Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. The history of the necropolis of Qubbet el-Hawa, located in western Aswan (Egypt), is an extended one. The archaeological site was in use from c. 2500 BC to the Byzantine Period. It comprises many tombs, mostly of Old Kingdom to Middle Kingdom date, belonging to the highest and administr…ative elite of Elephantine, 1st Upper Egyptian Nome. This area played an important role in the ancient state, even though it was far away from the royal court, due to the exceptional nature of its border territory, its proximity to Lower Nubia, and the expeditions and the trade with other neighboring lands. The Qubbet el Hawa Project, led by the University of Jaén and with the collaboration of the MoTA, conducted its first field season in summer 2008. Since then, research works have been carried out by a multidisciplinary team. This volume is the continuation of the previous one, Results of the 2019 Research Season at Qubbet el-Hawa. It presents and offers, to the wider scienti?c community, a larger range of papers concerning the preliminary results of two campaigns, 2020 (12th season) and 2021 (13th season), and updates the fieldwork carried out during the past decade. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Il réside tout d'abord à l'île de France et ensuite à l'île de La Réunion du 12 août au 5 décembre 1801 avant de retourner en France. En 1804, il publie la relation de son séjour sous le titre "Voyage dans les quatre principales îles des mer d'Afrique, Fait par ordre du gouvernement pendant les années neuf et dix de la République (1801-1802)" imprimé par F. Buisson à Paris en 1804. Les trois volumes de texte sont accompagnés d'un atlas de 58 planches. Quand Bory de Saint-Vincent débarque à l'île de France en mars 1801, il offre ses services au gouverneur, le général Magallon de la Morlière, qui l'envoie à La Réunion. Bory de Saint-Vincent passe quelques mois à visiter l'île et dessine les sites les plus pittoresques de l'île.Harvard: The Friedman Lab.Evolutionary History andPlant Development:Jean Baptiste Genevieve Marcellin Bory de Saint Vincent (Bory) was a vocal and important French supporter of materialist transformist thought in the early 19th century. In keeping with the biographical norm for many of the most influential 19th century naturalists, Bory served as the naturalist on board a naval expedition, later publishing a travel narrative, Voyage dans les quatre principals iles des mers d'Afrique (1804). Bory's astonishment at the high levels of animal and plant endemism in the Mascarene Islands led him to muse on the possibility of an evolutionary world, asking "How did greenery come to shade an isolated volcano?" .Much of what is known of Bory's evolutionary thought is revealed in his entries in the multivolume Dictionnaire classique des sciences naturelles, which he edited in the 1820s. Bory was a frequent contributor to the Dictionnaire, writing on such topics as "Creation," "Natural History," "Geography," "Man," "Orang," "Instinct," and "Intelligence." Of particular interest is the fact that Bory's Dictionnaire is known to have been on board the Beagle with Charles Darwin.Unlike other evolutionists such as Leopold von Buch (1825) and Charles Darwin who concluded that islands are colonized by long distant transport of species from neighboring mainlands, Bory explicitly rejected this possibility. Instead, he proposed a theory of multiple "modern creations" of life on isolated islands that involved instances of spontaneous generation from which more complex life forms then developed via Lamarckian transformism. Importantly, for Bory, the process of evolutionary innovation involved "individual aberrations" which become permanent and give rise to new species. Thus, variation is central to his evolutionary speculations. Bory also argued that evolutionary advances must take place within a strict order, or ecological succession, in which early-appearing "primitive species" prepare the ground for "newer" (more complex) species which rely on these pioneers for their own survival.Bory's transformist views did not go unnoticed. In an 1805 anonymous review of Voyage dans les quatre principals iles des mers d'Afrique published in the Edinburgh Review, the author describes Bory's theory of multiple spontaneous creations as "unphilosophical" and "by no means countenanced by fact." It is interesting to note that the subsequent 1805 English translation of Voyage (Voyage to, and travels through the four principle islands of the African seas) lacks many of the evolutionary bits of its original French .
