarily in the Hunza valley, but also in the Nagar and Yasin areas, and in the Gilgit district of the northern areas of Pakistan. All are in English except Lorimer, which provides both the original text in Burushaski and its translation into English. Four documents by David L. Lorimer, a British political agent who lived in Hunza from 1920 to 1924, and his wife, Emily O. Lorimer, focus on folklore, local traditions and linguistic issues. John Tobe's work tries to correct popular western views which wrongly regarded Hunza as a paradise where people live extraordinarily long healthy lifes. John Clark compliments Tobe's work by listing the many cases of disease which he encountered while maintaining a general dispensary in the area in 1948-1951. The remaining two documents discuss economy, ecology and social organization

    Abstract: This collection of fifteen documents centers primarily on the city of Rome, and secondarily on the Roman Empire at the height of the imperial period. All documents are in English (and some are also in Latin). Most focus on the first century AD, particularly from the death of Augustus in 14 AD to the accession of Trajan in 98 AD, with less emphasis on the principate of Augustus itself and on the period of 99-192 AD. The most comprehensive studies for an overall understanding of Imperial Roman history and ethnography are: Carcopino, Rostovtsev, Lewis and Reinhold, and Pellisson. Both Carcopino and Pellisson are chiefly concerned with the daily life of the citizens of Rome, while Rostovtsev deals with the social and economic history of the empire, and Lewis and Reinhold with imperial policies and administration, economic life, society and culture, life in the municipalities and provinces, the Roman army, law, and religion (particularly with the rise and eventual triumph of Christianity). The works by Columella present one of the most comprehensive and systematic of all treatises by a Roman writer on agricultural affairs and animal husbandry. Loane presents a detailed study of the provisioning of the city of Rome (50 BC-200 AD), including data on various aspects of trade, manufacturing, and other associated commercial activities. Rivenburg gives an account of what Seneca thought about the fashionable life and manners of this day (i. e., 35-65 AD). Tanzier, an archaeologist, attempts to study the life of the common people of Pompeii as revealed through their graffiti, friezes, and wall paintings which were preserved in the ashes resulting from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. The documents by Pliny the Elder are all from his Natural History, and deal with ethnometeorology and ethnogeography, ethnosociology, ethnopsychology and ethoanatomy, the medicinal use of plants, and a study of metals, minerals and a history of art

Studies include the earliest systematic attempts at reconstructing pre-reservation Ute culture and society, with particular emphasis on organization and composition of bands, settlement patterns and land use practices, as remembered by elderly informants in the 1930s and 1940s. These works also include detailed first hand descriptions of a bear dance performance, a peyote meeting and the sun dance which the authors personally observed. Other topics include mythology, concepts of nature and power, effects of oil money and development intervention and, aspects of history. Ute society was internally divided into several, but continuously fluid, bands and the history and interaction of each band with the state and market forces varied greatly. The Ute are a Native American group located in Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. At the time of European contact in the 1600s and 1700s, the Ute occupied much of central and eastern Utah and all of western Colorado, as well as minor portions of northwestern New Mexico, living as nomadic hunters and gatherers

The people of Ulithi live on the Ulithi atoll in the west-central Caroline Islands of the western Pacific, and speak a dialect of Chuukese.

    Keywords: Indians of South America--Costume ; Patagonia--Description and travel ; Tehuelche Indians ; Tehuelche Indians--Folklore ; Tehuelche mythology ; Tzoneca language--Glossaries, vocabularies, etc ; ndians of South America--Patagonia (Argentina and Chile)
    Abstract: This collection about the Tehuelche consists of ten documents; eight in English and two in Spanish. The documents can be broadly categorized into three groups by time period and the information they cover. The first group consists of documents by a colonial administrator and a European explorer of Patagonia, and provide a first-hand account of Tehuelche society and culture, with particular emphasis on hunting methods, diet, warfare, social organization, inter-ethnic relations, religion, important ceremonies and the natural environment, prior to their forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The second group consists of documents by professional anthropologists who sought to recreate a picture of pre-conquest Tehuelche society by building on information by earlier writers. Topics covered by these documents include aspects of culture, territoriality and social structure, folklore, and mythology. The third group consists of just one book, but fills a critical gap by documenting the political and cultural processes that led to the gradual extinction of the Tehuelche beginning from their first contact with Europeans in 1520 to their final forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The Tehuelche were primarily hunter-gatherers living mostly in Patagonia, Argentina, and southern Chile

