Free Download Ron Johnston, Joost Hauer, G. Hoekveld, "Regional Geography"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 0415734851, 1138997161 | EPUB | pages: 218 | 5.1 mb
This book urges the case for reinstating regional geography as a contemporary and relevant methodology. Much interest was shown in the 1980s in reviving, yet restructuring, the field of regional geography. The essays in this book both review that work and propose a way forward. The essays divide into three sections. The first assesses traditional regional geography and its relevance to the study of contemporary situations; the second, the alternative approaches of world-systems analysis, diffusion and structuration theory. The book concludes by considering the potential of regional geography to interpret the structures within which society operates and its claim to remain at the core of the discipline.

Free Download The Place of Provenance: Regional Styles in Tibetan Painting by David Paul Jackson, Robert N. Linrothe
English | January 1, 2012 | ISBN: 0984519041 | 235 pages | PDF | 61 Mb
"Historians of Tibetan painting struggle to establish such basic points as iconographical content, place of origin, age, religious affiliation, and painting school or style, especially when confronted by portable works that were removed from their original monasteries and scattered throughout the world. In this groundbreaking catalog, the authors locate paintings geographically using the method similar to that used for locating paintings in time. In both cases they identify the historical people connected with the painting through analyzing the portraits, inscriptions, and lineages that it contains. Then, by establishing where the key people involved in the painting lived and died, and with which monasteries and traditions they were most closely linked, they draw conclusions about the painting’s provenance and style, providing a bed rock of scholarship to support a new era in the field of Tibetan art history."
