One critical dimension of this cultural revolution was a series of profound technological breakthroughs, bringing the dawn of the age of metals. Archaeologists working in the region have discovered a host of sites dating to the Chalcolithic Period (4700-3500 BCE) with material culture reflecting the production and use of copper. This survey will take the reader from the copper mines of the Aravah in Jordan and Israel where the ore was acquired, to the villages of the northern Negev such as Shiqmim, where copper was produced in household workshops, and the Beer Sheva sites, where several large workshops sprung up, and where a variety of finished copper goods saw limited circulation. We will also explore a series of cave burials, such as the hidden tomb at Nahal Qanah, where a range of sumptuous luxury goods and exotic "imports" including copper scepters and the earliest gold in the region were buried with the elite members of Chalcolithic society. Thus, in addition to reconstructing ancient technology, the archaeological evidence also affords us the opportunity to study the changing economic, social and political environment of the time. For example, there is early evidence for specialized craftsmanship, the exchange of luxury goods, and far-flung trade relations. The evidence also indicates that some members of society had greater access to certain goods than others, and that some individuals may have harnessed the symbolic power of the new-founded metals industry in order to promote their own political power.4879General4873Ancient9History1000Subjects283155Books713301011General AAS4873Ancient9History1000Subjects283155Books5039General5035World9History1000Subjects283155Books713323011General AAS5035World9History1000Subjects283155Books16004351General11242Archaeology11232Social Sciences53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books713496011General AAS11242Archaeology11232Social Sciences53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books1599500663http://www.amazon.com/Deathlands-Red-Equinox-Death-Lands/dp/1599500663%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1599500663James AxlerAudio Cassette97815995006691599500663Graphic Audio The Cutting corp.Graphic Audio The Cutting corp.Book2006Graphic Audio The Cutting corp.Graphic Audio The Cutting corp.2194USD$21.940400007 hrs. on 6 cassettes.

Regional developments and innovations in the ancient Mediterranean have been explained by reference to an Orient, the metaphorical bazaar containing the artistic opulence and social sophistication that spread to the West and changed it. "Debating Ancient Orietalization" brings together papers presented at a symposium held in Oxford in 2002 to debate the theme of ancient Orientalization. The volume reassesses the concept of Orientalizing, questioning whether it is valid to interpret Mediterranean-wide processes of change in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages by the term Orientalization. Like the ancient Mediterranean itself, the list of contributors is multicultural, and their contributions multidisciplinary, combining various strands of archaeological and textual evidence with different methodological approaches.4877Early Civilization4873Ancient9History1000Subjects283155Books4879General4873Ancient9History1000Subjects283155Books713301011General AAS4873Ancient9History1000Subjects283155Books3006821Western4935Europe9History1000Subjects283155Books15812171Civilization & Culture4987Historical Study9History1000Subjects283155Books4998General4995Middle East9History1000Subjects283155Books713315011General AAS4995Middle East9History1000Subjects283155Books16004351General11242Archaeology11232Social Sciences53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books713496011General AAS11242Archaeology11232Social Sciences53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books11289General11288Sociology11232Social Sciences53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books713503011General AAS11288Sociology11232Social Sciences53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksB00087L6JYhttp://www.amazon.com/Declinations-Berliner-observations-University-Observatory/dp/B00087L6JY%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00087L6JYBohdan ZaleskiUnknown BindingImprimerie de l'UniversitéEnglishEnglishImprimerie de l'UniversitéBook1926Imprimerie de l'UniversitéImprimerie de l'Université00000013456Star-Gazing13439Astronomy75Science1000Subjects283155Books0921820143http://www.amazon.com/Decoys-Equinox-Wildfowl-Carving-1991-Calender-Wall/dp/0921820143%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0921820143WallUnknown Binding97809218201470921820143Camden House Publishing (Ontario, CA)English1095USD$10.95Camden House Publishing (Ontario, CA)1Book1990-08Camden House Publishing (Ontario, CA)Camden House Publishing (Ontario, CA)550000001000Subjects1Arts & Photography2Biographies & Memoirs3Business & Investing4Children's Books4366Comics & Graphic Novels5Computers & Internet6Cooking, Food & Wine86Entertainment301889Gay & Lesbian10Health, Mind & Body9History48Home & Garden10777Law17Literature & Fiction13996Medicine18Mystery & Thrillers53Nonfiction290060Outdoors & Nature20Parenting & Families173507Professional & Technical21Reference22Religion & Spirituality23Romance75Science25Science Fiction & Fantasy26Sports28Teens27Travel283155Books1845532554http://www.amazon.com/Deep-Blue-Critical-Reflections-Religion/dp/1845532554%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D18455325541335630http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41vNUb2d-vL._SL75_.jpg7550http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41vNUb2d-vL._SL160_.jpg160107http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41vNUb2d-vL.jpg500333PaperbackAndrew FrancisSylvie Shaw202.129781845532550711845532554Equinox PublishingEnglishEnglishEnglish9132795USD$27.95Equinox Publishing1352Book2008-09-15Equinox PublishingEquinox Publishing1235832367USD$23.674912USD$49.12810011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnewWaaDOqvJBJvvxz4IgpkMWxXKqFVTehnD%2BQK5yuygtLdyK82YjW5WZNgybWDyt%2B8SbUF8UOLkoh0DoRhuJN6Ydg%3D%3D2795USD$27.95Usually ships in 24 hoursPaganism has often looked to forest groves or mountain tops for inspiration and spiritual transformation. Deep Blue plunges deep into sacred waters through thirteen essays by leading writers in the expanding academic field of nature religion. Amongst others, the book will be of interest to nature religion academics, environmental researchers and activists, as well as practitioners and students of paganism and religion, faith and spirituality studies and those involved in the intersection between religion and ecology. From anthropologic and mythological understandings of archetypal mind structure, through to sociological and psychological levels of analysis, academic theory and inquiry are blended with grounded accounts of experience and understanding from writers spiritually connected with water. The book aims to explore dimensions of the human spiritual relationship with river, sea and pool with a view to developing further understandings of the interrelationships between spiritual practice, academic nature religion discourse and environmental concern. Ancestral cultures invest watery places with spiritual power. With this deep connection comes respect, understanding and sustainable relationship. Deep Blue reconnects contemporary Western culture to these roots, exposing the vital significance of salt and fresh waters to humankind and making a call to arms for the development of holistic, sustainable relationships with waterways.712994011General AAS468234Religious Studies468206Humanities465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712982011General AAS465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books297501Paganism12472Earth-Based Religions22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books12667General12621New Age22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books713653011General AAS12621New Age22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books12504General22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books713609011General AAS22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksB001K2GBKAhttp://www.amazon.com/Defining-Buddhism-Critical-categories-religion/dp/B001K2GBKA%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB001K2GBKAEd. by Karen Derris and Natalie Gummer.PaperbackEquinox Publishing Limited.Equinox Publishing Limited.BookEquinox Publishing Limited.Equinox Publishing Limited.0000001000Subjects1Arts & Photography2Biographies & Memoirs3Business & Investing4Children's Books4366Comics & Graphic Novels5Computers & Internet6Cooking, Food & Wine86Entertainment301889Gay & Lesbian10Health, Mind & Body9History48Home & Garden10777Law17Literature & Fiction13996Medicine18Mystery & Thrillers53Nonfiction290060Outdoors & Nature20Parenting & Families173507Professional & Technical21Reference22Religion & Spirituality23Romance75Science25Science Fiction & Fantasy26Sports28Teens27Travel283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books1845530551http://www.amazon.com/Defining-Buddhisms-Critical-Categories-Religion/dp/1845530551%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1845530551935740http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51T76NYOfRL._SL75_.jpg7552http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51T76NYOfRL._SL160_.jpg160111http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51T76NYOfRL.jpg500346PaperbackKaren DerrisNatalie Gummer294.39781845530556941845530551Equinox PublishingEnglishEnglishEnglish9372795USD$27.95Equinox