    Abstract: Think Like a General…Lead Like an Executive “At their center, great organizations such as America's armed forces are the product of great leaders. This fantastic book reveals the keys to success within the military culture, as well as relevant and practical application tools for creating strong leaders today.” —Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness What distinguishes strategic leadership? According to top U.S. Army generals, the difference lies in the discipline of thinking. Because the problems strategic leaders face are often multi-faceted and can involve ethical dilemmas, these leaders must move beyond thinking tactically and take a longer term, broader approach to finding solutions. Through the U.S. Army War College and other senior-service colleges, the Army teaches strategic thinking to its officers, developing some of the most esteemed leaders of our time. Strategic Leadership: The General's Art provides aspiring leaders with an understanding of the behavior and competencies that make a good strategic leader. In line with the curriculum followed by senior officers attending the U.S. Army War College, this book teaches leaders how to think strategically in a volatile, uncertain environment and thereby to provide transformational leadership and shape outcomes. With contributions from senior military leaders as well as experts in the fields of strategic leadership, systems and critical thinking, and corporate culture, this invaluable reference shows readers how to move from mid-level manager to strategic-thinking senior executive.

    Abstract: Any organizational culture holds tremendous power. Culture is a system of closely held beliefs that require certain behaviors and exclude other behaviors. It sets norms on everything in the organization. To change the organizational culture, senior leaders must begin by acknowledging their place in the culture, engaging fully in the work of advancing the leadership culture, and standing up first so that others can follow.

    Abstract: After all the high-profile examples of ethical transgressions by top leaders in recent years, why do some leaders continue to make ethical mistakes? New research suggests that there is a pronounced disconnect between what leaders say they would do when faced with an ethical dilemma and what they might actually do. It also suggests that only when leaders begin to use specific strategies aimed directly at addressing certain biases and situational pressures will they be able to avoid ethical problems.

    Abstract: SELECTED AS A 2008 BEST BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE ECONOMIST The Net Generation Has Arrived. Are you ready for it? Chances are you know a person between the ages of 11 and 30. You've seen them doing five things at once: texting friends, downloading music, uploading videos, watching a movie on a two-inch screen, and doing who-knows-what on Facebook or MySpace. They're the first generation to have literally grown up digital--and they're part of a global cultural phenomenon that's here to stay. The bottom line is this: If you understand the Net Generation, you will understand the future. If you're a Baby Boomer or Gen-Xer: This is your field guide. A fascinating inside look at the Net Generation, Grown Up Digital is inspired by a $4 million private research study. New York Times bestselling author Don Tapscott has surveyed more than 11,000 young people. Instead of a bunch of spoiled “screenagers” with short attention spans and zero social skills, he discovered a remarkably bright community which has developed revolutionary new ways of thinking, interacting, working, and socializing. Grown Up Digital reveals: How the brain of the Net Generation processes information Seven ways to attract and engage young talent in the workforce Seven guidelines for educators to tap the Net Gen potential Parenting 2.0: There's no place like the new home Citizen Net: How young people and the Internet are transforming democracy Today's young people are using technology in ways you could never imagine. Instead of passively watching television, the “Net Geners” are actively participating in the distribution of entertainment and information. For the first time in history, youth are the authorities on something really important. And they're changing every aspect of our society-from the workplace to the marketplace, from the classroom to the living room, from the voting booth to the Oval Office. The Digital Age is here. The Net Generation has arrived. Meet the future.

    Abstract: This book is modeled after "Eighty-Eight Assignments for Development in Place," one of the Center for Creative Leadership's most popular publications. In the years since that report was published, we have learned more about development in place--from research, from working with managers and organizations that are making use of developmental assignments, and from our colleagues in the field. We believe it is time once again to consolidate our knowledge into one tool to help leaders add developmental assignments to their own jobs and help others do the same. The tables inside this book are full of assignments. You'll also find cross-references to CCL's assessment tools: 360 by Design, Executive Dimensions, Benchmarks, Prospector, and Skillscope. If you want to target the development of specific competencies as a result of receiving feedback from any of these, the cross-references will direct you to appropriate assignments.

    Abstract: Taiwan experienced a highly successful economic transformation in the last 50 years that produced one of Asia’s genuine ‘miracles’ of modern development, in terms of improvement in per capita income and overall quality of material well being for its citizens. The process, though, involved rapid industrialization and urbanization, and breakneck mass consumption, that inevitably resulted in rapid escalation in degradation of the island’s fragile air, water, and land, and produced some of the worst environmental pollution to be found anywhere in Asia This book examines the causes of Taiwan's environmental predicament, engaging in Taiwan's unique geological, geographical, demographical, political, industrial, historical and economic circumstances. In addition, Jack Williams and Ch'ang-yi David Chang assess the efforts of the government, NGOs and private citizens to create a "green" environmentally sustainable island, with a high tech economy based on the silicon chip, the backbone of Taiwan’s highly successful IT industry. Finally the authors discuss what can be done to improve Taiwan's environmental future. As the first commercially available book in English on Taiwan’s environmental problems this is an invaluable read for students and scholars interested in environmental studies, sustainable development and the island of Taiwan.

