Paperback. Zustand: Good. Flowing Progress: Transforming the Danube Through Infrastructure focuses on how different political regimes and forms of governance have imagined and technologically transformed the most international river in the world. Multidisciplinary and drawing on methodologies of history, anthropology of infrastructure, and science, technology, and society, this collection explores the tensions between the river and its natural pulses, the humans that populate its floodplains, state agencies, and infrastructure. The book engages the concept of disturbance to point out the circular and spiraling dynamics between hydrological processes and technopolitical and economic practices. Disturbance denotes a specific type of long-term dynamic between human attempts to control the Danube, the material systems they implemented to achieve these goals, and the agency of the river that both enabled the functioning of infrastructure and the breakdown of such arrangements. It draws particular attention to the concerted efforts to contain and optimize the Danube's flow, adding layer after layer of dams, channels, and pipes that could potentially escalate the power of a leashed river. Taking a longer historical perspective from the sixteenth century until today, the volume provides a variety of relevant case studies and local contexts in the Ottoman and Habsburg empires, and their successor states Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, and Serbia which show different ways of how humans have imagined and coped with this mighty river.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Between East and West. Studies in Anthropology and Social History. Text in English and French. We bring together historians, anthropologists, and political scientists dealing with Southeast Europe societies and cultures. Different narratives are told by Western as well as Eastern social scientists. They meet each other on the ground of a common subject of analysis that becomes the loci of a dialogue between people, schools and cultures. Paul Stahl's suggestion was not to use his name into the title of the book. But the issues approached hereby (peasants and peasant societies in Southeast Europe, popular religion, theory and and fieldwork in social history and anthropology) reflect just his research inquiries. The usual encomiastic approach of a Festschrift has been replaced by the analysis of the main issues and ideas Paul H. Stahl has been puzzled for a long time. 527 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The rise of industrial capitalism in the nineteenth century forged a new ecological order in North American and Western European states, radically transforming the environment through science and technology in the name of human progress. Far less known are the dramatic environmental changes experienced by Eastern Europe, in many ways a terra incognita for environmental historians and anthropologists. A New Ecological Order explores, from a historical and ethnographic perspective, the role of state planners, bureaucrats, and experts--engineers, agricultural engineers, geographers, biologists, foresters, and architects--as agents of change in the natural world of Eastern Europe from 1870 to the early twenty-first century.Contributors consider territories engulfed by empires, from the Habsburg to the Ottoman to tsarist Russia; territories belonging to disintegrating empires; and countries in the Balkan Peninsula, Central and Eastern Europe, and Eurasia. Together, they follow a rhetoric of 'correcting nature,' a desire to exploit the natural environment and put its resources to work for the sake of developing the economies and infrastructures of modern states. They reveal an eagerness among newly established nation-states, after centuries of imperial economic and political impositions, to import scientific knowledge and new technologies from Western Europe that would aid in their economic development, and how those imports and ideas about nature ultimately shaped local projects and policies.…
