By: Jack Humble, Golda Ferraz, Emi Nakatsu, and Kai Kang. Thesis:. The twelve battles fought mainly between Italy and Austria-Hungary along the Isonzo river were initially well defended, which proves that direct infantry and artillery attacks would be ineffective in combat with the technology of the early 20th century. . Most ancient Egyptians settled along the Nile River. The Nile River provided fresh water for drinking, food (fish) and trade (navigable river). Papyrus reeds were very useful for many reasons. . The deserts of Egypt and Kush were helpful because they provided natural barriers to keep out invaders.

There were over 2000 gods- that’s a lot more than all of the gods in all of the different religions that exist nowadays! The gods were male, or female (goddesses) and were often shown as having the body of a human and the head of an animal or bird. . Streghe che cavalcano lupi e iene, cortei notturni di morti senza riposo, uomini trasformati in animali, formule magiche in grado di controllare spiriti e divinità: ogni popolo e ogni cultura del mondo, dall’alba dei tempi fino a oggi, ha creduto nell’esistenza di individui capaci di nuocere agli altri attraverso poteri magici personaggi che incutono paura o provocano repulsione, dai quali è necessario difendersi, le cui caratteristiche vanno a formare la sfaccettata figura della strega.Dall’Africa al Baltico, dall’antica Grecia alle Americhe, le streghe hanno tratti sorprendentemente simili: agiscono di notte, causano malattie e morte a distanza, sono particolarmente pericolose per i bambini, costituiscono una minaccia per l’ordine sociale. Il mondo antico teme e disprezza chi pratica la stregoneria perché considera i suoi poteri un tentativo di appropriarsi di prerogative divine, e nella Roma imperiale la magia è combattuta ferocemente in nome della religione ufficiale. Altre culture oppongono alla stregoneria figure specifiche dotate a loro volta di poteri straordinari, come esorcisti specializzati in Africa, i praticanti delle tradizioni sciamaniche in Siberia ed Europa settentrionale o i benandanti friulani. Nell’Europa continentale del Medioevo streghe e guaritori dai poteri innati convivono con maghi eruditi eredi di una tradizione di magia rituale che ha origine nell’antico Egitto. A partire dalla fine del XIV secolo la cultura cristiana produce lo stereotipo della strega diabolica, schierata con le forze del male nell’eterna battaglia contro la Chiesa, che è all’origine delle persecuzioni dell’età moderna. Dappertutto e in ogni tempo le persone etichettate come streghe sono il capro espiatorio di tensioni e invidie all’interno delle comunità.Ronald Hutton, studioso di magia e paganesimo, seguendo le orme di Carlo Ginzburg e Wolfgang Behringer esamina la credenza nelle streghe da ogni angolazione e in prospettiva globale, attraverso epoche e continenti, a caccia dei nessi tra le tradizioni folkloriche di svariati popoli e società. Streghe è una discesa vertiginosa nelle più oscure e antiche fantasie dell’umanità, che testimonia come la nostra fascinazione per la paura e l’ignoto non abbia confini di spazio e di tempo.Signore della notte, custodi di arcani segreti, eredi di culti pagani, nemiche degli dèi e degli uomini, divoratrici di bambini: storia e leggenda delle streghe dall’antichità a oggi. Immersed in their on-demand, highly consumptive, and disposable lifestyles, most urban Americans take for granted the technologies that provide them with potable water, remove their trash, and process their wastewater. These vital services, however, are the byproduct of many decades of development by engineers, sanitarians, and civic planners.  In The Sanitary City, Martin V. Melosi assembles a comprehensive, thoroughly researched and referenced history of sanitary services in urban America. He examines the evolution of water supply, sewage systems, and solid waste disposal during three distinct eras: The Age of Miasmas (pre-1880) The Bacteriological Revolution (1880-1945) and The New Ecology (1945 to present-day).  Originally published in 2000, this abridged edition includes updated text and bibliographic materials. The Sanitary City is an essential resource for those interested in environmental history, environmental engineering, science and technology, urban studies, and public health.Winner of: George Perkins Marsh Prize from the American Society for Environmental History Urban History Association Prize for the best book in North American Urban History Abel Wolman Prize from the Public Works Historical Society Sidney Edelstein Prize from the Society for the History of Technology From the ancient Egyptian battle at Megiddo in 1469 BC to the recent military actions in Iraq, great battles have had an enormous impact on the shaping of history.
