Add to basketHardback. Condition: New. Why do people single out gold, sapphires, diamonds, and other minerals as particularly "precious"? What makes precious minerals "precious"? Drawing from ethnographic and cross-cultural research, this collection of anthropological essays and case studies answers these questions by exploring humans' multifaceted relationships with the minerals they deem "precious." The Anthropology of Precious Minerals addresses the entanglement of humans and minerals, with a particular focus on the practices of scrappers, miners, and hunters as they work to extract value. The editors draw from history, archaeology, and ethnography, and remind us that "preciousness" must always be understood in relation to complex cultural, political-economic, and semiotic systems of value.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Neuf. Barcelona, Moleiro 2007. 1ère Réédition de l'édition de 1547 [ propriété de de la bibliothèque Huntington, à San Marino en Californie ] ---- 2 Volumes : ATLAS VALLARD en reliure éditeur plein maroquin rouge avec encadrements dorés . Sous étui . Format in-folio( 39 x 28 cm ). ---- 68 pages de cartes couleurs. + 1 Volume de commentaires in-folio reliure éditeur cartonnée sous jaquette illustrée. ********************* "" Cet atlas fut réalisé au sein de ce qui est appelé l'école de cartographie de Dieppe. Un doute subsiste sur l'auteur de ces cartes et Nicolas Vallard n'en fut peut-être que le premier propriétaire1. En effet, certaines informations qu'elles contiennent n'étaient connues alors que des cartographes et marins portugais1 et la plupart des noms de lieux figurant sur les cartes sont les noms en portugais et non en français. Au cours de son histoire, l'atlas appartint à Talleyrand qui fit relier les cartes qu'il contenait en 1805. Il est actuellement la propriété de la bibliothèque Huntington, à San Marino en Californie. Basé sur des cartes nautiques, cet atlas n'était pas destiné à l'usage des navigateurs mais à montrer une représentation du monde1. Une des ces caractéristiques est sa riche enluminure. Elle reproduit des scènes de colonisation du XVIe siècle, des scènes de la vie supposée des populations autochtones et quelques scènes mythologiques1. Les cartes de l'atlas témoignent d'une grande connaissance de la cartographie planétaire. Les contours de l'Australie sont une fois de plus représentés comme dans beaucoup d'autres cartes marines réalisées par les cartographes de l'école de cartographie de Dieppe. Le marin et cartographe Jean Alfonse, ayant navigué avec les Portugais, aurait donné à l'école de Dieppe les détails sur les côtes australiennes1. Toutes ces cartes présentent le nord en bas. Celui-ci est symbolisé par une fleur de lys sur les nombreuses roses de vents figurant dans l'atlas. ************************ Les quinze cartes de l'Atlas sont : 1. Ğ Terra Java ğ (côte est de l Australie ?) 2. Ğ La Jave ğ (côte du nord de l Australie ?), une partie de l Asie et l Insulinde 3. Ğ Terra Java ğ (côte ouest de l Australie ?) Peut-être la côte de l'actuel Queensland1. 4. Golfe Persique et la Mer Rouge 5. Sud-est de l Afrique et Madagascar 6. Océan Atlantique, côtes de l Afrique et du Brésil L'île fantôme Saint-Mathieu y est indiquée. 7. Nord-ouest de l Afrique 8. Europe et nord de l Afrique 9. Amérique du Nord, côte est 10. Amérique Centrale 11. Caraïbes et le Brésil 12. Amérique du Sud : Río de la Plata et détroit de Magellan 13. Europe et le nord de l Afrique 14. Mer Adriatique 15. Mer Égée .

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: new. Paperback. As a very young child, I found that I had the gift of writing poetry. My delight knew no ends when at the age of 7 or 8 years, I had a few poems published in the Cape Times Junior section for which I received certificates. From then on there was no stopping me and I spent many hours scribbling away. Unfortunately those earlier poems have been mislaid, but I still continued writing when the mood took me. This collection is a journey over many years, inspired by many different circumstances and people who crossed my path along the way. V.v.R. Newcastle, KZN. July 2014 This item is printed on demand.
