Money Circulation in Antiquity, the Middle Ages and Modern Times: Time, Range, Intensity

Money Circulation in Antiquity, the Middle Ages and Modern Times: Time, Range, Intensity Review

The question as to how money circulated in Europe from Antiquity to the 17th century still remains unsolved. The studies in this volume, based on new finds and new scientific methods, contribute more results. They concern different aspects of the question, including the role of Celtic coins in Moravia in the light of the sensational finds from Nemcice, the inflow of dirhams and their imitations into Baltic, and the comparison of silver circulation in Scandinavia, old Prussia and Germany in the Viking-Age. The beginnings of coinage in Bohemia and Lithuania are also studied. -------------------------- CONTENTS: Preface / Ryszard Kiersnowski (Wilno 4 November 1925 - Warszawa 7 July 2006) / The Fiftieth Anniversary of 'Wiadomosci Numizmatyczne' / Fundmuenzen vom Keltenzentrum Nemcice (Maehren): Beitrag zum keltischen Muenzumlauf im Mitteldonaugebiet / Some Remarks on Monetary Circulation in Viking-Age Scandinavia / Monetary Circulation in the Ninth and Tenth Centuries: A Short Survey in the Light of Die Studies / The Marking of Dirhams at Some Principal Samanid Mints / Coin Finds in the Viking-Age Emporium at Janow Pomorski (Truso) and the 'Prussian Phenomenon' / Coin Circulation in Viking-Age Germany / The 10th Century Bohemian Deniers in the Light of Revised Finds / Die Muenzen des Fundes von Ulejno (Grosspolen), tpq 1009 / Monetary Circulation in Denmark from c. 1100 to c. 1500 / Coins and Coin Circulation in Medieval Finland / The Circulation of the Earliest Lithuanian Coins / Zur Interpretation der Zeugenaussage der Muenzfunde ueber den Geldumlauf in Boehmen im 16. und in der 1.

Home on the Range: The Adventures of a Bovine Goddess Review

Home on the Range is a rollicking comedy set in the heyday of the Wild West, starring the most overlooked hero in history. . . the cow. Three dairy cows-Maggie, Mrs. Caloway, and Grace-vow to stop foreclosure on their farm by collecting the reward on the most notorious cattle rustler in the West, Alameda Slim. But their adventure is no walk in the pasture! In Home on the Range, readers join Maggie the cow on location as this beloved Bossy reveals all in this moo-tion picture exposé.

Home on the Range: John A. Lomax and His Cowboy Songs

Home on the Range: John A. Lomax and His Cowboy Songs Review

Widely acclaimed for her award-winning picture books, Deborah Hopkinson presents the amazing story of John A. Lomax, the fi rst man to popularize such great American folk songs as "Sweet Betsy from Pike," "Git Along Little Dogies" and, of course, "Home on the Range."

When John was a boy in Texas, he wrote down all he'd learned from cowboys. Years later, with the encouragement of a beloved teacher, John set out on a cross-country trip to fi nd more songs for a book. Taking along his clunky Ediphone recording device, he convinced cowboys and Gypsies to sing for him and soon he had hundreds of songs preserved for generations to come.

S. D. Schindler's gorgeous art brings the West alive in this inspiring story of discovery, which shows that if you love something as a child, you don't have to give it up as an adult!

Age and uplift rates of Sirius Group sediments in the Dominion Range, Antarctica, from surface exposure dating and geomorphology [An article from: Global and Planetary Change]

Age and uplift rates of Sirius Group sediments in the Dominion Range, Antarctica, from surface exposure dating and geomorphology [An article from: Global and Planetary Change] Review

Description:
The recent tectonic history of the Dominion Range is a key component in the debate over the age and significance of the Sirius Group glacial sediments. Outcrops at Oliver Bluffs along the Beardmore Glacier contain fossil wood (Nothofagus), mollusks, fish and insects that have been biostratigraphically dated by close association with late Pliocene (<3.8 Ma) marine diatoms, implying a significantly warmer climate at that time. The sediments are inferred to have been deposited adjacent to a tidewater glacier at the head of an ancestral Beardmore Fjord and subsequently uplifted to their present elevation of ~1800 m. Evidence for post depositional uplift at the Dominion Range includes the presence of glacial-marine sediments and normal faults which displace Sirius Group deposits up to 300 m. New surficial mapping of lateral moraines and fault scarps, combined with ^3He surface exposure dating, place limits on the age and uplift rates of these key Sirius Group sediments. A series of Beardmore lateral moraines with exposure ages that range from <20 ka to >2 Ma are separated by only 130 m elevation, indicating little change in elevation during the interval and that Plio-Pleistocene tectonic activity in the Dominion Range has been minimal. Surface exposure ages indicate the Koski fault scarp formed prior to 2 Ma and that erosion rates of the semi-lithified Sirius tills exposed in the scarp are only ca. 2.5 m/Ma, consistent with pervasive cold, arid climatic conditions. Surface exposure ages of moraine boulders overlying Sirius till, and offset by the faults, are between 1.9 and 5.1 Ma, assuming no erosion and constant elevation. Models of cosmogenic ^3He accumulation in the moraine boulders, that place the Sirius Group near sea level 3.8 Ma, show that the biostratigraphic age and the cosmogenic nuclide concentrations can be reconciled only with long (>4 Myr) exposure prior to deposition of the Nothofagus bearing units. This scenario is incompatible with the observed stratigraphy and climatic conditions necessary to support Nothofagus, and indicates these key Sirius group sediments are much older than 3.8 Ma. The conspicuous faults and grabens in the Dominion Range are interpreted as sackungen features attributed to gravitational failure resulting from oversteepening of the range flanks by glacial erosion by the Beardmore and Mill outlet glaciers rather than the result of tectonic uplift.
