Sommario/riassunto

Volume I of Accounting History covers the first 10,000 or so years of the rise of accounting and civilization. Conveniently, accounting was part of the developing culture from the start. Before civilization, big-brained humans still developed language, stone tools, started trade, and made both bread and beer from wild wheat. The beer and bread combo may have been the big push to settled agriculture, villages, and the start of civilization. With fortified villages and towns, accumulating wealth meant inventory accounting, first using tokens (clay balls). Increased technology, population, and power followed, as did the need for better bookkeeping.

Sommario/riassunto

Annie Richard's 'M(m)ère Auto-Essai' explores the symbolic and cultural constructs of motherhood and femininity. The book delves into the concept of the 'Mère' (Mother) as a distinct symbolic figure, separate from the real mother, and examines its representation throughout history and society. Richard uses her personal experiences and reflections to address contemporary issues of gender and identity, proposing a reimagined relationship with the symbolic Mother that transcends traditional boundaries. The book is aimed at readers interested in gender studies, cultural analysis, and the evolution of feminine identity. Richard's work encourages a dialogue about the roles and perceptions of women, challenging the normative ideologies imposed by culture and education.