    Market Risk Analysis Volume I : Quantitative Methods in Finance (2008)

    Keywords: Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: Written by leading market risk academic, Professor Carol Alexander, Quantitative Methods in Finance forms part one of the Market Risk Analysis four volume set. Starting from the basics, this book helps readers to take the first step towards becoming a properly qualified financial risk manager and asset manager, roles that are currently in huge demand. Accessible to intelligent readers with a moderate understanding of mathematics at high school level or to anyone with a university degree in mathematics, physics or engineering, no prior knowledge of finance is necessary. Instead the emphasis is on understanding ideas rather than on mathematical rigour, meaning that this book offers a fast-track introduction to financial analysis for readers with some quantitative background, highlighting those areas of mathematics that are particularly relevant to solving problems in financial risk management and asset management. Unique to this book is a focus on both continuous and discrete time finance so that Quantitative Methods in Finance is not only about the application of mathematics to finance; it also explains, in very pedagogical terms, how the continuous time and discrete time finance disciplines meet, providing a comprehensive, highly accessible guide which will provide readers with the tools to start applying their knowledge immediately. All together, the Market Risk Analysis four volume set illustrates virtually every concept or formula with a practical, numerical example or a longer, empirical case study. Across all four volumes there are approximately 300 numerical and empirical examples, 400 graphs and figures and 30 case studies many of which are contained in interactive Excel spreadsheets available from the accompanying CD-ROM . Empirical examples and case studies specific to this volume include: Principal component analysis of European equity indices; Calibration of Student t distribution by maximum likelihood; Orthogonal regression and estimation of equity factor models; Simulations of geometric Brownian motion, and of correlated Student t variables; Pricing European and American options with binomial trees, and European options with the Black-Scholes-Merton formula; Cubic spline fitting of yields curves and implied volatilities; Solution of Markowitz problem with no short sales and other constraints; Calculation of risk adjusted performance metrics including generalised Sharpe ratio, omega and kappa indices.

    Abstract: Présentation Cette méthode permet d'accroître sa capacité de mémorisation. Le principe en est totalement original car il s'appuie sur les 5 sens. En effet, chacun fait appel à son expérience sensorielle pour mémoriser les choses, et chacun privilégie certains sens sur d'autres, généralement à son insu. Aussi, pour bien retenir quelque chose, il faut commencer par découvrir la manière que l'on a de percevoir le monde. Ensuite, il s'agira de se mettre en état de percevoir ce que l'on doit mémoriser, donc de mobiliser ses sens prédominants. Ce petit guide explique simplement le mécanisme de la perception et de la mémoire, et propose des exercices de relaxation pour accroître sa réceptivité, et des exercices de mémorisation pour s'exercer. Au sommaire La méthode Les cinq portes d'entrée Les autoroutes de notre cheminement mental Modèle temporaire Cadre et atmosphère idéaux Confiance et prédiction La structure Le processus Evocation Association Dissociation Verrouillage Situer et stocker Concentration Trucs et recettes Etre en forme pour bien retenir Les trois niveaux de la dimension humaine à prendre en compte Mouvement et respiration La relaxation créatrice Les rituels La répétition Implanter le "signe-signal" La palette d'outils Les boutons Exercices de relaxation pour favoriser la mémorisation Premier exercice, de respiration Deuxième exercice, d'identification de son parcours mental Troisième exercice, de mémorisation Quatrième exercice, la palette d'outils Exercices de mémorisation Le bouche-à-oreille Je pars en voyage Le jeu de Kim Le monde change Mémorisation de mots Remonter le temps Mémorisation visuelle Le trouv-oire Pour en savoir plus

    Abstract: The third volume in the internationally bestselling McKinsey Trilogy, The McKinsey Engagement is an action guide to realizing the consistently high level of business solutions achieved by the experts at the world’s most respected consulting firms. Former consultant Dr. Paul Friga distills the guiding principles first presented in the bestselling The McKinsey Way and the tested-in-the-trenches methodologies outlined in The McKinsey Mind , and combines them with many of the principles and procedures implemented by the military and other organizations. The result is nothing less than the business equivalent of a Special Forces Field Manual . True to its stated goal of arming consultants and corporate problem solvers with a blueprint for achieving consistently phenomenal results, The McKinsey Engagement is short on theory and long on action. Each chapter focuses on one element in the celebrated TEAM FOCUS problem-solving model and features a concise discussion of a key concept or principle, followed by: Clear rules of engagement A set of operating tactics Sophisticated problem solving tools Easy-to-follow action steps Exercises, checklists, and training tips War stories and best practices case studies A toolkit for bringing clarity, discipline, and purpose to all your problem-solving and change management initiatives, The McKinsey Engagement is an indispensable guide for consultants, as well as for executives, managers, students, and corporate trainers.

