The Walking Larder Patterns of Domestication, Pastoralism, and Predation

The Walking Larder Patterns of Domestication, Pastoralism, and Predation
The Walking Larder: Patterns of Domestication, Pastoralism, and Predation By Juliet Clutton-Brock
2014 | 386 Pages | ISBN: 1138815993 | EPUB | 6 MB
This book is one of a series of more than 20 volumes resulting from the World Archaeological Congress, September 1986, attempting to bring together not only archaeologists and anthropologists from many parts of the world, as well as academics from contingent disciplines, but also non-academics from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. This text looks at human-animal interactions, especially some of the less well known aspects of the field. A number of studies in the book document some of the vast changes humankind has wrought upon the natural environment through the movement of various species of animals around the world. These chapters provide contributions to the understanding of contemporary ecological problems, especially the deforestation taking place to provide grazing for live-stock. The 31 contributions offer a shop-window of approaches, primarily from a biological perspective.

The Victors of Imam Hussain

The Victors of Imam Hussain
Muhammad Mahdi Chamseddine, "The Victors of Imam Hussain"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1943393087 | PDF | pages: 285 | 4.1 mb
Through his book The Victors, Ayatollah Chamseddine provides a critical study of the individuals who came to support Imam Hussain in his movement against the Umayyad regime of Yazid ibn Muawiya in 680 AD. This work sheds light on who those individuals were, their backgrounds, as well as a look into the discrepancies found in history's account of the quantity and traits of Hussain's supporters. Ayatollah Chamseddine's initial intent with this work was to provide an appendix for his book, Hussain's Revolution; however, given the length and significance of this particular study, he decided to publish an entirely separate book dedicated to the victors of Hussain.
