Scholars have long insisted that the Amazonian ecosystem placed severe limits on the size and complexity of its ancient cultures, but leading researcher Denise Schaan reverses that view, synthesizing exciting new evidence of large-scale land and resource management to tell a new history of indigenous Amazonia. Schaan also engages fundamental debates about the development of social complexity 410 0$aNew frontiers in historical ecology ;$vv. 3. 606 $aIndians of South America$zAmazon River Region$xAntiquities 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xEcology$zAmazon River Region 606 $aHuman geography$zAmazon River Region 606 $aSocial archaeology$zAmazon River Region 606 $aIndian pottery$zAmazon River Region 606 $aPetrolgyphs$zAmazon River Region 606 $aRock paintings$zAmazon River Region 607 $aAmazon River Region$xAntiquities 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndians of South America$xAntiquities. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xEcology 615 0$aHuman geography 615 0$aSocial archaeology 615 0$aIndian pottery 615 0$aPetrolgyphs 615 0$aRock paintings 676 $a981/.1 700 $aSchaan$b Denise Pahl$f1962-,$0859820 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457380403321 996 $aSacred geographies of ancient Amazonia$91918634 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04347nam 2200865 a 450 001 9910782712203321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8147-2282-2 024 7 $a10.18574/9780814722824 035 $a(CKB)1000000000713701 035 $a(EBL)865376 035 $a(OCoLC)784884440 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000282873 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11195997 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000282873 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10335929 035 $a(PQKB)10057847 035 $a(OCoLC)298788605 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse10895 035 $a(DE-B1597)547300 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780814722824 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL865376 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10176214 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC865376 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000713701 100 $a20060711d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPlague ports$b[electronic resource] $ethe global urban impact of bubonic plague,1894-1901 /$fMyron Echenberg 210 $aNew York $cNew York University Press$dc2007 215 $a1 online resource (367 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8147-2233-4 311 $a0-8147-2232-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tContents -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tPreface -- $tIllustrations -- $t1.

Plague Ports tells the story of ten cities on five continents that were ravaged by the epidemic in its initial years: Hong Kong and Bombay, the Asian emporiums of the British Empire where the epidemic first surfaced; Sydney, Honolulu and San Francisco, three ?pearls? of the Pacific; Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro in South America; Alexandria and Cape Town in Africa; and Oporto in Europe.Myron Echenberg examines plague's impact in each of these cities, on the politicians, the medical and public health authorities, and especially on the citizenry, many of whom were recent migrants crammed into grim living spaces. He looks at how different cultures sought to cope with the challenge of deadly epidemic disease, and explains the political, racial, and medical ineptitudes and ignorance that allowed the plague to flourish. The forces of globalization and industrialization, Echenberg argues, had so increased the transmission of microorganisms that infectious disease pandemics were likely, if not inevitable.This fascinating, expansive history, enlivened by harrowing photographs and maps of each city, sheds light on urbanism and modernity at the turn of the century, as well as on glaring public health inequalities. With the recent outbreaks of SARS and avian flu, and ongoing fears of bioterrorism, Plague Ports offers a necessary and timely historical lesson. 606 $aPlague$xHistory 610 $aPlague. 610 $aPorts. 610 $aago. 610 $abubonic. 610 $acentury. 610 $acities. 610 $acontinents. 610 $aepidemic. 610 $afive. 610 $aglobe. 610 $ainitial. 610 $alives. 610 $amillion. 610 $amore. 610 $aravaged. 610 $astory. 610 $aswept. 610 $ataking. 610 $atells. 610 $athan. 610 $athat. 610 $athird. 610 $awere. 610 $ayears. 615 0$aPlague$xHistory. 676 $a614.5/732 700 $aEchenberg$b Myron J$01048031 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782712203321 996 $aPlague ports$93703312 997 $aUNINA
