Alcock's prose is accessible yet profound, guiding readers through the layers of history embedded in each archaeological discovery. She emphasizes the role of memory in shaping narratives of the past, exploring how monuments and landscapes served as repositories of cultural identity and political power.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A groundbreaking theoretical physicist traces his career, reflecting on the successes and failures, triumphs and insecurities of a life cut short by cancer.The groundbreaking theoretical physicist Joseph Polchinski explained the genesis of his memoir this way: "Having only two bodies of knowledge, myself and physics, I decided to write an autobiography about my development as a theoretical physicist." In this posthumously published account of his life and work, Polchinski (19542018) describes successes and failures, triumphs and insecurities, and the sheer persistence that led to his greatest discoveries. Writing engagingly and accessibly, with the wry humor for which he was known, Polchinski gives theoretical physics a very human face. Polchinski, famous for his contributions to string theory, may have changed the course of modern theoretical physics, but he was a late bloomerdoing most of his important work after the age of forty. His death from brain cancer at sixty-three cut short a career at its peak. Working on the memoir after his diagnosis, using a text-to-speech algorithm because he could no longer read words on a page, he was able to recapitulate his entire career, down to the details of problems he had worked on. For Polchinski, physics went deeper than words. This edition includes photographs from Polchinski's professional and family life, as well as physics explainer boxes, other technical edits, and bibliographic notes by his former student Ahmad Almheiri, a foreword by Andrew Strominger, and an afterword by his wife Dorothy Chun and sons Steven and Daniel. …

hardcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 222 S. : zahlr. Ill. / 222 pp. with numerous illustrations. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Tadelloser Zustand. Hochwertig gestaltete Ausgabe. / Flawless condition. Well designed and manufactured. - Fittingly enough for a piece of writing about memory, this book stands as the end product of two acts of commemoration. In 1981 I was given the honor of delivering the Stanford Memorial Lectures, established by public subscription to honor the memory of William Bedell Stanford, at Trinity College, Dublin. There I first publicly explored the relationship of archaeology and social memory, focusing on case studies concerned with the Greeks under Roman rule and the Messenians under Spartan domination; chapters 1,2, and 4 of the present volume are expanded and revised versions of those Dublin lectures. A year later, I gave the Seventh Ian Sanders Memorial Lecture in Classical Archaeology at the University of Sheffield. In honor of Sanders himself, a pioneer of historic Cretan studies, I turned to the commemorative landscapes of Hellenistic and Roman Crete; chapter 3 is a revised version of my lecture in Sheffield. My curiosity about archaeology and memory, however, predated those two invitations. An obsession with memory has marked the closing decades of the twentieth century (in other words, my own adult life time); and near the turn of the millennium, when these lectures were delivered, the subject had become almost impossible to avoid, both within the academy and beyond.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Social memory - the shared remembrances of group experience - creates shared identity, and provides people with both an image of their past and a design for their future. But how are we to conceive the memories of past peoples such as, for example, the ancient Greeks This 2002 book makes a strong case for the use of archaeology, particularly the evidence of landscape and of monuments, to trace patterns in commemoration and forgetfulness. Three detailed case studies (early Roman Greece, Hellenistic and Roman Crete, and Messenia in Archaic to Hellenistic times) focus on societies undergoing different types of social transformation. Material evidence allows us to observe how groups responded to these challenges, and how they made different uses of the past, in the past.…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 344 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | 'Seeing' beyond seeingIn photography, mindfulness is like observing something for the first time, even though you may have looked at it a thousand times before and it involves a deep kind of knowing.As experienced photographers, we often create images that are technically "correct" and "well" composed but are still missing some intangible aesthetic that we experienced at the moment of creation. Mindful photography infers that while technical proficiency, and an eye for composition are necessary skills, they are not always sufficient to capture the essence of our experience, and therefore emphasizes the importance of training our minds to use all of your senses in order to experience the world differently; to see awe and wonder in what we normally think of as "ordinary."Mindful photography is an art and rests on the photographer's skill and ability to self-efface and focus on the subject/object, thereby providing an authentic visualisation of the image. This collection of carefully curated photographs has been put together with the view to bring different global landscapes under one luxury book, providing visual art at its best. Packed with inspiration, each image is coupled with a quote from the photographer's circle of friends and family. Each image depicts one moment in time across the many continents which Abhi has travelled to since he was a very young person.…
