1994Best.-Nr. BN34126Garnet Publishing Ltd 1994. 1994. Hardcover. 25 x 235 x 279 cm. The photographs reproduced in this book mainly cover the years between 1899 and the 1950s when the Sudan Africa's largest country was ruled by a nominal Condominium of Britain and Egypt. They comprise a pictorial record - however impressionistic subjective and incomplete - of an era. The authors have selected the 240 photographs in the book from the many thousands held in the Sudan Archive at the University Library Durham UK. The selection has been made with an eye to both historical interest and artistic merit. Consequently there is an emphasis on older photographs many of which are probably unique and less representation of the later years for which the photographic record is more extensive. This is not therefore a photographic history but rather a collection of historical photographs. Mainly taken by British officials and tourists the photographs emphasise British subjects. Although it is important to bear in mind that the British were a tiny minority in the Sudan and that their style of life there was exotic in the extreme it is nonetheless useful to see in black and white something of the way they lived. The photographs reproduced here record a broad span of human experience and achievement: events of historical or military significance feats of engineering and the daily life and recreation of the Sudanese and their temporary rulers.

2010The Exploitation of Plant Resources in Ancient Africa Edizione Inglese di Marijke Van Der Veen (a cura di) Editore: Springer US EAN: 9781441933164 ISBN: 1441933166 Pagine: 300 Formato: Paperback This volume presents a completely new and very substantial body of information about the origin of agriculture and plant use in Africa. All the evidence is very recent and for the first time all this archaeobotanical evidence is brought together in one volume (at present the information is unpublished or published in many disparate journals, confer ence reports, monographs, site reports, etc. ). Early publications concerned with the origins of African plant domestication relied almost exclusively on inferences made from the modem distribution of the wild progenitors of African cultivars; there existed virtually no archaeobotanical data at that time. Even as recently as the early 1990s direct evidence for the transition to farming and the relative roles of indigenous versus Near Eastern crops was lacking for most of Africa. This volume changes that and presents a wide range of ex citing new evidence, including case studies from Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Uganda, Egypt, and Sudan, which range in date from 8000 BP to the present day. The volume ad dresses topics such as the role of wild plant resources in hunter-gatherer and farming com munities, the origins of agriculture, the agricultural foundation of complex societies, long-distance trade, the exchange of foods and crops, and the human impact on local vege tation-all key issues of current research in archaeology, anthropology, agronomy, ecol ogy, and economic history.