Publishing1320Book2008-02-28Equinox PublishingEquinox Publishing1196612395USD$23.955998USD$59.981010011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnewBg4iSUnHe0fVcB4TzJZP2JFykbdCKw80Dy6gv96gxZf141Foie2Ytapa%2FHV2lWWQ3Ym5fHh1Xj4xOBzjf%2F4zEA%3D%3D2795USD$27.95Usually ships in 2 to 3 weeksDefining Buddhisms: A Reader explores the multiple ways in which Buddhisms have been defined and constructed by Buddhists and scholars. In recent decades, scholars have become increasingly aware of their own role in the process of constructing the Buddhist communities that they represent- a process in which multiple representations of "Buddhism" (hence "Buddhisms") compete with and complement one another. The essays in this reader, written by leaders in the field of Buddhist studies, consider a broad range of inquiries and concerns, methods and approaches that contribute to understanding and learning from constructions of Buddhisms, illuminating the challenges and dilemmas involved in defining historical, social, and political contexts. These different perspectives also demonstrate that definitions of "Buddhism" have always been contested. <p> As an anthology, this volume also participates in the process of construction, developing a framework in which recent scholarship on Buddhisms can be productively related and interpreted. By creating a new context for these essays, this volume enables a new conversation to emerge, as the investigations and debates raised in each piece are considered in relation to one another. <p> The volume and section introductions highlight the ways in which the essays included represent the contested aspects of constructed Buddhisms: historical contexts are never singular and there is never a solitary agent engaged in shaping them. These diverse reconstructions of "Buddhism" derive from the recognition that we have much to learn from, as well as about, Buddhists.0195183274022649312114039642030520236998080475682112282General12279Buddhism22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books713625011General AAS12279Buddhism22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books12504General22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books713609011General AAS22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books1904768733http://www.amazon.com/Defining-Hinduism-Paperback-Critical-Categories/dp/1904768733%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1904768733J E LlewellynPaperback9781904768739Import551904768733EQUINOX PUBLISHING LIMITEDEnglishEnglish953EQUINOX PUBLISHING LIMITED224Book2005EQUINOX PUBLISHING LIMITEDEQUINOX PUBLISHING LIMITED976852239USD$22.39020000713646011General AAS12506Hinduism22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books12504General22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books713609011General AAS22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books1845530616http://www.amazon.com/Defining-Islam-Critical-Categories-Religion/dp/1845530616%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1845530616http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41HS4N3XVXL._SL75_.jpg7552http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41HS4N3XVXL._SL160_.jpg160112http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41HS4N3XVXL.jpg500350HardcoverAndrew Rippin29797818455306171101845530616Equinox Publishing (UK)EnglishEnglishEnglish96912500USD$125.00Equinox Publishing (UK)1388Book2007-06-30Equinox Publishing (UK)Equinox Publishing (UK)19070112100USD$121.0012390USD$123.90310011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnewdR32keucyTIY3l%2F33vpDWnqnlCRNKtUiM63ymtpOkjTALn1g3Ae6C3jG%2FEQxi0%2FME2%2B%2FfzPCPlgF8Zzz3EYjGTmSj7dSk4g912500USD$125.00In stock soon.

Ever since a group of people came into existence who called themselves Muslims, questions of what it meant to be a member of that group, who was to be included and who excluded, and what the requirements for membership were, have proven to be both divisive and defining for the community itself. Likewise for scholars, the issue of what constitutes "Islam" when they talk about the emergence of the religion or when they compare local traditions or when the media debates whether the phrase "Muslim terrorist" is meaningful or appropriate, is always a central one for debate.06911311200812977432052153934X1591023785023113499115812221Islamic5035World9History1000Subjects283155Books747400Terrorism10546Current Events53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books12526General12522Islam22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books713647011General AAS12522Islam22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books12504General22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books713609011General AAS22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books
