‎Useful Nature(s). Science, Pedagogy and the Power of Youth in Early Modern Central Europe‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 222, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:42 b/w, 9 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503619415.‎

‎Summary The study of youth remains a tantalizing prospect in the sciences today, particularly as a means of extending life. Many institutions rely on the flexibility, cheaper labor and creative approaches to problem solving that young people often carry with them into research and professional environments. Now, as in the past, practitioners of the sciences are drawn to evidence of intellectual precocity or signs of premature ingenuity. Useful Nature(s) recovers the largely untold story of science's preoccupation with the power of the young, including their heightened capacities to "know use" and to embody playful, yet productive, forms of physical labor. It focuses on a pivotal moment in the history of early modern Central European communities, when scholars, physicians, teachers and administrators began calling for intensified investigations of the young body, particularly its tendency to play, to move constantly, and to deploy tools and materials strategically. Drawing much needed attention to science's fascination with youth's power, Useful Nature(s) highlights efforts to derive benefit from the young person's relationship to the future and potential to dramatically reconfigure knowledge-making practices and communities.

‎Beyond shelter: Anatolian indigenous buildings.‎

‎New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (26 x 26 cm). In English. 224 p., color ills. Beyond shelter: Anatolian indigenous buildings. Beyond Shelter presents visual records of various houses and settlements in the Aegean, Mediterranean, Central, Eastern, and Black Sea regions of Anatolia. It explains the languages of the building patterns found, and also displays the ingenuity of the indigenous builders. While focusing on the relationships between climate, locality, materials and skills, Kemal Aran shows the reader the differentiation of Anatolia's characteristic patterns. Dramatic expressions in the unity of details, textures, materials and colors also produce building variations that stem from the builders' initiative. The buildings depicted are unique examples that satisfy both the physical needs and the intellectual motives of people. As shown in Beyond Shelter, languages of building patterns establish communal identity including individual variety.‎

‎Chryselephantine Statuary in the Ancient Mediterranean World‎

‎Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2002 hardcover, Faux-linnen bound with dustjacket, 241 pages + 249 illustrations, 28 x 23 cm. ENG text . As new. ISBN 9780198153115.‎

‎Composite statues of gold (chrysos), ivory (elephas), and other precious materials were the most celebrated artworks of classical antiquity. Greek and Latin authors leave no doubt that such images provided a centrepiece for religious and civic life and that vast sums were spent to produce them. A number of these statues were the creations of antiquity's most highly acclaimed artists: Polykleitos, Alkamenes, Leochares, and, of course, Pheidias, whose magnificent Zeus Olympios came to be ranked among the Seven Wonders of the World. Although a few individual images such as Pheidias' Athena Parthenos have been the subject of detailed scholarly analysis, chryselephantine statuary as a class, from the exquisite statuettes of Minoan Crete to the majestic temple images constructed by classical Greek city-states and imitated by the Romans, has not received comprehensive study since 1815. This book presents not only the ancient literary and epigraphical evidence for lost statues and examines representations of them in other media, but also assembles and analyses much-neglected physical survivals, elucidating throughout the innovative techniques, such as ivory-bending, employed in their production as well as the variety of social, religious, and political roles they played within the ancient societies that produced them.‎

‎Egypte : des pharaons‎

‎Il faut voir l'aube, les pyramides de Gizeh pour comprendre l' tonnement qu'inspirent encore au monde les r alisations de l'Egypte antique. Cet empire dirig par des dieux-rois omnipotents et h r ditaires, cette soci t sophistiqu e qui s' panouit plus de trois mille ans, exercent une fascination perp tuelle, un attrait exotique qu' voque superbement ce formidable portrait. Voici Karnak, Louqsor et la Vall e des Rois ; voici encore le Nil ternel, au bord duquel viennent notre rencontre les figures l gendaires de Toutankhamon, de N fertiti, de Rams s et de Cl op tre, parmi des milliers d'autres Egyptiens, grands et modestes - des humbles marchands et agriculteurs aux pharaons des 31 dynasties immortalis s par des monuments qui comptent parmi les plus envo tants du monde. Ouvrage complet, haut en couleurs, L'Egypte des pharaons est tout la fois une ambitieuse chronique et l' l gante c l bration d'un monde fabuleux, dont l' clat perdure vingt si cles plus tard. Embrassant plus de trois mill naires, travers s par les noms les plus illustres de Rams s, de N fertiti et de Toutankhamon, L'Egypte des pharaons brosse un magnifique portrait de cette culture antique laquelle nous devons les pyramides, le Sphinx et d'innombrables merveilles. A l'aube de cette grande civilisation, une mosa que de royaumes tait tablie dans la plaine fertile du Nil. Ce livre est une ambitieuse chronique qui retrace la construction de l'Egypte et l' dification d'un Empire qui dura trois mille ans. De somptueuses photographies restituent la grandeur de la Vall e des Rois, la beaut des reliefs et font revivre les pharaons, les pr tres et les danseuses, ainsi que le spectacle plurimill naire des felouques sillonnant le Nil. Le captivant r cit de Brian Fagan ne s'en tient pas aux figures l gendaires, aux v nements majeurs et aux r alisations colossales de l'Egypte ; l'auteur explore tous les aspects d'une soci t lettr e, extr mement organis e, dont l'apport l'histoire de l'humanit fut essentiel. Tandis que se succ dent les dynasties, nous voyons voluer une religion complexe, domin e par la figure d'un dieu-roi dont les sujets se consacr rent, g n ration apr s g n ration, l' dification de monuments sacr s. Nous visitons Memphis et Th bes, Karnak et Louqsor, assistons aux co teux rituels glorifiant Isis, Osiris ou ces pharaons immortels pour qui furent b ties des cit s de mausol es. Dans le m me temps, se d voile la vie quotidienne du petit peuple, gouvern e par les rythmes immuables du Nil et de ses saisons. Et mesure que se d roule l' pop e, nous rencontrons galement les aventuriers, les arch ologues et les savants qui en ont assembl les fragments, de Jean-Fran ois Champollion, d codant la pierre de Rosette, Howard Carter, bloui par la splendeur longtemps ensevelie de la tombe de Toutankhamon. Captivante et informative, ponctu e de chronologies et de cartes, L'Egypte des pharaons nous invite une extraordinaire exploration du pass .‎
