For the past 9,000 years, people lived and flourished along the 1,000-mile Aleutian archipelago reaching from the American continent nearly to Asia. The Aleutian chain and surrounding waters supported 40,000 or more people before the Russians arrived. Despite the antiquity of continuous human occupation, the size of the area, and the fascinating and complex social organization, the region has received scant notice from the public. This volume provides a thorough review describing the varied cultures of the ancestral Unangax̂, using archaeological reports, articles, and unpublished data; documented Unangax̂ oral histories, and ethnohistories from early European and American visitors, assessed through the authors’ multi-decade experience working in the Aleutian Archipelago. Unangam Tanangin ilan Unangax̂/Aliguutax̂ Maqax̂singin ama Kadaangim Tanangin Anaĝix̂taqangis (Culture and Archaeology of the Ancestral Unangax̂/Aleut of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska) begins with a description of the physical and biological world (The Physical Environment and The Living Environment) of which the Unangax̂ are part, followed by a description of the archaeological research in the region (The People). The rest of the book addresses ancestral Unangax̂ life including settlement on the land, and the characteristics of sites based on the activities that took place there (People on the Landscape). From this broad perspective, the view narrows to the people making a living through hunting, fishing, and collecting food along the shore-line, making their intricate tools, storing and cooking food, and sewing and weaving (Making a Living); household life including house construction, households, and the work done within the home (Life at Home); and the personal changes an individual goes through from the time they are born through death, including spiritual transitions and ceremonies (Transitions), and the evidence for these events in the material record. This book is written in gratitude to the Unangax̂ and Aleut people for the opportunity to work in Unangam Tanangin or the Aleutian Islands, and to learn about your culture. We hope you find this book useful. The purpose of this book is to introduce the broader public to the cultures of this North Pacific archipelago in a single source, while simultaneously providing researchers a comprehensive synthesis of archaeology in the region.

Whale written by Joe Roman and has been published by Reaktion Books this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2006-05-01 with Nature categories.
One hundred years ago, a beached whale would have been greeted by a mob wielding flensing knives; today, people bring harnesses and boats to help it return to the sea. The whale is one of the most awe-inspiring and intelligent animals in nature, sharing a complex relationship with humans that has radically evolved over the centuries. Joe Roman offers in Whale a fascinating and in-depth look at the cultural and natural history of these majestic aquatic mammals. From the Biblical prophet Jonah to Moby-Dick to recent discoveries of cetacean songs and culture, Roman examines the whale's role in history, art, literature, commerce, and science. Whale features vibrant illustrations, ranging from Stone Age carvings to full-color underwater photographs, which vividly bring to life the rich symbolic meanings surrounding the whale. Roman also examines the ecological and evolutionary history of the whale as well as contemporary issues of conservation. Whale is an engaging volume that will appeal to all those interested in the important role that these kings of the ocean have played in human culture.

Eskimokajaks auf Alpenflüssen?... Nun, es gab sie wirklich, von den dreißiger Jahren bis hin zum Beginn der Plastikboot-Ära. Boote, angenähert an lange schmale Eskimokajaks, Paddler, die begeistert darin auf`s Wasser gingen; einige wenige gibt`s, die auch heute noch einen Fluss damit herunterkommen... So beginnt die "Urschrift" von Lorenz Mayr. Mit seiner Faltboot-Selbstbauanleitung hat er in den 90-er Jahren viele Paddler inspiriert und animiert, selbst faltbare Kajaks zu bauen. Nach der Erstveröffentlichung sind weitere Publikationen zur großen Themenwelt des faltbaren Eskimokajaks erschienen. In der 688 Seiten starken Publikation werden erstmalig beide Bände des mayr`schen Faltbootselbstbaubuches, seine große Ferienfahrt auf dem Balkan, das Lebensbild über Lorenz Mayr selbst und das Buch über die bekannteste Faltkajaklegende im Wildwasser - Franz von Alber - in einem einzigen Kompendium zusammengefasst. Fünf Faltbootbücher in einer Gesamtausgabe. Der geneigte Leser und potenzielle Faltkajakbauer findet in diesem Werk alle entscheidenden Informationen und Anleitungen zur Verwirklichung des Wunschfaltkajaks (Band I), alle hilfreichen Praxisberichte (Band II) und kann mit den anregenden Fahrtenberichten von Mayr und seines Zeitgenossen von Alber literarisch auf große Ferienfahrt gehen und einen Hauch der verflossenen Faltbootära nachspüren.
