Flood-related health risk assessment: a case study in Hoi An City, Quang Nam province, Vietnam

Floods are the natural disaster causing many vulnerabilities on human beings espe-cially to their health. Floods are the most significant disaster type in terms of the number of persons affected (Jonkman 2005). Health outcomes of floods can be psychological (mental) or physiological (physical).

Keys to the gift

The goal of this book is to systemize in a coherent and clear way the main data available on Nabokov’s The Gift, from passing mentions in private correspondence to newspaper reviews and scholarly articles accumulated during the seven decades since its fi rst appearance in print, and to make the novel ultimately accessible to any interested reader without prior deep knowledge of Russian history or literature.

Письма астрофизика

Эта книга не только о том, как устроена Вселенная, хотя, казалось бы, разговоров как раз на эту тему следует ожидать от увлеченного астрофизика. Все дело в том, что поклонники и противники Нила Деграсса Тайсона в своих письмах спрашивают его не только об инопланетной жизни, звездных системах, путешествиях в пространстве, параллельных вселенных и прочих космических штучках. Они хотят знать, как относиться к теории эволюции, как построить вечный двигатель, когда ждать конца света, как пережить утрату близкого человека, изменить свою жизнь… И автор осторожно делится своим мнением на этот счет, обнаруживая не только широкий кругозор и интеллигентное чувство юмора – о котором всем известно, – но также и мудрость, и чуткость, и простоту.

Goytepe neolithic excavatIons in the middle kura valley azerbaijan

The advent of farming in human history has attracted global attention since the early history of archaeology and anthropology because of its significant impact on the subsequent development of society in a given region. The transition from hunting-gathering to farming economies was even termed the “Neolithic revolution” or “Agricultural revolution” in some studies of the 20th century. The intensive ongoing archaeological research has now demonstrated that one of the earliest farming economies emerged in the Fertile Crescent of Southwest Asia, a region that reaches from the Levant to the hilly flanks of the Anatolian and Zagros Mountains. Research has also shown that the beginning of farming was a long-term process, and thereby better termed a “Neolithization,” rather than a revolution.

Homo erectus Pleistocene Evidence from the Middle Awash, Ethiopia

The great rifts of Africa are huge pull-apart or tensional zones whose numerous normal faults often drop their central parts thousands of meters below their margins. Th e Eastern Rift forms a natural hydraulic catchment almost everywhere it is exposed terrestrially. This dynamic system of horsts, grabens, accommodation faults, and uneven land surfaces complexly overlays the rift’s axis. Shallow and ephemeral lakes form in the broken terrain, and rivers fi ll the lakes with sediment. Continued tectonic activity exposes these sediments and their contents to erosion—and to paleoanthropological research.

Mount gerizim excavations

The Samaritans left no writings contemporaneous, or nearly, so, with events in their history. In contrast to the Oral Law of the Jews, there are no religious texts through which to follow the development of the Samaritan religion and religious law. To this day, the Samaritans adhere only to the Pentateuch, and their only historical sources besides the Pentateuch are the Samaritan Chronicles, the Samaritan Book of Joshua, the Tibat Marqe, and biblical exegeses. All of these were set down in writing in the Middle Ages, and we know neither their origin, whether ancient and original Samaritan information was incorporated in them, nor whether they were based on external, non-Samaritan historical sources. In my opinion, these sources contain very little information from the Late roman and Byzantine periods, and date mainly from the Early Islamic period.

The Geoarchaeology of Lake Michigan Coastal Dunes

Key concepts in literary theory

The second, revised edition of Key Concepts in Literary Theoryhas been expanded in two of its three sections, ‘Concepts andTerms’, and ‘Chronology of Critical Thinkers, with Bibliogra-phies’. With the intention of providing a more comprehensive coverage, and so filling in what, in retrospect, now appear obvious omissions, more than eighty terms and their definitions have been added to the first part of the volume. It is hoped that the changes provide additional usefulness to the reader, while,equally, the volume has retained the accessibility, ease of refer-ence, and ‘portability’ of the first volume. Of the inclusions, themajority are drawn from psychoanalysis, reflecting the continued and sustained interest in this particular approach to literarystudies, even while the fortunes of other discourses appear tohave waned somewhat. Of the remaining other inclusions, severalare ‘formalist’ in nature, concerned with grammatical, inguistic,and rhetorical terminology that has found a renewed currency inparticular areas of discursively focused literary theory. Finally,with regard to inclusion, those concepts or terms not coveredobviously by a psychoanalytic or linguistic rubric are drawn from historically or sociologically inflected or influenced critical modes. In the third part, the chronology, around forty additionalcritics, philosophers, and historians have been added. To theexisting entries, a couple of major publications have been in-

Contemporary poetry

The study of English literature in the early twenty-fi rst century is host to an exhilarating range of critical approaches, theories and historical perspectives. ‘English’ ranges from traditional modes of study such as Shakespeare and Romanticism to popular interest in national and area literatures such as the United States, Ireland and the Caribbean. The subject also spans a diverse array of genres from tragedy to cyberpunk, incorporates such hybrid fi elds of study as Asian American literature, Black British literature, creative writing and literary adaptations, and remains eclectic in its methodology.Such diversity is cause for both celebration and consternation. English is varied enough to promise enrichment and enjoyment for all kinds of readers and to challenge preconceptions about what the study of literature might involve.

American culture in the 1910s

There is certainly little disputing that the war changed American culture enormously. It cemented the United States as the world’s economic superpower and produced the fi rst ‘American moment’ in world affairs, which arrived as American armies proved decisive in their fi rst- ever campaign in Europe and Wilson was briefl y the global visionary proposing a new world order in his campaign for the four-teen points at Versailles. The war set back the European economy by eight years and advanced the US economy by six – establishing the United States as both the world’s leading economy and creditor.
