Despite these voluminous sources, the topic of work and the contribution of women have rarely been addressed.This book examines occupations involving women over the course of three millennia of Near Eastern history. It presents the various aspects of women as economic agents inside and outside of the family structure. Inside the family, women were the main actors in the production of goods necessary for everyday life. In some instances, their activities exceeded the simple needs of the household and were integrated within the production of large organizations or commercial channels. The contributions presented in this volume are representative enough to address issues in various domains: social, economic, religious, etc., from varied points of view: archaeological, historical, sociological, anthropological, and with a gender perspective.This book will be a useful tool for historians, anthropologists, archaeologists and graduate students interested in the economy of the ancient Near East and in women and gender studies. 410 0$aStudies in ancient Near Eastern records ;$vVolume 13. 606 $aWomen$zMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zMiddle East$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aIraq$xHistory$yTo 634 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 676 $a305.40956 702 $aLion$b Brigitte 702 $aMichel$b Ce?cile 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996331941303316 996 $aThe role of women in work and society in the ancient near East$92760362 997 $aUNISA LEADER 04395nam 2200709 450 001 9910789016303321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-78238-267-4 024 7 $a10.1515/9781782382676 035 $a(CKB)3710000000088864 035 $a(EBL)1375271 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001108027 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12482315 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001108027 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11085925 035 $a(PQKB)10747480 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1375271 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1375271 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10838893 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL600297 035 $a(OCoLC)877870698 035 $a(DE-B1597)637366 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781782382676 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000088864 100 $a20140303h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aConnecting histories of education $etransnational and cross-cultural exchanges in (post-)colonial education /$fedited by Barnita Bagchi, Eckhardt Fuchs, and Kate Rousmaniere 210 1$aNew York, [New York] ;$aOxford, [England] :$cBerghahn Books,$d2014. 210 4$dİ2014 215 $a1 online resource (261 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-306-69046-3 311 $a1-78238-266-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index. 327 $aContents; Introduction - Connecting Histories of Education: Transnational and Cross-Cultural Exchanges in (Post-)Colonial Education; Part I - Historiographical Reflections; Chapter 1 - History of Education beyond the Nation?

This collection explores those influences in (post) colonial and indigenous education across different geographical contexts. The authors emphasize how local actors constructed their own adaptation of colonialism, identity, and autonomy, creating a multi-centric and entangled history of modern education. In both formal as well as informal aspects, they demonstrate that transnational and cross-cultural exchanges in education have been characterized by appropriation, re-contextualization, 606 $aEducation$xPhilosophy 606 $aTransnational education 606 $aPostcolonialism 606 $aGlobalization 615 0$aEducation$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aTransnational education. 615 0$aPostcolonialism. 615 0$aGlobalization. 676 $a378/.0162 701 $aBagchi$b Barnita$01549529 701 $aFuchs$b Eckhardt$01549530 701 $aRousmaniere$b Kate$0857886 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789016303321 996 $aConnecting histories of education$93807671 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05434nam 2200661 a 450 001 9910786943203321 005 20210104163236.0 010 $a0-240-81847-4 035 $a(CKB)2670000000387352 035 $a(EBL)1244651 035 $a(OCoLC)852758070 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000918672 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11454523 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000918672 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10907379 035 $a(PQKB)10280164 035 $a(CaSebORM)9780240818467 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1244651 035 $a(PPN)176094520 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000387352 100 $a20130717d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSound system engineering$b[electronic resource]$fDon Davis, Eugene Patronis, Jr., Pat Brown ; edited by Glen Ballou 205 $a4th ed. 210 $aBurlington, Mass. ;$aOxfordshire, England $cFocal Press$dc2013 215 $a1 online resource (644 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-136-11141-7 311 $a0-240-81846-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Sound System Engineering; Copyright; Contents; Preface; Chapter 1 Why Sound System Engineering?; 1.1 Prerequisites; 1.2 Basic Electrical Training; 1.3 Mathematics; 1.4 Hearing Versus Listening; 1.5 Craftsmanship; 1.6 Rigging; 1.7 Literacy; 1.8 The Art, Philosophy, and Science of Sound; 1.9 Fields; Chapter 2 Voices Out of the Past; 2.1 Significant Figures in the History of Audio and Acoustics*; 2.2 1893-The Magic Year; 2.3 Bell laboratories and Western Electric; 2.4 Harvey Fletcher (1884-1981); 2.5 Harry Nyquist (1889-1976); 2.6 The dB, dBm, and the VI; 2.7 Sound System Equalization 327 $a2.8 Acoustic Measurements-Richard C.
