López Bellido’s symphony adds a new dimension to the notion of per aspera ad astra (“through hardship to the stars”), which has been one of the central narratives of symphonic composition since Beethoven’s days.

Midge Raymond - L'ultimo continente eBooks & eLearning

Posted by Karabas91 at Oct. 23, 2017

Distese di neve e ghiaccio, tramonti di fuoco che durano ore, e contro l’orizzonte più incontaminato del pianeta la sagoma rassicurante delle creature in frac. Per Deb e Keller, ricercatori del Progetto Pinguini Antartici, non è stato difficile riconoscersi nei paesaggi fascinosi e aspri del polo sud, il continente bianco che da secoli attira tanti solitari come loro, esseri umani allo stesso tempo fragili e coraggiosi, in fuga da una vita poco appagante. Da quel primo incontro sul cargo diretto alla stazione di McMurdo, i due si ritrovano ogni estate per studiare le colonie di pinguini Papua, Adelia e Imperatore minacciati dall’inquinamento, ma anche per amarsi liberamente nell’unico posto al mondo in cui si sentono a casa.

An Archaeology of Early Christianity in Vanuatu: Kastom and Religious Change on Tanna and Erromango, 1839–1920 (Terra Australis) (Volume 44) by James L. Flexner
English | Dec. 19, 2016 | ISBN: 1760460745 | 236 Pages | PDF | 13 MB

Religious change is at its core a material as much as a spiritual process. Beliefs related to intangible spirits, ghosts, or gods were enacted through material relationships between people, places, and objects. The archaeology of mission sites from Tanna and Erromango islands, southern Vanuatu (formerly the New Hebrides), offer an informative case study for understanding the material dimensions of religious change.

Life on the Margins: An Archaeological Investigation of Late Holocene Economic Variability, Blue Mud Bay, Northern Australia (Terra Australis) (Volume 38) by Patrick Faulkner
English | Dec. 20, 2013 | ISBN: 1925021092 | 236 Pages | PDF | 7 MB

The research presented here is primarily concerned with human-environment interactions on the tropical coast of northern Australia during the late Holocene. Based on the suggestion that significant change can occur within short time-frames as a direct result of interactive processes, the archaeological evidence from the Point Blane Peninsula, Blue Mud Bay, is used to address the issue of how much change and variability occurred in hunter-gatherer economic and social structures during the late Holocene in coastal northeastern Arnhem Land.
