Описание:

Open this book and step into the East African bush. Climb into a Land Rover with Jeannette and David and head for adventure!

Take a lion-mauled warrior to hospital. Search for singing stones and hidden treasure. Explore the rock paintings of central Tanzania with Dr Mary Leakey and Hadza hunters. Go on safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Battle with bureaucracy in sweaty Dar es Salaam. Capsize on Lake Eyasi. Witness the elaborate funeral rites of a chief, and the terrible fate of a thief. Laugh and cry as David and Jeannette navigate the rocky roads of village politics, culture clash, and survival in a challenging environment.

In Spirited Oasis, the authors described how they settled in the remote Lake Eyasi region of Tanzania after years of wildlife research and teaching. This book of illustrated stories is a sequel, about dramatic events in their village and wilderness exploration beyond. Learn what it takes to live such a life, and what it takes to leave it.

Описание: When two curious biologists seek a new home in a remote part of Tanzania called Mangola, they find adventures in abundance. They are greeted with dramatic scenery, red-dust whirlwinds, a lush oasis, bad roads, and a striking cast of colorful characters.

This fascinating memoir about an intrepid, homesteading couple tells the story of the people they met-foragers, herders, farmers, anthropologists, government officials, and tourists. With humor, pathos and vivid illustrations, they show how they survived and flourished by learning the ways of their fellow pioneer villagers....

Описание: This book is a practical guide to how to get started as a data librarian with little time, no money but great enthusiasm. Theories and Methods in Data Science Librarianship describes and extends the role of the data science librarian through real-world cases and proposes several methods employed by public and academic libraries to develop and further educate the librarian. It is a collection of the best knowledge from published literature and experts in one place, creating an easy to read overview. The perspectives offered in the book are critical, in that they are reflexive about the role of the librarian and consider challenges and multidimensionality of the librarians profile. This multidimensionality requires theories that address data services as research objects (data-management, definition of concepts, researchers as individual agents, accessibility, funding, profile and education). The book covers: how to get started as a data librarian the history and the motivations of the data science librarianship community how data librarians can close the data literacy divide library policy and data science untangling the jungle of copyright and laws surrounding data use and data protection data ethics how library leaders can support and develop data science librarianship managing data science projects and services on no budget inspiring data science projects at the public library library carpentry skills and teaching how to identify user needs and develop relevant data science services. The book will be essential reading for librarians and information specialists working working with data related tasks including, research librarians, embedded librarians, metadata librarians, cataloguers, public librarians mediating the possibilities in data for library users and students of library and information science. It will also be of interest to those working in archives, museums and other cultural heritage institutions.

Описание:

The Odyssey of China's Imperial Art Treasures traces the three-thousand-year history of the emperor's imperial collection, from the Bronze Age to the present. The tortuous story of these treasures involves a succession of dynasties, invasion and conquest, and civil war, resulting in valiant attempts to rescue and preserve the collection. Throughout history, different Chinese regimes used the imperial collection to bolster their own political legitimacy, domestically and internationally.

The narrative follows the gradual formation of the Peking Palace Museum in 1925, then its hasty fragmentation as large parts of the collection were moved perilously over long distances to escape wartime destruction, and finally its formal division into what are today two Palace Museums-one in Beijing, the other in Taipei.

Enlivened by the personalities of those who cared for the collection, this textured account of the imperial treasures highlights magnificent artworks and their arduous transit through politics, war, and diplomatic reconciliations. Over the years, control of the collections has been fiercely contested, from early dynasties through Mongol and Japanese invaders to Nationalist and Communist rivals- a saga that continues today.

This first book-length investigation of the imperial collections will be of great interest to China scholars, historians, and Chinese art specialists. Its tales of palace intrigue will fascinate a wide variety of readers.
