Book Synopsis A Population History of Colonial New South Wales by : Gordon W. Beckett
Download or read book A Population History of Colonial New South Wales written by Gordon W. Beckett and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 10th volume of the economic history of colonial NSW, the matter of population growth is reviewed, with population gains coming from favorable economic drivers and economic cycles, exploration, immigration, natural increase and British investment. The historical approach to Statistical Data gathering, its origins and reliability, is outlined as are the statistics used and their interpretation. The early musters (of convicts) is discussed together with commentary on the supporting datas derived from the numbers of convicts 'on the store'. With the Aboriginal economy outperforming the white colony from 1788 to the early 1820s, the operation of the Aboriginal economy is also discussed and the circumstances of its depopulation. Adding to the population history is a statement that traditional reporting of the history is: *Britain settled the continent for ;'strategic' advantages and to find a source of raw materials for its industries, as well as being an outlet for its trading and a takeover of local resources under its expanding economic system. *Economic development took place in their new colony, beneficial mainly to British interests including, industry, trade, insurance and investment. As important as trade and investment became to the new colony, the main aspect of the population history is the transfer of human capital in the form of over 160,000 convicted persons under a transportation program from the United Kingdom.
Book Synopsis A Population History of the Missions of the Jesuit Province of Paraquaria by : Robert H. Jackson
Download or read book A Population History of the Missions of the Jesuit Province of Paraquaria written by Robert H. Jackson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have debated the demographic consequences for the indigenous populations of the Americas of 1492, the beginning of sustained contact between the Old and New Worlds. Some have hypothesized an initial die-off of indigenous population resulting from the introduction of highly contagious crowd diseases such as smallpox and measles. So-called “virgin soil” epidemics caused catastrophic mortality that culled the indigenous populations, and some scholars such as the late Henry Dobyns hypothesized a rate of decline of around 90 percent as epidemics spread across the Americas like a miasmic cloud. However, over the course of generations, the indigenous populations developed immunities to the maladies, and recovered. This book presents a detailed case study of indigenous populations congregated on Jesuit missions in lowland South America that challenges the basic assumptions of the model of “virgin soil” epidemics. It shows that epidemic mortality varied between communities, and that catastrophic mortality occurred on some mission communities generations after first sustained contact. It concludes that patterns of demographic change among indigenous populations were far more complex than is often assumed. This study is of interest to specialists in historical demography, colonial Spanish America, Native American history, and the history of Spanish frontier missions.

Book Synopsis Magic, Mystery, and Science by : Dan Burton
Download or read book Magic, Mystery, and Science written by Dan Burton and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magic, Mystery, and Science presents the occult as a "third stream" of belief, as important to the shaping of Western civilization as Greek rationalism or Judeo-Christianity. The occult seeks explanations in a world that is living and intelligent--quite unlike the one supposed by science. By taking these beliefs seriously, while keeping an eye on science, this book aims to capture some of the power of the occult. Readers will discover that the occult has a long history that reaches back to Babylonia and ancient Egypt. It proceeds alongside, and frequently mingles with, religion and science. From the Egyptian Book of the Dead to New Age beliefs, from Plato to Adolf Hitler, occult ways of knowing have been used to explain a world that still tempts us with the knowledge of its dark secrets. --From publisher's description.
Book Synopsis The History of Human Populations by : P. M. G. Harris
Download or read book The History of Human Populations written by P. M. G. Harris and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2001-07-30 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harris (emeritus, history, Temple U.) argues that previous interpretations have misunderstood the historical trends of human population growth and decline, therefore failing to grasp the causes and consequences of recurring patterns. In an effort to provide a simpler, more accurate and insightful way to generalize and understand these trends, he presents new models for depicting, connecting and understanding three forms of expansion. These models are then applied to specific populations in the U.S. from 1607 to the 1990s, and to other northern European colonizations around the world. He also examines growth and decline in South and Middle America, regions of European countries, Japan, and China. The text concludes with a discussion of local populations, including the growth of cities and urban populations, as well as smaller populations such as towns, villages, and hamlets. This is volume 1, but it's not clear how many volumes are planned. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
