Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. The volume is the printed version of issue 17 (2017) of EXPRESSION, the quarterly online journal on conceptual anthropology. Sites of worship have had religious images and symbols since prehistoric times. The relationship between religion and art emerges in its variations and in its purposes. Significant examples are presented by the authors, in Israel and the Middle East, in Armenia, Tunisia, Europe, Central Asia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, showing a conceptual archetype that has persisted since distant prehistoric times. To what extent is religion inspiring art, and to what extent is art inspiring religion?.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. When prehistoric art is decoded it becomes an invaluable cultural source in itself. An additional approach is attempting to use it as a document to reconstruct the cause of its creation. What did actually happen, what were the reasons that brought about the graphic production that has reached us, and what story does it tell? This is not the task of archeology! Indeed! It is the task of conceptual anthropology. Archeology has the important role of providing the raw material for conceptual anthropology.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. Prehistoric and tribal people have left behind millions of images, in Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. Was their purpose just that of embellishing rock surfaces? What drove people from all over the world to record their memories throughout the ages? This immense heritage, whether intentional or not, is full of messages to be read and understood. What are the images telling us? What are the stories that the makers intended to memorize or communicate? Many events, many expressions of human thoughts and beliefs, many different aspects of life and culture, can add millennia to the history of mankind.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. By its own nature culture moves and changes. The reasons that lead to these changes are not always evident. When understood, the causes help us to comprehend what the past can teach us about understanding the present and attempting to foresee the future. Eighteen authors from ten countries in five continents discuss different aspects of cultural changes. Each article contributes a small but meaningful tessera of the fascinating mosaic of cultural changes in a worldwide perspective.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. From the earliest times of sedentarization to the present drifts of urbanization, patterns of settlement are the expression of human social and economic adventures. This book mainly focusses on the origins and conceptual evolution of settlement.The causes and effects of living patterns reflect the requirements of society and its means of survival. As a cultural trend, urbanization developed very late: the first town is just 10,000 years old while the first deliberately modeled stone implements were produced over 3 million years ago. The human mind evolved starting with the first pebble-tool and the earliest material remnants. Clustered settlements developed where it was socially and economically suitable; in some corners of the world it became the dominant pattern of living early on, in other areas it started just a few years ago, and elsewhere it did not arrive at all.

Book
Soft cover. Condition: New. Understanding the primary expressions of human attempts to explain the shapes of nature opens up a window on the roots of esthetics and also on the processes leading to scientific research. The natural reactions of our senses are wrapped in the many veils of cultural conditioning, ever since the first tool was conceived by a human hand, and even before. The meaning of a rock differs between those who believe that it is the shelter of an ancestral spirit, and those who are looking for gold, petrol or precious stones. This difference of approach is still a cause of conflict. Rocks have a meaning, but not the same for everyone.
