California and Great Basin Olivella Shell Bead Guide

California and Great Basin Olivella Shell Bead Guide

Olivella shell beads are ubiquitous at Central California Indian sites and were traded far inland by the local inhabitants. Their distinctive patterns of manufacture provide archaeologists with important chronological morphological and distributional information. This guide—authored by a professional artifact replicator and an archaeological expert on shell bead typology- offers a well developed 16-category typology including the descriptive temporal and metric characteristics of each style illustrated with almost 200 color photographs. Spiral bound to facilitate field and laboratory work it is an essential tool for conducting archaeology in the American west.

The Ecphoras Iconic Fossils of Eastern North America

The Ecphoras Iconic Fossils of Eastern North America

In the Miocene and Pliocene fossil shell beds of the eastern United States the single most spectacular molluscan species radiation is seen in the ecphora shells (the Tribe Ecphorini). These bizarrely shaped gastropods with their distinctive ribbed shell sculpture represent a separate branch of the Subfamily Ocenebridae Family Muricidae. Characteristically these muricid gastropods are heavily ornamented with spiral ribs and cords and are considered some of the most beautiful and interesting groups of fossil mollusks found along the Atlantic Coastal Plain and Floridian Peninsula. The ecphoras are greatly sought after by fossil collectors. The ecphora faunas and their individual species and subspecies are illustrated and described in detail along with photographs of ecphora-bearing geological units and in-situ specimens. The authors list the 67 known species and subspecies that are recognized as valid arranged by the eight genera and five subgenera that encompass these taxa. | The Ecphoras Iconic Fossils of Eastern North America

A History of Cambodia

A History of Cambodia

In this clear and concise volume author David Chandler provides a timely overview of Cambodia a small but increasingly visible Southeast Asian nation. Praised by the Journal of Asian Studies as an ''original contribution superior to any other existing work'' this acclaimed text has now been completely revised and updated to include material examining the early history of Cambodia whose famous Angkorean ruins now attract more than one million tourists each year the death of Pol Pot and the revolution and final collapse of the Khmer Rouge. The fourth edition reflects recent research by major scholars as well as Chandler's long immersion in the subject and contains an entirely new section on the challenges facing Cambodia today including an analysis of the current state of politics and sociology and the increasing pressures of globalization. This comprehensive overview of Cambodia will illuminate for undergraduate students as well as general readers the history and contemporary politics of a country long misunderstood. | A History of Cambodia

The Cultural Heritage of Nagaland

The Cultural Heritage of Nagaland

This volume gives an in-depth account of cultural heritage of Nagaland covering important themes like cultural beliefs traditional knowledge material culture and social institutions. Contributors from diverse dis­ciplines and backgrounds have delved into the cultural heritage of the state’s variegated tribes. Nagaland a hilly state in North-East India had been the centre of British colonialism and American Baptist mission. This cultural contact is significantly reflected in the socio-cultural life and the contributors have shed light on the continuities and changes. This volume highlights the multiplicity of cultural traditions that are specific to various tribes inhabiting sixteen districts of Nagaland since their experiences of modernity and cultural contact with ‘others’ have been diverse. The contributors have mainly focussed on the cultural heritage of the majority Naga tribes but other tribes like the Kukis and Kacharis are part and parcel of the cultural melting pot of Nagaland and this volume in a way underscores the cultural exchange and interactions.

Mollusks and Marine Environments of the Ten Thousand Islands

Mollusks and Marine Environments of the Ten Thousand Islands

Mollusks and Marine Environments of the Ten Thousand Islands provides the first comprehensive overview of the shells and habitats that are present in the last unexplored coastal area of southwestern Florida. The mysterious and primordial Ten Thousand Islands where the rivers and marshlands of the Everglades empty into the Gulf of Mexico house a number of remarkable marine ecosystems many shown here in detail for the first time. Primary among these are unique worm shell “reef systems ” composed entirely of immense masses of vermetid gastropod mollusks. These previously unexplored and unstudied gastropod reefs which are often many acres in size are shown here to mimic coral reefs in their growth structure and represent the only large-scale molluscan reefs found anywhere on Earth. Living in association with the zonated gastropod reefs are a number of rare and unusual mollusks some of which represent endemic species that are unique to the Ten Thousand Islands. These and many other southwestern Florida shells are illustrated throughout this book along with detailed illustrations and descriptions of the marine and estuarine environments that dominate the archipelago and its adjacent lagoon systems.

The Silver Economy An Ageing Society in the European Union

The Silver Economy An Ageing Society in the European Union

The definition of “old” has evolved intensively over the years due to demographic changes and the ageing population is one of the most frequently discussed issues in recent decades. The profile of the 21st century senior is completely different from the senior in the second half of the 21st-century senior is completely different from the senior in the second half of the 20th century not to mention earlier periods in history. As an increasing group of benefactors of human activity they create demand for products and experiences. The system of goods and services that aims to leverage their purchasing potential and satisfy their consumption needs including living health tourism cultural information and communication needs has been referred to as the so-called Silver Economy. The book reviews the phenomenon of ageing of the EU’s population over 50. It also presents a multidimensional view of the potential for the development of this group’s economic social medical family personal and technological demand in the early 21st century. The book analyses the market behaviour of seniors and argues that the Silver Economy will grow in importance and profitability every year in various areas both public and private. This includes health finance employment leisure and well-being education and the use of digital tools. This publication is recommended for policymakers and business players who are considering how to achieve economic development through the growing and changing demand of the ageing population. For the world is now facing a challenge that no community has ever faced before – the coexistence of a long-lived population on the one hand and the growing popularity of digital technologies on the other.
