The Village and the Outside World in Golden Age Castile
Author: David E. VassbergPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521527132
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This 1996 book, based upon a vast range of documentary and secondary sources, shatters the disproven but persistent myth of the closed immobile village in the early modern period. It demonstrates that even in traditionalist Castile, pre-industrial village society was highly dynamic, with continuous inter-village, inter-regional, and rural-urban migration. The book is rich in human detail, with many vignettes of everyday life. Professor Vassberg examines such topics as fairs and markets, the transportation infrastructure, rural artisans and craftsmen, relations with the state, and life-cycle service. The approach is interdisciplinary, and pays special attention to how rural families dealt with economic and social problems. The rural Castile that emerges is a complex society that defies easy generalizations, but one which is unquestionably part of the general European reality.
Selling the Sea, Fishing for Power
Author: Dedy Supriadi AdhuriPublisher: ANU E Press
ISBN: 1922144835
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
This book is an ethnographic study of several coastal communities in the Kei Islands of eastern Indonesia. Central to Dr. Adhuri’s argument is an insistence that systems of local marine resource management cannot be studied on their own, in isolation from either the complex cultural and historical conditions that give impetus to community action or from the equally complex regional and national contexts within which such action is undertaken.

Pages : 518
Book Description
1925. The essential genius of this eminent French scientist, Fabre, lies in his ability to humanize a great phase of Nature that has long been a sealed book to the layman. The insect world, to all but the scientist, has always seemed unimportant, uninteresting and hitherto hidden in a maze of technical expressions and technical thought. But with the advent of Fabre another sun has risen to light up this little-known branch of human knowledge and human interest. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
