    Keywords: Desert people ; Archaeology ; Aufsatzsammlung
    Abstract: Desert Peoples: Archaeological Perspectives provides an issues-oriented overview of hunter-gatherer societies in desert landscapes. Studies of such societies have long been our primary source of information about human adaptability and how societies in marginal environments deal with risk. Desert Peoples combines archaeological and anthropological perspectives and includes a wide range of regional and thematic case studies. It brings together for the first time studies from deserts as diverse as the sand dunes of Australia, the U.S. Great Basin, the coastal and high altitude deserts of South America, and the core deserts of Africa. Written by an international roster of experts, Desert Peoples examines the key concepts vital to understanding human adaptation to marginal landscapes and the behavioral and belief systems that underpin them, including: notions of environmental variability, risk-minimization, flexibility in group composition and mobility patterns, information exchange, diet, and the role of graphic systems. Ultimately, Desert Peoples' comparative approach provides an overview of current understandings and debates about cultural and ecological processes affecting hunter-gatherer societies in deserts

    Abstract: Stretching across continents and centuries, The Origins of War: Violence in Prehistory provides a fascinating examination of executions, torture, ritual sacrifices, and other acts of violence committed in the prehistoric world. Until recently what little had been written on prehistoric violence and warfare focused on the symbolic interpretations of archeological remains. This engrossing book demonstrates that violence has always been far more than just symbolic by combining such interpretations into prehistory with a medical understanding of these violent acts. The authors, one an eminent prehistorian and the other a respected medical doctor, are the ideal guides through such evidence and enable the reader to understand this violence at a human level, without a sophisticated understanding of history or archeology

    Abstract: Biographical note: Alexander T. Bergs is Assistant Professor at the Department of English Language and Linguistics at Heinrich-Heine-University, Düsseldorf, Germany.
    Abstract: Main description: The author analyzes, from a historical sociolinguistic point of view, selected domains of morphosyntactic variation in a 250,000 word collection of the Middle English Paston Letters (1421-1503). In three case studies, two nominal and one verbal variable are described and discussed in detail: the replacement of Old English 〈h-〉 pronouns by borrowed 〈th-〉 pronouns, the introduction and spread of 〉wh-relativizers, and the spread and routinization of light verb constructions (take, make, give, have, do plus deverbal noun). While the author aims at a balanced integration of different approaches in sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, typology, and language change, the main focus is on social network theory and the role of the linguistic individual in the formation and change of linguistic structures.
    Abstract: Review text: 0Any researcher interested in these variables should read this book, because they are discussed from a wide variety of theoretical and analytical perspectives and, importantly, discrepancies between the results of this work and the results obtained from these earlier studies should now be taken into account. In addition, the methodological and theoretical contexts of the analyses are put together in what might almost be called a hidden agenda of the book, which seems to be an effort to question our techniques and refine our understanding of the processes involved in language change…"Margaret Sonmez in: Linguistlist 2005

    Abstract: Main description: Entre la documentación de la ciudad de Barcelona del siglo XIV son escasos los censos de población o listas nominales de contribuyentes que hayan perdurado hasta nuestros días. La presente edición muestra los más antiguos ejemplos conservados, pertenecientes a la década de 1360: las "talles" parciales de dos barrios de la ciudad de Barcelona, donde aparecen registrados los habitantes y las correspondientes sumas de dinero a pagar y el "fogatge" de todos los pueblos colindantes a la ciudad o "territori de Barcelona", en el cual los nombres personales sirven como indicadores para hacer el recuento de hogares o "focs". Von den Steuer- und Personenlisten der Stadt Barcelona im 14. Jahrhundert sind nur wenige bis heute erhalten geblieben. Diese Ausgabe enthält die ältesten erhalten Beispiele, sie stammen aus den 60er Jahren. Es handelt sich um Steuererhebungen (talles) in den verschiedenen Stadtvierteln von Barcelona, in denen die Namen der Bewohner und die entsprechenden Abgaben aufgelistet sind, und die Bewohnerliste (fogatge) der Umgebung der Stadt oder des territori de Barcelona, in der die Personenangaben als Grundlage für eine Zählung der Haushalte (focs) dienen.
    Abstract: Main description: Of the lists of taxpayers and other persons compiled by the city of Barcelona in the 14th century, only very few have come down to us. This volume contains the oldest extant examples, stemming from the 1360s. They comprise (a) tax surveys (talles) in the various urban districts of Barcelona, listing the names of the inhabitants and the taxes levied on them, and (b) a list of inhabitants (fogatge) from the surrounding areas of the city, the territori de Barcelona, in which the information on the persons living there served as the basis for counting the number of households (focs).

