Olivia Remie Constable


Housing the Stranger in the Mediterranean World: Lodging, Trade, and Travel in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages Olivia Remie Constable The Greek pandocheion, the Arabic funduq, and Latin fondaco were hostelries for medieval Mediterranean travellers that evolved into centers of trade between Muslim and Christian regions.

New Mexico: Images Of A Land And Its People

Lucian Niemeyer, Art Gomez


New Mexico: Images Of A Land And Its People Lucian Niemeyer, Art Gomez Internationally renowned photographer Lucian Niemeyer and National Park Service historian Art GA?mez have combined talents in a new presentation on New Mexico. Niemeyer's more than 150 color photographs encompass the entire state throughout the seasons presenting New Mexico's people, cultures, and magnificent scenery at the millennium. GA?mez's sweeping history views the state in terms of corridors, geographic as well as cultural. New Mexico's mountains, deserts, and rivers form natural corridors that migrating birds and animals have traditionally used for survival. Navigating these same corridors across the state, human cultures of Paleo, Plains and Pueblo Indians, Hispanos, and Anglos forged viable communities on the astringent New Mexican landscape. Pueblo ancestors migrated from austere environments throughout the Southwest to more inviting surroundings on the Rio Grande. Plains Indians from the north and Hispano tradesmen from the south converged via the Camino Real.... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Internationally renowned photographer Lucian Niemeyer and National Park Service historian Art GA?mez have combined talents in a new presentation on New Mexico.
