ISBN: 9780300259285 - amongst the ruins: why civilizations collapse and communities disappear (17 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Amongst the Ruins explores the loss of ancient civilizations, the collapse of ruling elites, and the disappearance of more recent communities and their local traditions. Some of these are now sealed under 3,000-year-old peat, others lost to rising seas or sands, and the carcasses of twentieth-century buildings which serve as reminders of the destructive power of war.   These compelling stories of fallen or lost places are brought together through themes of war, climate change, natural hazards, human self-destruction, and simple economics. From the ice of the Arctic fringe, through to the desert landscapes of North Africa, by way of South America?s high mountains and Southeast Asia?s urban sprawl, Amongst the Ruins charts the rise and fall of places and communities around the world, the fascinating characters associated with them, and the important events that punctuate their history. Exploring wide-ranging examples from prehistory to the present day, John Darlington challenges us to recognize past failures and identify what we need to do to protect the cultures of our current world.…

Zustand: As New. : En 'Amongst the Ruins', John Darlington explora la pérdida de civilizaciones antiguas, el colapso de élites gobernantes y la desaparición de comunidades más recientes y sus tradiciones locales. Algunas de estas ahora están selladas bajo turba de 3.000 años de antigüedad, otras perdidas por el aumento de los mares o las arenas, y los restos de edificios del siglo XX sirven como recordatorios del poder destructivo de la guerra. Estas historias convincentes de lugares caídos o perdidos se unen a través de temas de guerra, cambio climático, desastres naturales, autodestrucción humana y economía simple. Desde el hielo de la franja ártica hasta los paisajes desérticos del norte de África, pasando por las altas montañas de América del Sur y la expansión urbana del sudeste asiático, 'Amongst the Ruins' traza el ascenso y la caída de lugares y comunidades en todo el mundo, los personajes fascinantes asociados con ellos y los eventos importantes que puntúan su historia. Explorando ejemplos de gran alcance desde la prehistoria hasta nuestros días, John Darlington nos desafía a reconocer los fracasos del pasado e identificar lo que debemos hacer para proteger las culturas de nuestro mundo actual.