    Abstract: "In black culture, Martin argues, we see the debate over the profound tension at the core of black identity: the duality of being at once both American and African. And in the transformative postwar period, the intersection between culture and politics became increasingly central to the African-American fight for equality. In freedom songs, in the exuberance of an Aretha Franklin concert, in Faith Ringgold's exploration of race and sexuality, the personal and social became the political." "Martin explores the place of black culture in this vision and examines the multiple ways in which various forms of expressive culture and various African-American cultural figures influences consciousness and helped effect social action. From the music of John Coltrane and James Brown to the visual arts of Jacob Lawrence and Betye Saar to the dance movements of Alvin Ailey and Arthur Mitchell, Martin discusses how, why, and with what consequences culture became a critical battle site in the freedom struggle. And in an epilogue, he draws the thread of black cultural politics into today's hip-hop culture."--Jacket

    Abstract: Main description: Obwohl viele Forscher bisher kritisch auf die 1960 von Philippe Ariès entwickelten Thesen zur Geschichte der Kindheit eingegangen sind, bietet erst dieser Band eine umfassende, interdisziplinär angelegte, sowohl mentalitäts- als auch emotionsgeschichtlich orientierte Sammlung von Studien, die überzeugend nachweisen, wie sehr auch in der Vormoderne die Beziehung zwischen Eltern und Kindern ein fundamentales Element der europäischen Gesellschaft gewesen ist.
    Abstract: Main description: Although many researchers have taken a critical stance towards the theses on the history of childhood developed by Philippe Ariès in 1960, this volume is the first comprehensive collection of studies with a psychological and emotional historical orientation to demonstrate convincingly the extent to which the relationship between parents and children was a fundamental element of European society in pre-modern times.

    Abstract: Review text: "[...] this is an anthology of substantial weight."Daniel T. Kline in: http://www.h-net.org/reviews10/2008 In short, this volume will certainly become an important reference for research on childhood and its perception in medieval and early modern society."Steven Vanderputten in: Mediaevistik 20/2007
    Abstract: Earlier theses on the history of childhood can now be laid to rest and a fundamental paradigm shift initiated, as there is an overwhelming body of evidence to show that in medieval and early modern times too there were close emotional relations between parents and children. The contributors to this volume demonstrate conclusively on the one hand how intensively parents concerned themselves with their children in the pre-modern era, and on the other which social, political and religious conditions shaped these relationships. These studies in emotional history demonstrate how easy it is for a subjective choice of sources, coupled with faulty interpretations – caused mainly by modern prejudices toward the Middle Ages in particular – to lead to the view that in the past children were regarded as small adults. The contributors demonstrate convincingly that intense feelings – admittedly often different in nature – shaped the relationship between adults and children.

    Abstract: Review text: "Lehrreich und interessant, von einer großen Belesenheit getragen, dabei nicht selten zum Widerspruch einladend, eröffnet die Studie notwendige und wünschenswerte, auch für den akademischen Unterricht gut zu nützende Perspektiven einer Beschäftigung mit der ›nationaldeutschen‹ Sprachideologie."Jürgen Macha in: Germanistik 1-2/2006
    Abstract: Main description: Gegenstand dieser sprach- und kulturgeschichtlich angelegten Studie ist die nationale Ideologisierung der deutschen Sprache von der Gründung der "Fruchtbringenden Gesellschaft" bis zum Ende des "Dritten Reiches". Im theoretischen Teil werden zunächst moderne Nations- und Nationalismuskonzepte diskutiert und Ethnizität, Geschichte und Sprache als relevante Dimensionen nationaler Identitätskonstruktion eingeführt. Mittels der linguistischen Diskursanalyse wird im historisch-systematischen Darstellungsteil ein zeitlich breit gestreutes Korpus sprachreflexiver Texte ausgewertet. Anders als bisherige Einzeluntersuchungen zum Thema verbindet diese Gesamtdarstellung den historischen Überblick über die Diskurslinien mit einer systematischen Zusammenschau wiederkehrender begrifflicher, metaphorischer und argumentativer Diskursmuster.

    Keywords: Human geography ; Human territoriality ; Territorialität ; Territorium ; Anthropogeografie
    Abstract: This short introduction conveys the complexities associated with the term "territory" in a clear and accessible manner, and provides an interdisciplinary survey of the many strands of research in the field. Specific areas addressed include: interpretations of territorial structures; the relationship between territoriality and scale; the validity and fluidity of territory; and the practical social processes associated with territorial re-configurations. David Delaney stresses that how we understand territory is inseparable from our understanding of power, including political power, economic power, and cultural power. In making sense of territory in this way, he presents an overview of how territory is understood across a range of perspectives. He also offers a close, critical reading of Robert Sack's classic work, "Human Territoriality: Its Theory and History". In an extended illustrative case study, the book explores how territoriality has unfolded in the context of Israel/Palestine
