Wilson's Contemporaries and Correspondents -- Notes -- Selected Bibliography -- Acknowledgments -- IndexAudubon was not the father of American ornithology. That honorific belongs to Alexander Wilson, whose encyclopedic American Ornithology established a distinctive approach that emphasized the observation of live birds. In the first full-length study to reproduce all of Wilson's unpublished drawings for the nine-volume Ornithology, Edward Burtt and William Davis illustrate Wilson's pioneering and, today, underappreciated achievement as the first ornithologist to describe the birds of the North American wilderness. Abandoning early ambitions to become a poet in the mold of his countryman Robert Burns, Wilson emigrated from Scotland to settle near Philadelphia, where the botanist William Bartram encouraged his proclivity for art and natural history. Wilson traveled 12,000 miles on foot, on horseback, in a rowboat, and by stage and ship, establishing a network of observers along the way. He wrote hundreds of accounts of indigenous birds, discovered many new species, and sketched the behavior and ecology of each species he encountered. Drawing on their expertise in both science and art, Burtt and Davis show how Wilson defied eighteenth-century conventions of biological illustration by striving for realistic depiction of birds in their native habitats. He drew them in poses meant to facilitate identification, making his work the model for modern field guides and an inspiration for Audubon, Spencer Fullerton Baird, and other naturalists who followed. On the bicentennial of his death, this beautifully illustrated volume is a fitting tribute to Alexander Wilson and his unique contributions to ornithology, ecology, and the study of animal behavior.OrnithologistsUnited StatesBiographyOrnithologyUnited StatesHistoryBirdsUnited StatesPictorial worksElectronic books.OrnithologistsOrnithologyHistory.Birds598.092BBurtt Edward H.Jr.,1948-1034289Davis William E.Jr.,1936-1034290MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465100403321Alexander Wilson2453327UNINA01025cam0 2200253 450 E60020000131120240625102330.0389500308520040409d2003 |||||ita|0103 bagerDE<<Die >>Christianisierung der spätrömischen WeltStadt, Land, Haus, Kirche und Koster in frühchristlicher ZeitBeat BrenkWiesbadenReichert Verlag2003VI, 226 p.282 ill.32 cmBrenk, BeatA600200025594070158880ITUNISOB20240625RICAUNISOBUNISOB700120418E600200001311M 102 Monografia moderna SBNM700003575CON120418acquistoPbethUNISOBUNISOB20040409110251.020240625102330.0bethbConsultabile presso il Laboratorio di archeologia tardo antica e medievale (LATEM) vedi homepage della Biblioteca link FondiChristianisierung der spätrömischen Welt1673458UNISOB02670oam 2200613I 450 991015035080332120250626150810.01-315-67385-11-317-37740-010.4324/9781315673851(CKB)3710000000932704(MiAaPQ)EBC4741942970390251(OCoLC)962752491(OCoLC-P)962752491(FlBoTFG)9781315673851(EXLCZ)99371000000093270420161116d2017 uy 0engurcnu---unuuurdacontentrdamediardacarrierExploring the materiality of food "stuffs" transformations, symbolic consumption and embodiment(s) /edited by Louise Steel and Katharina Zinn1st ed.London :Routledge,2017.1 online resource (316 pages) illustrations, tablesRoutledge Studies in Archaeology1-138-94119-0 1-317-37741-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.pt. 1. Transformations -- pt. 2. Embodied encounters -- pt. 3. Symbolic consumption."People's embodied engagement with food and the material culture of food are central to their daily experiences and their sense of identity. This book builds upon the existing dialogue of the materiality of food by the novel addition of the material culture of food (objects used in packaging, storing, processing and consuming food). By looking at cultures spanning from ancient Egypt to 20th century Netherlands, from modern Kenya to ancient China, the interdisciplinary chapters explore the multiple interplays between foods, bodies, material worlds, rituals, and embodied knowledge that emerge from these material encounters and how this knowledge, in turn, shape the material culture of food"--Provided by publisher.Routledge studies in archaeology.FoodSocial aspectsHistoryFood habitsHistoryDietHistoryMaterial cultureHistorySocial changeHistoryFoodSocial aspectsHistory.Food habitsHistory.DietHistory.Material cultureHistory.Social changeHistory.394.1/209394.1209Steel LouiseZinn KatharinaOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910150350803321Exploring the materiality of food "stuffs"2882280UNINA
