Dictionaries

The most wide-ranging, comprehensive, and up-to-date dictionary of archaeology available. Over 4,000 entries cover the terms encountered in academic and popular archaeological literature, in lectures, and on television. Topics covered include artefacts, techniques, terminology, people, sites, and periods, and specialist areas such as industrial and maritime archaeology. The second edition is fully revised and updated, now including 150 new entries on archaeological sites, terms, movements, and people, plus extended coverage of archaeological resource management and archaeological theory. The dictionary's primary focus is on Europe, the Old World, and the Americas, as these are the regions where archaeology has become an established academic and vocational subject, but it includes key archaeological sites around the world. A quick-reference section covers chronological periods around the world, Egyptian rulers and dynasties, Roman rulers and dynasties, rulers of England to AD 1066, and principal international conventions and recommendations. New to this edition, recommended web links for over 100 entries are updated on the Dictionary of Archaeology companion website.

"Critical Dictionary" is an ambitious cornucopia of thoughts, images, and illustrations from online art magazine criticaldictionary.com, in addition to newly commissioned work.

Gekonnte Bosheiten aus den letzten zweihundert Jahren Geistesgeschichte, die nicht unbedingt Trost spenden, dafür aber das diebische (intellektuelle) Vergnügen bereiten, trefflich provokativ und zersetzend formuliert zu sein - vom Stichwort "Abendland" bis "Zynismus". Eine vorbehaltlose und doch spielerische Verbeugung vor der radikalen Einsicht in das tief Fragwürdige der Schöpfung und des Menschen.

Où l'on apprend que Los Angeles sera engloutie par les eaux dans un siècle, que la France est le premier producteur de sucre de betterave et les États-Unis de tueurs en série, que les réserves naturelles d'or seront épuisées dans quatorze ans, que nous avons un risque sur sept de mourir du cancer et un sur quinze millions d'une piqûre d'abeille, que la discipline universitaire comptant le plus grand nombre d'étudiants vierges est les mathématiques, que lorsqu'une équipe rouge rencontre une équipe bleue, la rouge gagne quatre fois plus souvent, que le gothic black metal n'a rien à voir avec le deathcore, et mille autres choses indispensables. Parce qu'un bon dessin vaut mieux qu'un long discours, Datavision propose une nouvelle science visuelle de l'information. David McCandless est le pape de cette discipline en plein essor.
