Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der aus Wien stammende Joseph Franz Rock (1884-1962) ist als Botaniker und als Ethnograph der in Sudwestchina lebenden Na-khi (Naxi), einer nichtchinesischen, einem Schamanenkult anhangenden und tausende von Manuskripten in ihrer eigenen Bilderschrift besitzenden Ethnie, hervorgetreten. Neben zehntausenden von botanischen Belegen (darunter ein groaer Teil der heute kultivierten Rhododendron-Arten) und etwa 2000 Vogelbalgen hat Rock zehntausend Na-hsi-Manuskripte gesammelt, das erste Worterbuch verfaat und eine Anzahl der Rituale ubersetzt. Inzwischen ist Rocks ehemaliges Wohnhaus in Lijiang (Yunnan) Museum, und sein Hauptwerk uber die Na-khi ist ins Chinesische ubersetzt. Rocks vielseitige Tatigkeit wird im vorliegenden Band von mehreren Seiten beleuchtet: Die Zeitungsberichte zeigen ihn im Umgang mit den Medien und die Rezeption seines Werkes in den USA, der Briefwechsel mit den ostasienwissenschaftlichen Gelehrten an der University of Washington erlautert die Genese des Na-hsi-Worterbuchs und seine Forderung der tibetischen Sammlungen, wahrend die Korrespondenz mit C. S. Sargent (Arnold Arboretum) Licht auf die Expedition zum Amnye Machen Bergmassiv wirft. Der Briefwechsel mit dem Leipziger Tibetologen Johannes Schubert liefert den Hintergrund zu Rocks zunehmenden tibetologischen Studien, wahrend die Briefe an seinen Neffen Robert Koc die Personlichkeit des Forschers in den Mittelpunkt stellen und seine Anhanglichkeit an die alte Heimat dokumentieren. Besondere Bedeutung hat das von Rock selbst noch uberarbeitete Tagebuch der Reise 1921-1923 von Chieng-mai (Thailand) nach Lijiang, wobei er teils der Route von Major H. R. Davies folgte, so daa die Berichte sich gewissermaaen erganzen. Der Band liefert umfangreiches Material zum Verstandnis eines bedeutenden Wissenschaftlers und seines Werks. Mit mehreren Registern.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. F. Rock hatte eine vielseitige Karriere: Vom Autodidakten entwickelte er sich zur Autorit�t fuer die Botanik Hawaiis; Forschungsreisen in Suedchina brachten reiche Ausbeute an Specimina botanischer (ca. 80000) und ornithologischer Art (ueber 1000) sowie illustrierte Artikel im National Geographic Magazine. In der Folge wurde Rock zum Experten fuer das kleine Volk der Nakhi, deren piktographische Manuskripte (ca. 5000) er sammelte und deren Rituale, Sprache und Geschichte er in umfangreichen Beitr�gen behandelte. Der vorliegende Band gibt ein Schriftenverzeichnis, T�tigkeitsberichte aus Hawaii, Zeitungsberichte ueber Rocks Forschungen, Briefwechsel mit Botanikern und Institutionen (so dem Gray Herbarium) und die umfangreiche Korrespondenz mit dem Harvard-Yenching-Institut, dessen Forschungsmitarbeiter Rock zeitweise war. Die Briefe und Dokumente geben einen lebendigen Eindruck von Rocks vielseitiger wissenschaftlicher T�tigkeit und seiner unternehmenden, eigenwilligen Pers�nlichkeit. "Unterlagen ueber Joseph Rock sind weit verstreut. Dementsprechend ist es schwierig, einen guten �berblick ueber das vorliegende Material zu gewinnen. Aus diesem Grund ist die von Hartmut Walravens hier vorgelegte Materialsammlung fuer eine seri�se Besch�ftigung mit Rock und seinem Lebenswerk von unsch�tzbarer Bedeutung. [�] Zusammenfassend kann festgestellt werden, dass die hier vorliegende Materialsammlung einzigartige Einblicke in die Person des Joseph Rock, seine Entwicklung sowie sein Lebenswerk darstellt. � Eine genauere Auswertung der hier gesammelten Korrespondenzen und Materialien wird wohl weit ueber die Grenzen der Ostasienwissenschaften hinaus wirken."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the nineteenth century—when most food in America was bland and brown and few people appreciated the economic potential of then-exotic foods—David Fairchild convinced the U.S. Department of Agriculture to finance overseas explorations to find and bring back foreign cultivars. Fairchild traveled to remote corners of the globe, searching for fruits, vegetables, and grains that could find a new home in American fields and in the American diet. In Fruits of Eden, Amanda Harris vividly recounts the exploits of Fairchild and his small band of adventurers and botanists as they traversed distant lands—Algeria, Baghdad, Cape Town, Hong Kong, Java, and Zanzibar—to return with new and exciting flavors. Their expeditions led to a renaissance not only at the dinner table but also in horticulture, providing diversity of crops for farmers across the country. Not everyone was supportive, however. The scientific community was concerned with invasive species, and World War I fanned the flames of xenophobia in Washington. Adversaries who believed Fairchild’s discoveries would contaminate the purity of native crops eventually shut down his program, but his legacy lives on in today’s modern kitchen, where navel oranges, Meyer lemons, honeydew melons, soybeans, and durum wheat are now standard.

Download or read book A Change in Worlds on the Sino-Tibetan Borderlands written by Jack Patrick Hayes and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Change in Worlds explores the environmental, economic, and political history of the Sino-Tibetan Songpan region of northern Sichuan from the late imperial Qing Dynasty to the early 21st century. A historically Tibetan region on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, with significant Han and Muslim Chinese populations, Songpan played important roles in the development of western and modern China’s ethnic relations policies, forestry sector, grasslands and environmental conservation, and recent developments in eco- and ethnic tourism as part of various Chinese states. However, in spite of close associations with various Tibetan and Chinese regimes, the region also has a rich history of local independence and resilient nomadic, semi-nomadic and agricultural populations and identities. The Sino-Tibetan diversity in Songpan, partly formed by unique ecological conditions, conditioned all attempts to incorporate the region into larger and more centralized state homogenizing structures. This historical study analyzes the social force of markets and nature in the Songpan region in concert with the political and social conflicts and compromise at the heart of changing political regimes and the area’s ethnic groups. It presents new perspectives on the social transformation and economies of Tibetans and Han Chinese from the late Qing Dynasty to Mao era and contemporary western China. It not only allows for a new understanding of how the natural environment and landscapes fit into the imagination of the Sino-Tibetan borderlands, it also figures in the challenges of negotiating ethnic and market relations among societies. The mix of complicated relations over natural environment, resources, politics and markets was at the heart of the region’s social and political infrastructures, with far-reaching implications for both historical and contemporary China.
