Description: Camels in Asia and North Africa by Pamela Burger, Eva-Maria Knoll Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Die Menschheitsgeschichte war und ist eng mit dem Kamel verbunden, denn ohne dieses bemerkenswerte Tier hatten Menschen in den ariden Zonen Asiens und Nord-Afrikas kaum uberlebt. Die Beforschung der einzigartigen Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Kamel ist daher an der OAW seit ihrer Grundung vor rund 160 Jahren etabliert. Publisher Description Humanitys history is closely linked to those of camels. Without these remarkable animals we could not have inhabited the arid zones of Asia and North Africa, nor could we cope with todays challenges of increasing desertification. Researching interactions between humans and camels therefore has been established at the Austrian Academy of Sciences ever since its foundation more than 160 years ago. The present publication is committed to this research tradition. This book assembles insights upon current and historical interactions between humans and camels. Thereby it is international and interdisciplinary from the outset and aims at intensifying a camel-related knowledge exchange between the natural sciences and the humanities. The here presented discussions of Old World camels (dromedary, Bactrian, wild camel) include such diverse topics as camel origin, domestication, breeding, raising and commerce. Moreover, camels significance is also discussed regarding socio-cultural and economic factors, music, folk medicine and veterinary medicine, as well as saving the last remaining wild camels. With an afterword by Richard W. Bulliet (New York), one of the worlds leading authorities on the camels history.
