Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 590 pp., bibliography, index. What does the archaeology of an increasingly united Europe look like? How does it differ from the archaeologies practiced in the 19th and 20th centuries? What separates the archaeologies of Europe today and what binds them? This volume addresses these complex issues… and in doing so offers a vital contribution to the history of science. It brings together archaeologists from across Europe to discuss how archaeology developed in their countries. For students and scholars interested in the history of archaeology as well as those who want to learn more about the background of everyday archaeological practices, this volume offers a rare possibility. It provides an in-depth look at the state of archaeology in Europe today and offers a perspective on how it may develop in the future.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Petrification is a process, but it also can be understood as a concept. This volume takes the first steps to manifest, materialize or petrify the concept of petrification and turn it into a tool for analyzing material and social processes. The wide array of approaches to petrification as a p…rocess assembled here is more of a collection of possibilities than an attempt to establish a firm, law-generating theory. Divided into three parts, this volumes twenty-plus authors explore petrification both as a theoretical concept and as a contextualized material and social process across geological, prehistoric and historic periods. Topics connecting the various papers are properties of materials, preferences and choices of actors, the temporality of matter, being and becoming, the relationality between actors, matter, things and space (landscape, urban space, built space), and perceptions of the following generations dealing with the petrified matter, practices, and socialrelations. Contributors to this volume study specifically whether particular processes of petrification are confined to the material world or can be seen as mirroring, following, triggering, or contradicting changes in social life and general world views. Each of the authors explores for a period or a specific feature practices and changes that led to increased conformity and regularity. Some authors additionally focus on the methods and scrutinize them and their applications for their potential to create objects of investigation: things, people, periods, in order to raise awareness for these or to shape or invent categories. This volume is of interest to archaeologists, geologists, architectural historians, conservationists, and historians. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Zunächst werden zu diesem Zweck im Folgenden das Problem der Machtverteilung im Libanon und die Geschichte des libanesischen Verfassungsrechts dargestellt sowie die Repräsentanz von Christen, Sunniten und Schiiten innerhalb des libanesischen Verfassungssystems. Anschließend wird der Aufstieg der libanesischen Schiiten von einer ärmlichen Randgruppe zu einer politischen und militärischen Macht im Libanon beschrieben, bevor die eingehende juristische Untersuchung der Vereinbarung von Doha vom 21. Mai 2008, ihrer Umsetzung sowie ihrer Entstehungsgeschichte die Frage klärt, ob durch diese von der Hisbollah sowie ihren Verbündeten Amal und der christlichen Freien Patriotischen Bewegung (FPM) durchgesetzte Vereinbarung mit den Regierungsparteien der libanesische Verfassungsstaat außer Kraft gesetzt und so revidiert wurde.

This volume takes the first steps to manifest, materialize or 'petrify' the concept of 'petrification' and turn it into a tool for analyzing material and social… processes. The wide array of approaches to petrification as a process assembled here is more of a collection of possibilities than an attempt to establish a firm, law-generating theory. Divided into three parts, this volume's twenty-plus authors explore petrification both as a theoretical concept and as a contextualized material and social process across geological, prehistoric and historic periods.Topics connecting the various papers are properties of materials, preferences and choices of actors, the temporality of matter, being and becoming, the relationality between actors, matter, things and space (landscape, urban space, built space), and perceptions of the following generations dealing with the petrified matter, practices, and social relations. Contributors to this volume study specifically whether particular processes of petrification are confined to the material world or can be seen as mirroring, following, triggering, or contradicting changes in social life and general world views. Each of the authors explores - for a period or a specific feature - practices and changes that led to increased conformity and regularity. Some authors additionally focus on the methods and scrutinize them and their applications for their potential to create objects of investigation: things, people, periods, in order to raise awareness for these or to shape or 'invent' categories.
