The Archaeology of Maritime Landscapes
Author: Ben FordPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441982108
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
Maritime cultural landscapes are collections of submerged archaeological sites, or combinations of terrestrial and submerged sites that reflect the relationship between humans and the water. These landscapes can range in size from a single beach to an entire coastline and can include areas of terrestrial sites now inundated as well as underwater sites that are now desiccated. However, what binds all of these sites together is the premise that each aspect of the landscape –cultural, political, environmental, technological, and physical – is interrelated and can not be understood without reference to the others. In this maritime cultural landscape approach, individual sites are treated as features within the larger landscape and the interpretation of single sites add to a larger analysis of a region or culture. This approach provides physical and theoretical links between terrestrial and underwater archaeology as well as prehistoric and historic archaeology; consequently, providing a framework for integrating such diverse topics as trade, resource procurement, habitation, industrial production, and warfare into a holistic study of the past. Landscape studies foster broader perspectives and approaches, extending the study of maritime cultures beyond the shoreline. Despite this potential, the archaeological study of maritime landscapes is a relatively untried approach with many questions regarding the methods and perspectives needed to effectively analyze these landscapes. The chapters in this volume, which include contributions from the United States, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Australia, address many of the theoretical and methodological questions surrounding maritime cultural landscapes. The authors comprise established scholars as well as archaeologists at the beginning of their careers, providing a healthy balance of experience and innovation. The chapters also demonstrate parity between method and theory, where the varying interpretations of culture and space are given equal weight with the challenges of investigating both wet and dry sites across large areas.
Modeling Spatial and Economic Impacts of Disasters
Author: Yasuhide OkuyamaPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540214496
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
This book brings together a collection of innovative papers on strategies for analyzing the spatial and economic impacts of disasters. Natural and human-induced disasters pose several challenges for conventional modeling. For example, disasters entail complex linkages between the natural, built, and socio-economic environments. They often create chaos and economic disequilibrium, and can also cause unexpected long-term, structural changes. Dynamic interactions among agents and behavioral adjustments in a disaster become complicated. The papers in this volume make notable progress in tackling these challenges through refinements of conventional methods, as well as new modeling frameworks and multidisciplinary, integrative strategies. The papers also provide case study applications that afford new insights on disaster processes and loss reduction strategies.

Book Description
Certains des désastres les plus importants dans l'histoire ont été causés par des éruptions volcaniques. Les grandes éruptions ont aussi des implications pour le climat global. Ce livre en donne un compte-rendu lisible, direct, des aspects violents des volcans et des formes diverses que les éruptions peuvent prendre. L'auteur explore aussi pourquoi les volcans existent, pourquoi ils se passent là où ils se passent et comment les exemples d'éruptions historiques majeures peuvent être interprétés en termes de processus physiques. Il place le volcanisme dans une perspective planétaire, explorant le rôle prééminent du volcanisme sous-marin sur la Terre et la gamme stupéfiante des phénomènes volcaniques révélés par l'exploration du système solaire.
