Yet, in order to meet the demands of large-scale construction projects, sand mining is stripping beaches and dunes, destroying environments, and exploiting labor in the process. The authors of Vanishing Sands track the devastating impact of legal and illegal sand mining over the past twenty years, ranging from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to South America and the eastern United States. They show how sand mining has reached crisis levels: beach, dune, and river ecosystems are in danger of being lost forever, while organized crime groups use deadly force to protect their illegal mining operations. Calling for immediate and widespread resistance to sand mining, the authors demonstrate that its cessation is paramount for saving beaches, dunes, and associated environments, plus lives and tourism economies everywhere."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aSand and gravel mines and mining$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aCoasts$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aSea level$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aBeaches$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aSeashore ecology 606 $aMines and mineral resources$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aSand and gravel mines and mining$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aCoasts$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aSea level$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aBeaches$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aSeashore ecology. 615 0$aMines and mineral resources$xEnvironmental aspects. 676 $a577.69/9 700 $aPilkey$b Orrin H.$f1934-$01099586 702 $aLongo$b Norma J.$f1943- 702 $aNeal$b William J. 702 $aRangel-Buitrago$b Nelson 702 $aPilkey$b Keith C.$f1965- 702 $aHayes$b Hannah L. 801 0$bNcD 801 1$bNcD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910747001203321 996 $aVanishing sands$93570018 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04677nam 2200601 450 001 9910821639803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a3-11-053727-3 010 $a3-11-053877-6 024 7 $a10.1515/9783110538779 035 $a(CKB)4340000000203623 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5049517 035 $a(DE-B1597)478856 035 $a(OCoLC)1004874786 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783110538779 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5049517 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11443164 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL1036843 035 $a(OCoLC)1004544759 035 $a(PPN)219912009 035 $a(EXLCZ)994340000000203623 100 $a20171016h20172017 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 00$aClassification from antiquity to modern times $esources, methods, and theories from an interdisciplinary perspective /$fedited by Tanja Pommerening and Walter Bisang 210 1$aBerlin, [Germany] ;$aBoston, [Massachusetts] :$cDe Gruyter,$d2017. 210 4$d©2017 215 $a1 online resource (350 pages) $cillustrations 311 $a3-11-053612-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tPreface -- $tContents -- $tClassification and Categorization through Time -- $tCategorization and Explanation of the World in Hesiod?s Theogony -- $tWhat is a horse?

Daraus ergibt sich die Unterscheidung zwischen universellen und spezifischen Konzepten. Universell meint dabei weniger etwas, das überall und stets vorhanden ist, als vielmehr etwas, das zeitlich und räumlich bei vergleichbaren Voraussetzungen unabhängig entstehen kann. Der Band greift Phänomene der Klassifizierung und Kategorisierung in alten und modernen Kulturen auf. Im Vordergrund steht eine Gesamtschau der kulturellen Praktiken, wie Individuen und soziale Gruppen sich ihre Welt aufteilen und welche kognitiven Systeme dabei gruppenübergreifend wirksam werden. Wie kann man Klassifizierungen und Kategorisierungen auf der Ebene von Schrift, Sprache, Abbild und Frames fassen? Gibt es Hierarchisierungen? Werden differierende Klassifizierungssysteme in verschiedenen sozialen Gruppierungen bzw. in unterschiedlichen Medien sichtbar? Altertumswissenschaftler, Anthropologen, Linguisten u.a. gewinnen durch eine synchron und diachron vergleichende Perspektive Methoden zur Rückgewinnung früher Konzepte von Mensch und Natur. 330 $aThe volume presents phenomena of classification and categorisation in ancient and modern cultures and provides an overview of how cultural practices and cognitive systems interact when individuals or larger groups conceptually organize their world. Scientists of antiquity studies, anthropologists, linguists etc. will find methods to reconstruct early concepts of men and nature from a synchronic and diachronic comparative perspective. 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of 606 $aInformation organization 606 $aCategories (Philosophy) 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of. 615 0$aInformation organization. 615 0$aCategories (Philosophy) 676 $a001.01/2 686 $aAK 22900$qBVB$2rvk 702 $aPommerening$b Tanja 702 $aBisang$b Walter 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821639803321 996 $aClassification from antiquity to modern times$94079077 997 $aUNINA
