San Francisco Bay: Portrait of an Estuary

2003 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionWith its shimmering vistas of fog, light, and cityscape, San Francisco Bay is famous worldwide--yet very little known. The bay, together with its inland delta, is one of the largest estuaries in the Americas. It is a crucial bird habitat,a vital fishery, a major shipping center, a source of precious water, a playground for its cities, a natural treasure in trouble, and a stirring challenge to our human stewardship. John Hart`s lyrical writing and David Sanger`s eye-opening color photographs reveal this marvel hidden in plain sight--its varied past, its complicated present, and its promising future. Hart and Sanger journey back through the bay`s history, introducing its native cultures, describing its ecology, and tracing its urban and industrial development. They take us with them on a tanker bound upriver, to a duck hunter`s blind at dawn, to a delta island when the migratory sandhill cranes come in, to the strange white fields where salt is harvested. And theyЕ [detailed...]

Description: San Francisco in Maps documents the evolution of this fascinating and beautiful city through 72 breathtaking antiquarian maps, spanning four centuries. The gorgeous maps, many of them hand colored and rarely seen, bring alive the history of this vibrant city. These maps range from the early days when they served to aid ship navigation of this unfamiliar and frequently foggy harbor, to the gold rush era in the mid-1800s, when the city`s population grew exponentially and it saw the beginnings of neighborhoods like Chinatown, many of which persist to today, to the period before and after the great earthquake of 1906, which destroyed 80 percent of the city, and from out of which modern San Francisco emerged. ‘ормат: 23,5 см x 27,5 см.

Sanctioning Saddam: The Politics of Intervention in Iraq

Ч y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Throughout the 1990s Iraq has been the target not only of military attack but of the most draconian and protracted economic embargo ever imposed by the international community. In the immediate aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War the embargo was accompanied by an effort to provide aid to the Iraqi people and to protect them against human rights abuses, an initiative that seemed to break new ground in providing protection for civilians in a situation of conflict. Yet the outcome of the international communityТs efforts has fallen short of the promise. Why has there been such a large gap between the rhetoric and reality? How exactly have the combination of economic sanctions, international humanitarian aid and limited protection of civilians affectedIraq? And what lessons can be drawn from the experience? This is the most carefully documented, comprehensive account to be published on the consequences of intervention in Iraq during the 1990s. It examines not only the record ofЕ [detailed...]

Sanctuaries and Cults in Crete from the Late Minoan IIIC to the Archaic Period: Continuity and Change (Religions in the Graeco-Roman World) (Religions in the Graeco-Roman World)

2005 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionThis volume documents the development of Cretan sanctuaries and associated cults from the end of the Late Bronze Age into the Archaic Period (c.1200?600 BC). The book supplies up-to-date site catalogues and discusses recurring types of sanctuaries, the history of their use and their religious and social functions, offering new insights into the period as a whole. Ancient Crete is known as an island whose religion displays a strong continuity with ?Minoan? traditions. The period of 1200?600 BC in general, however, is considered as one of profound socio-political and cultural change. This study explores the idea of ?continuity? by detailing the different processes and mechanisms involved in the maintenance of older cult traditions and provides balance by placing the observed changes in cult customs and the use of sanctuaries in the broader context of societal change.
