Sommario/riassunto

Winifred Tate, antropologo con una vasta esperienza in Colombia, svela che in quel Paese attivisti non governativi, rappresentanti statali e ufficiali militari hanno una concezione diversa dei diritti umani. Attingendo dalle storie di vita di attivisti di alto profilo, interviste pionieristiche con funzionari militari e ricerche presso la Commissione per i diritti umani delle Nazioni Unite a Ginevra, Counting the Dead sottolinea l'importanza di analizzare e comprendere i discorsi, le metodologie e le istituzioni sui diritti umani nel contesto di più ampi dibattiti culturali e politici.

Sommario/riassunto

This collection of pamphlets describes fifteen English witchcraft cases in detail, vividly recreating events to give the reader the illusion of actually being present at witchcraft accusations, trials and hangings. But how much are we victims of literary manipulation by these texts? The pamphlets are presented in annotated format, to allow the reader to decide. Some of the texts appear in print for the first time in three centuries, whilst others are newly edited to give a clearer picture of sources.

Sommario/riassunto

Our knowledge of the ecology of tropical rain-forest trees is limited, with detailed information available for perhaps only a few hundred of the many thousand of species that occur. Yet a good understanding of the trees is essential to unravelling the workings of the forest itself. This book aims to summarise contemporary understanding of the ecology of tropical rain-forest trees. The emphasis is on comparative ecology, an approach that can help to identify possible adaptive trends and evolutionary constraints and which may also lead to a workable



ecological classification for tree species, conceptually simplifying the rain-forest community and making it more amenable to analysis.
