Book Synopsis Scenes from Prehistoric Life by : Francis Pryor
Download or read book Scenes from Prehistoric Life written by Francis Pryor and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An invigorating journey through Britain's prehistoric landscape, and an insight into the lives of its inhabitants. 'Highly compelling' Spectator, Books of the Year 'An evocative foray into the prehistoric past' BBC Countryfile Magazine 'Vividly relating what life was like in pre-Roman Britain' Choice Magazine 'Makes life in Britain BC often sound rather more appealing than the frenetic and anxious 21st century!' Daily Mail In Scenes from Prehistoric Life, the distinguished archaeologist Francis Pryor paints a vivid picture of British and Irish prehistory, from the Old Stone Age (about one million years ago) to the arrival of the Romans in AD 43, in a sequence of fifteen profiles of ancient landscapes. Whether writing about the early human family who trod the estuarine muds of Happisburgh in Norfolk c.900,000 BC, the craftsmen who built a wooden trackway in the Somerset Levels early in the fourth millennium BC, or the Iron Age denizens of Britain's first towns, Pryor uses excavations and surveys to uncover the daily routines of our ancient ancestors. By revealing how our prehistoric forebears coped with both simple practical problems and more existential challenges, Francis Pryor offers remarkable insights into the long and unrecorded centuries of our early history, and a convincing, well-attested and movingly human portrait of prehistoric life as it was really lived.
Book Synopsis Scenes from Deep Time by : Martin J. S. Rudwick
Download or read book Scenes from Deep Time written by Martin J. S. Rudwick and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-12-15 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the earth look in prehistoric times? Scientists and artists collaborated during the half-century prior to the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species to produce the first images of dinosaurs and the world they inhabited. Their interpretations, informed by recent fossil discoveries, were the first efforts to represent the prehistoric world based on sources other than the Bible. Martin J. S. Rudwick presents more than a hundred rare illustrations from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to explore the implications of reconstructing a past no one has ever seen.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The past was governed by the same rules as the present, and this was known as uniformitarianism. It was first developed by the Scottish geologist James Hutton in the late eighteenth century, and culminated in Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology, first published in 1830. #2 Archaeology is a science-based humanity that sets out to reveal the way various communities interacted and how this in turn led to their rise or decline. But you cannot do this simply by studying artifacts. You must also pay attention to the landscapes where people lived. #3 The seaside towns and villages of East Anglia have a charm all of their own. I have a particular fondness for the cliffs at the little village of Dunwich, in Suffolk, with their thick woods that allow tantalizing glimpses of the sea far below. #4 The footprints at Goldcliff in the Severn Estuary were made around 4700 BC, at the end of the Mesolithic, but the ones at Happisburgh were made by a family group who were out foraging for food along the tidal river.

Book Synopsis The Antipodes of the Mind by : Benny Shanon
Download or read book The Antipodes of the Mind written by Benny Shanon and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2002 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a pioneering cognitive psychological study of Ayahuasca, a plant-based Amazonian psychotropic brew. Benny Shanon presents a comprehensive charting of the various facets of the special state of mind induced by Ayahuasca, and analyzes them from a cognitive psychological perspective. He also presents some philosophical reflections. Empirically, the research presented in this book is based on the systematic recording of the author's extensive experiences with the brew and on the interviewing of a large number of informants: indigenous people, shamans, members of different religious sects using Ayahuasca, and travellers. In addition to its being the most thorough study of the Ayahuasca experience to date, the book lays the theoretical foundations for the psychological study of non-ordinary states of consciousness in general.
Book Synopsis Telling Children About the Past by : Nena Galanidou
Download or read book Telling Children About the Past written by Nena Galanidou and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together archeologists, historians, psychologists, and educators from different countries and academic traditions to address the many ways that we tell children about the (distant) past. Knowing the past is fundamentally important for human societies, as well as for individual development. The authors expose many unquestioned assumptions and preformed images in narratives of the past that are routinely presented to children. The contributors both examine the ways in which children come to grips with the past and critically assess the many ways in which contemporary societies and an increasing number of commercial agents construct and use the past.
