It contains an extensive archaeological study of all known Middle Bronze through Iron Age temples, sanctuaries, and open-air shrines, organized by period and geographic region.

Download or read book Asor written by Graciela Iturbide and published by Steidl. This book was released on 2009 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With secrets drawn from her archive, Graciela Iturbide creates a curious world in which the human subjects we encounter in her widely-known portraits are absent. In Asor, the human subject is the reader alone, dream borne, on a journey in which all places remain nameless, time cannot be ascertained and the course is lost to the imagination. Loosely inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Iturbide constructs her intimate and contemporary extension of Lewis Carroll's classic tale without words, making equal use of the narrative and compositional elements of Iturbide's photographs to startle her readers with visual riddles and quick shifts of perspective. To accompany a reader along this unlikely journey are six electroacoustic works by composer Manuel Rocha Iturbide. These works, composed over a 15-year period from 1990 to 2005 from sources taped by Rocha Iturbide during his extensive travels, were selected by the composer in response to his mother's photographs.

Book Synopsis How the Bible Became a Book by : William M. Schniedewind
Download or read book How the Bible Became a Book written by William M. Schniedewind and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-05-10 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past two hundred years biblical scholars have increasingly assumed that the Hebrew Bible was largely written and edited in the Persian and Hellenistic periods. As a result, the written Bible has dwelled in an historical vacuum. Recent archaeological evidence and insights from linguistic anthropology, however, point to the earlier era of the late-Iron Age as the formative period for the writing of biblical literature. How the Bible Became a Book combines these recent archaeological discoveries in the Middle East with insights culled from the history of writing to address how the Bible first came to be written down and then became sacred Scripture. This book provides rich insight into why these texts came to have authority as Scripture and explores why Ancient Israel, an oral culture, began to write literature, challenging the assertion that widespread literacy first arose in Greece during the fifth century BCE.

Book Synopsis The Writer and the People by : Alberto Asor Rosa
Download or read book The Writer and the People written by Alberto Asor Rosa and published by Italian List. This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1965, The Writer and the People was one of the key books in the revitalization and invigoration of the young Left in late-1960s Italy. Aiming to demystify the myth of populism, Alberto Asor Rosa takes on Marxism and its legacy, the relationship between Fascism and the Left, the prospects for militant anti-Fascism, and more. He does so through detailed reconstructions, analyses, and critiques of some of the central figures of modern Italian literature, including Giovanni Verga, Carlo Casola, Antonio Gramsci, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. Translated into English for the first time, The Writer and the People is both a historical text, helping us understand postwar Italian politics and society, and a living document, able to educate and inspire left-wing activists today.
Book Synopsis The Fall and Rise of Jerusalem by : Oded Lipschitz
Download or read book The Fall and Rise of Jerusalem written by Oded Lipschitz and published by Eisenbrauns. This book was released on 2005 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period of the demise of the kingdom of Judah at the end of the 6th century B.C.E., the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians, the exile of the elite to Babylon, and the reshaping of the territory of the new province of Judah, culminating at the end of the century with the first return of exiles--all have been subjects of intense scrutiny during the last decade. Lipschits takes into account the biblical textual evidence, the results of archaeological research, and the reports of Babylonian and Egyptian sources and provides a comprehensive survey and analysis of the evidence for the history of this 100-year-long era. He provides a lucid historical survey that will, no doubt, become the baseline for all future studies of this era.

Book Synopsis Why Those Who Shovel Are Silent by : Allison Mickel
Download or read book Why Those Who Shovel Are Silent written by Allison Mickel and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 200 years, archaeological sites in the Middle East have been dug, sifted, sorted, and saved by local community members who, in turn, developed immense expertise in excavation and interpretation and had unparalleled insight into the research process and findings—but who have almost never participated in strategies for recording the excavation procedures or results. Their particular perspectives have therefore been missing from the archaeological record, creating an immense gap in knowledge about the ancient past and about how archaeological knowledge is created. Why Those Who Shovel Are Silent is based on six years of in-depth ethnographic work with current and former site workers at two major Middle Eastern archaeological sites—Petra, Jordan, and Çatalhöyük, Turkey—combined with thorough archival research. Author Allison Mickel describes the nature of the knowledge that locally hired archaeological laborers exclusively possess about artifacts, excavation methods, and archaeological interpretation, showing that archaeological workers are experts about a wide range of topics in archaeology. At the same time, Mickel reveals a financial incentive for site workers to pretend to be less knowledgeable than they actually are, as they risk losing their jobs or demotion if they reveal their expertise. Despite a recent proliferation of critical research examining the history and politics of archaeology, the topic of archaeological labor has not yet been substantially examined. Why Those Who Shovel Are Silent employs a range of advanced qualitative, quantitative, and visual approaches and offers recommendations for archaeologists to include more diverse expert perspectives and produce more nuanced knowledge about the past. It will appeal to archaeologists, science studies scholars, and anyone interested in challenging the concept of “unskilled” labor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE YAKUB EXPERIMENT THE EXPLANATION OF RACISM. How can someone explain racism that is often demonic or otherwise unexplainable. The answer lies with Yakub, an African Big Head Scientist that spear headed a genetic experiment that created the Caucasian man and woman. This book examines and answers the age-old question are Caucasians genetically incline to hate and practice racism against people of color. The Yakub Experiment demonstrates how humankind developed from the original man, the African man and woman. In this Book, You Will Learn, -Yakub was the father of the white race.-Yakub's Experiment discovery and results.-Causes of Caucasian racism. -The use of Biblical justification for racism. -The Caucasian Burdens throughout the world. -Yakub's Experiment and modern-day racism.- A solution to Caucasian racism. -And much more!Yakub was a scientist with an enormous head, he was known as the big head scientist. He noticed that unalike attracts and like repels. Using this law of attraction, he created a people who would have little to no conscious and would challenge the original inhabits on planet earth. He knew the black man and black woman contained the brown germ, the lighter of the two germs that mostly remained dormant. He knew that using a breeding process that one out of three children bred under his technique would be lighter and weaker than the original man and woman. The new species from the original man would be without a natural conscious.

In 2000 the organization celebrated 100 years of success in aiding the recovery of the history of the ancient Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean worlds, and in exposing the ancient landscapes in which some of the earliest civilizations were shaped. This volume records the story of ASOR's growth and development through the 20th century, along with histories of the three affiliated overseas research centres that it helped to create: AIAR in Israel, ACOR in Jordan and CAARI in Cyprus. The volume is thickly illustrated with photographs of the institutions, scholars and lay persons whose dedication to the organization's mission help shape its course.
