Sommario/riassunto

Multidisciplinary or post-disciplinary research is what is needed when dealing with such complex subjects as ritual behaviour. This research, therefore, combines ethnography with historical sources to examine the relationship between modern Greek death rituals and ancient written and visual sources on the subject of death and gender. The central theme of this work is women's role in connection with the cult of the dead in ancient and modern Greece. The research is based on studies in ancient...

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Water Resources, Ocean, and Environmental Engineering (ICWROEE 2024). It strives to promote an interdisciplinary approach to water management by taking various environmental factors into consideration. This book covers theoretical principles with real-world applications and equips readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to address the pressing challenges of water resources engineering in an era of increasing water scarcity and climate change. The book serves as an invaluable reference for researchers and professionals in the fields of water resources management,



environmental engineering, and ocean engineering. It also inspires the next generation of water resource engineers to create sustainable solutions for the management and preservation of our most precious natural resource—water.
