Highly recommendable." Andrea Brock, University of Sussex, UK "The book is highly relevant and topical, and I think the general perspective is underrepresented in the literature. It thus fills a gap. It is a tour de force - and a great read. It will become a classic." Poul Wisborg, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Norway "This provocative book reveals the specter of total extractivism and what to do about it - a necessary intervention from the social sciences into the world at large." James Fairhead, University of Sussex, UK Offering a thought provoking theoretical conversation around ecological crisis and natural resource extraction, this book suggests that we are on a trajectory geared towards total extractivism guided by the mythological Worldeater. The authors discuss why and how we have come to live in this catastrophic predicament, rooting the present in an original perspective that animates the forces of global techno-capitalist development. They argue that the Worldeater helps us make sense of the insatiable forces that transform, convert and consume the world. The book combines this unique approach with detailed academic review of critical agrarian studies and political ecology, the militarization of nature and the conventional and 'green' extraction nexus. It seeks radical reflection on the role of people in the construction and perpetuation of these crises, and concludes with some suggestions on how to tackle them.

The study of these hoards provides a wealth of new information on the archaeological contexts in which they were found, on the dating of many coin types and jewelry, and on the social role of gold in pre-Roman society. All these hoards seem to have been buried in the 50's BC, thus making a direct association with the historical context of Caesar's war campaigns in Northern Gaul very plausible. This makes the volume important for archaeologists as well as numismatists and historians.Amsterdam archaeological studies ;18.1385-7347.Goldwork, CelticNetherlandsGoldwork, CelticBelgiumNetherlandsAntiquitiesGoldwork, CelticGoldwork, Celtic936.01Roymans Nico800853Creemers G(Guido)1849389MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910952273203321Late Iron Age gold hoards from the Low Countries and the Caesarian conquest of northern Gaul4438742UNINA
