Los Quipocamayos

Autor: Frank Salomon

Número de Páginas: 311

Entre las "escrituras perdidas" del mundo antiguo ninguna resulta más desconcertante que la de los viejos khipus. Pero ¿en realidad ésta se ha perdido definitivamente? Este libro demuestra que los khipus tuvieron una larga y sorprendente trayectoria en coexistencia con lo que ha venido llamándose la "ciudad letrada" colonial y republicana. Nos encontramos, sin duda alguna, ante un brillante estudio etnográfico de su sobrevivencia. Partiendo de datos recogidos en Tupicocha (un pueblo de Huarochirí cuyas tradiciones están recogidas en el manuscrito quechua de 1608), Salomón consigue responder preguntas fundamentales: ¿Qué hechos se registraron en los cordeles? ¿En cuál código? ¿Para que- sirvieron los khipus dentro del régimen social de los ayllus? lisia investigación ofrece sugerentes respuestas, muy relevantes para los estudios arqueológicos y etnográficos. Pero mucho más que esto, el problema de los khipus plantea un reto a toda la teoría contemporánea sobre los orígenes cicla escritura y la literacidad. Al inscribir ¿la humanidad mimetiza inevitablemente el habla? liste sorprendente estudio sugiere que los pueblos originarios tle los Andes exploraron vías ...

When my experiences began...* I started writing when I first learned how and when my experiences began, where I am from, and where I am presently. I am excited about an obscurity of suggestion and willing to venture into the unknown to obtain a classification of words and advice for metaphorical composition and creation. Resisting spoiled, misused, commercialized, deformed, mispronounced, and in general, degraded words. Sensitivity to colloquial speech, intrigue with definition and synonyms. When there seems like there is no such thing as free verse but only different kinds of rhythm. Choice and will are always involved for the use of words can be argued in an illuminating way or a misleading way. Direct, elegant and vivid, sudden transitions, connections in logical order, conception, concise word choice, the unrewarding exercise of discovering observation and justification. The poetic idiom given to generalization. Where discouragement and difficulties follow. When words fall densely onto the page, imposing upon comprehension of sensibility. I have written or have started writing many topical stories, including some with difficult vocabulary. I have studied poets, authors, and...

I Gave Dating a Chance

Autor: Jeramy Clark

Número de Páginas: 194

In recent years, "dating" has become a dirty word in many Christian circles. So dirty, in fact, that young believers are now encouraged simply not to date. This position has provoked an open debate among teens, their parents and youth workers, and single adults. For a great number of them, many questions remain unanswered. "Lord, what do I do with this desire to date?" "Can dating be an option for young adults who love the Lord and long to please Him?" Is not dating really the only acceptable option in God's eyes? The answer, assures author and youth pastor Jeramy Clark, is a resounding "No!" The time has come for a sound, biblical, and practical approach that balances out the extreme perspectives: dating without responsibility versus a complete withdrawal from the dating process. Learn how you can confidently pursue healthy dating relationships that are characterized by holiness and integrity--and ultimately bring glory and honor to God--in I Gave Dating a Chance.

100 Creative Musings by Various Poets

Autor: Jesna Sajan

Número de Páginas: 521

The birth of this book, “100 Creative Musings by Various poets” is a result of various contributions by aspiring poets. Writing Poetry is not like a regular story, novel or literature. It is a genre by itself, using varied poetic devices, conventions to suggest differential interpretations of words, or to evoke emotional responses among its readers. For a poet in their journey, appreciation of the words they write, convey a message about elements in their daily life or a general viewpoint. It is the greatest milestone when our poem is appreciated well. We, poets are on this journey, we can never claim we are well established. Only our followers can credit our good or moderate poems in our writing.

Chowan College

Autor: Frank Stephenson

Número de Páginas: 132

Located in the picturesque northeastern corner of North Carolina in Murfreesboro and Hertford County, Chowan College is the second oldest of the state's Baptist colleges. Founded in 1848, the school began as Chowan Baptist Female Institute and did not begin admitting male students until 1931, almost a century after its opening. In 1937, the Great Depression forced the school to become a two-year junior college, but it regained four-year status in 1992. Since then, Chowan College has enjoyed a myriad of successes, including being named one of the South's premier third-tier comprehensive colleges and ranked ninth in terms of diversity by U.S. News and World Report. Recognized for such programs as elementary education, graphic communications, and environmental science, Chowan College is truly one of the South's hidden treasures. The black-and-white images in Chowan College trace the vast history of the school's existence, while also capturing the natural beauty of the campus. Through the vintage photographs and accompanying narrative, Chowan College's tradition unfolds-providing a detailed glimpse of the institution's athletic, extracurricular, social, and aesthetic history.

Charles, douze ans, vit en plein cœur de Paris. Un jour, en sortant du collège, pris d’une grosse faim, il vole une pomme sur l’étal d’un marchand. Le voilà aussitôt poursuivi par le vendeur furieux, auquel va s’ajouter très vite toute une foule de gens. Et plus Charles court, plus la masse de ses poursuivants enfle et grossit ! À sa grande stupéfaction, ils sont bientôt des dizaines, des centaines, même, à chaque coin de rue. Au bout de quelques minutes, la police surgit d’un peu partout, et des CRS tentent de lui barrer la route. Heureusement, comme il connaît bien le quartier, Charles arrive à se tirer de la nasse. Au hasard de sa course, il finit par croiser son sémillant parrain, Jérôme, qui lui explique qu’il n’a pas à s’en faire et l’emmène en toute décontraction rejoindre la cohorte des gens qui hurlent, le poing levé, prêts à partir grossir les rangs des manifestants qui ont pris Paris.

Adaptive Environmental Management

Autor: Catherine Allan , George Henry Stankey

Número de Páginas: 350

Adaptive management is the recommended means for continuing ecosystem management and use of natural resources, especially in the context of ‘integrated natural resource management’. Conceptually, adaptive management is simply learning from past management actions to improve future planning and management. However, adaptive management has proved difficult to achieve in practice. With a view to facilitating better practice, this new book presents lessons learned from case studies, to provide managers with ready access to relevant information. Cases are drawn from a number of disciplinary fields, including management of protected areas, watersheds and farms, rivers, forests, biodiversity and pests. Examples from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, the UK and Europe are presented at a variety of scales, from individual farms, through regional projects, to state-wide planning. While the book is designed primarily for practitioners and policy advisors in the fields of environmental and natural resource management, it will also provide a valuable reference for students and researchers with interests in environmental, natural resource and conservation management.

Black Lives in Britain

Autor: Jeffrey Green

Número de Páginas: 234

People of African descent in the British Isles have been widely overlooked in both British social history and the history of Black people. Located in country towns as well as large cities, their contributions spanned diverse roles and professions. Some people of African descent became doctors and medal-winning soldiers, while others were trapped in slavery or sex work. Black individuals participated in political and imperial reform as well as in groups that supported fellow Black communities. Many migrated to Africa, Australia, Jamaica, or New Zealand. Drawing from contemporary newspapers, historical archives, the writings of descendants and veterans, school and government files, and memoirs, this book offers an in-depth study of the role of Black people in British history. It examines how people of African descent were affected by cultural snobbery, racism, and imperialism, and sheds light on the many other aspects of the varied lives of Black people in Britain from 1830 to 1940. Despite rarely being contextualized in their age, people of color did not solely exist as stigmatized outsiders; they participated in English society as teachers, government officials, tradespeople, and...