    Abstract: Over the past decade, the world has witnessed an explosion in the development and deployment of new wireless network technologies. From cellular mobile telephony to the ubiquitous “WiFi networks in coffee-shops and airports, to the emerging WiMAX wireless broadband access networks, the menu of wireless access systems has become so comprehensive that wireline access to user devices may soon become a relic of the past. Wireless Networking serves as a one-stop view of cellular, WiFi, and WiMAX networks, as well as the emerging wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. Rather than provide descriptive accounts of these technologies and standards, the book emphasizes conceptual perspectives on the modeling, analysis, design and optimization of such networks. Furthermore, the authors present wireless networking within the unifying framework of resource allocation, using simple abstractions of the underlying physical wireless communication. In short, Wireless Networking is an in-depth, exhaustive, and invaluable asset to anyone working in this rapidly evolving field. Goes beyond descriptive and qualitative treatments, by presenting the foundations underlying the various wireless networking technologies Provides abstractions, models and analyses of established and emerging wireless networks, thereby supplying the reader with a conceptual and quantitative treatment, thus ensuring longevity of the learning from this material Aids comprehension by including over 120 figures, four appendices on the mathematics of the various models, several inline exercises, and extensive problem sets at the end of each chapter

    Abstract: For organizations to thrive, indeed to survive, in today's global economy, we must find ways to dramatically improve the performance of large-scale projects. Applying the concepts of complexity theory can complement conventional project management approaches and enable us to adapt to the unrelenting change that we ignore at our own peril.

    Abstract: Written by leading market risk academic, Professor Carol Alexander, Practical Financial Econometrics forms part two of the Market Risk Analysis four volume set. It introduces the econometric techniques that are commonly applied to finance with a critical and selective exposition, emphasising the areas of econometrics, such as GARCH, cointegration and copulas that are required for resolving problems in market risk analysis. The book covers material for a one-semester graduate course in applied financial econometrics in a very pedagogical fashion as each time a concept is introduced an empirical example is given, and whenever possible this is illustrated with an Excel spreadsheet. All together, the Market Risk Analysis four volume set illustrates virtually every concept or formula with a practical, numerical example or a longer, empirical case study. Across all four volumes there are approximately 300 numerical and empirical examples, 400 graphs and figures and 30 case studies many of which are contained in interactive Excel spreadsheets available from the the accompanying CD-ROM . Empirical examples and case studies specific to this volume include: Factor analysis with orthogonal regressions and using principal component factors; Estimation of symmetric and asymmetric, normal and Student t GARCH and E-GARCH parameters; Normal, Student t, Gumbel, Clayton, normal mixture copula densities, and simulations from these copulas with application to VaR and portfolio optimization; Principal component analysis of yield curves with applications to portfolio immunization and asset/liability management; Simulation of normal mixture and Markov switching GARCH returns; Cointegration based index tracking and pairs trading, with error correction and impulse response modelling; Markov switching regression models (Eviews code); GARCH term structure forecasting with volatility targeting; Non-linear quantile regressions with applications to hedging.

    Abstract: A leader's image can be either an asset or a liability. Although many leaders mistakenly believe that managing their image amounts to chicanery, it's important for them to recognize the genuine aspects of themselves that should be coming across to other people—but may not be. Crafting an authentic image requires you to gain a clear picture of the image people are currently perceiving, decide what image you would like to portray, and develop the skills to close the gap.

    Abstract: In the 21st Century, people are the competitive advantage. The talent and level of dedication of an organization's workforce make the difference in achieving success. The traditional command-oriented leadership style is not enough to keep today's employees motivated—they need to be engaged. They need passion, connection, and inspiration, and a willingness to put forth their best efforts to benefit themselves and their organization. The Cornerstones of Engaging Leadership connects what we know about engagement on an organizational level to what an individual leader can do to increase engagement. Using real-world examples, Wilson reveals the key actions leaders must take to connect with and engage others: Build trust Leverage unique motivators Manage performance from a people-centric perspective Engage emotions By committing to these four cornerstones of engaging leadership, leaders can unleash the potential of others and inspire effective performance. Through practice tools and exercises (all available for download on a supplemental CD-ROM), readers are challenged to explore, reflect upon, and apply key concepts and techniques of the engaging leader approach. NOTE: This title includes additional digital media when purchased in print format. For this digital book edition, media content may not be included.
