But while others have been issuing new reconstructions this novel work presents a close reading of the biblical text. The focus is on the literary techniques that ancient writers employed in narrating stories of conquest, and the aim is to pinpoint their communicative intentions in their own contexts. This reading is enhanced by engagement with the important discipline of the philosophy of history.

P. Lyons and Karen-Beth Scholthof -- Index.This volume explores problems in the history of science at the intersection of life sciences and agriculture, from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Taking a comparative national perspective, the book examines agricultural practices in a broad sense, including the practices and disciplines devoted to land management, forestry, soil science, and the improvement and management of crops and livestock. The life sciences considered include genetics, microbiology, ecology, entomology, forestry, and deal with US, European, Russian, Japanese, Indonesian, Chinese contexts. The book shows that the investigation of the border zone of life sciences and agriculture raises many interesting questions about how science develops. In particular it challenges one to re-examine and take seriously the intimate connection between scientific development and the practical goals of managing and improving – perhaps even recreating – the living world to serve human ends. Without close attention tothis zone it is not possible to understand the emergence of new disciplines and transformation of old disciplines, to evaluate the role and impact of such major figures of science as Humboldt and Mendel, or to appreciate how much of the history of modern biology has been driven by national ambitions and imperialist expansion in competition with rival nations.Archimedes, New Studies in the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology,2215-0064 ;40ScienceHistoryAgricultureAgricultureEconomic aspectsHistory of ScienceAgricultureAgricultural EconomicsScienceHistory.Agriculture.AgricultureEconomic aspects.History of Science.Agriculture.Agricultural Economics.338.15509630Phillips Deniseedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKingsland Sharonedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910483483703321New Perspectives on the History of Life Sciences and Agriculture2854312UNINA
