Condición: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La división estructural en libros base y monografías referidas a hechos cruciales para la interpretación de la historia de los pueblos ( conflictos, desarrollo social, cultural y tecnológico, vida cotidiana, pensamiento ) permite tanto la comprensión global de la historia de la humanidad, como la profundización sobre determinados acontecimientos o aspectos generalmente ignorados en los manuales al uso. Los estudiantes encuentran así una forma atractiva y unas amplias posibilidades de su aplicación al estudio de las múltiples facetas del devenir histórico y de las diferencias culturales y sociales. Se combinan así los grandes acontecimientos históricos con aspectos referidos a la vida cotidiana, al pensamiento o a los avances tecnológicos. Se ofrece de este modo una pluralidad de recursos para la investigación individual o colectiva, y para el desarrollo de actividades sobre temas que, a su vez, relacionan la historia del pasado para la comprensión del mundo actual. Todos los libros de esta colección contienen abundantes ilustraciones, esquemas, mapas y gráficos aclaratorios de los textos, y han sido diseñados en un formato especialmente adecuado para la consulta y el trabajo de los alumnos y alumnas *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condición: Nuevo. ¿Qué se esconde detrás del nombre de Homero? Los antiguos, que no dudaron de su existencia, le consagraron numerosas biografías, según las cuales Homero habría muerto de desesperación, no habiendo resuelto un enigma que le habían propuesto unos niños, como si su muerte simbolizase la vanidad de toda ciencia.Para los historiadores actuales, Homero sigue siendo un enigma. La época en que fueron compuestas la Ilíada y la Odisea es, sin embargo, cada vez mejor conocida gracias al progreso de la arqueología. Es probable que las dos epopeyas se deban a dos autores diferentes. Inspirándose en tradiciones orales que remontan a la civilización micénica, que les habían sido transmitidas por generaciones de bardos, las adaptaron al espíritu de su público olvidándose en ocasiones del sentido que habían tenido en origen.Construido a la manera de una entrevista, este libro traza la génesis de los poemas homéricos y nos invita a releerlos reponiendo estos episodios en la historia de la Grecia antigua. Muestra, particularmente, que la sociedad y la civilización material descritas en la Ilíada y en la Odisea son casi las mismas, mientras que la función de los dioses y la ideología real divergen profundamente. A su manera, los poemas homéricos son buenos testimonios históricos, incluso pudiendo dudar de los acontecimientos que narran: es absurdo buscar el olivo de Itaca a la sombra del cual Ulises conversó con Atenea, pero la familiaridad del héroe y de la diosa nos aporta una información precisa sobre las mentalidades.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. WINNER, Prize for Australian History in the Prime Minister's Literary Awards 2012WINNER, History Book Award in the Queensland Literary Awards 2012 WINNER, Victorian Prize for Literature 2012 WINNER, ACT Book of the Year 2012Across Australia, early Europeans commented again and again that the land looked like a park. With extensive grassy patches and pathways, open woodlands and abundant wildlife, it evoked a country estate in England. Bill Gammage has discovered this was because Aboriginal people managed the land in a far more systematic and scientific fashion than we have ever realised.For over a decade, Gammage has examined written and visual records of the Australian landscape. He has uncovered an extraordinarily complex system of land management using fire and the life cycles of native plants to ensure plentiful wildlife and plant foods throughout the year. We know Aboriginal people spent far less time and effort than Europeans in securing food and shelter, and now we know how they did it.With details of land-management strategies from around Australia, The Biggest Estate on Earth rewrites the history of this continent, with huge implications for us today. Once Aboriginal people were no longer able to tend their country, it became overgrown and vulnerable to the hugely damaging bushfires we now experience. And what we think of as virgin bush in a national park is nothing of the kind. 'This bold book, with its lucid prose and vivid illustrations, will be discussed for years to come.' - Geoffrey Blainey, Australian Book Review The bestselling history that explodes the myth that pre-settlement Australia was an untamed wilderness revealing the complex, country-wide systems of land management used by Aboriginal people.
