Archaeology

[close] Do you love learning about the past? Do small broken pieces of rock or pottery excite you? If you’re an archaeologist, aspiring archaeologist, OR simply love anything and everything old, then this is the book group for you! You don’t have to be an archaeologist to appreciate the past. This group is dedicated to learning more about our collective past through hardcore anthropology/archaeology/biology/geology/cultural/linguistic non-fiction to fantastical imaginings of the past and/or the archaeological profession. Any discussions are welcome on interests in archaeology, favorite books, etc. Have fun! A word of warning: this group is not meant for amateur excavators, fans of ‘Diggers,’ or collectors/dealers of illegal antiques. FYI: It’s illegal to steal or sell artifacts from public lands.

[close] Beloved author Barbara Mertz, pen name (among others) Elizabeth Peters, died in August 2013, and this group will be a kind of memorial to her and her Egyptian archeological novels. Her delightful duo, Amelia (Peabody) and (Radcliffe) Emerson were both prone to pronouncements.

[close] This is a group for books on history from the very ancient up to the early modern period. Yes, that is a wide and fairly amorphous period. We will focus on non-fiction but occasional supplement this with fictional accounts.

[close] Harmakis Edizioni è la casa editrice che nasce dal desiderio della scoperta e delle nuove possibilità. Viviamo nel tempo dell’accelerazione, un tempo dove tutto cambia velocemente e dove ogni cosa del passato subisce una rivoluzione o approfondimento importante. Dove si sente il bisogno della riflessione, di soffermarsi per capire verso quale direzione siamo diretti, verso quale nuovi orizzonti dobbiamo affacciarci. E l’Harmakis dentro questo cambiamento si pone a disposizione di coloro che dentro questa trasformazione vogliono lasciare traccia del loro passaggio con lo studio, con la scoperta e con la creatività. Harmakis Edizioni Direttore Editoriale : Paola Agnolucci Impaginazione e Grafica: Sara Barbagli Press – Marketing: Federica Battaglia Harmakis Edizioni is the publishing house born of the desire for discovery and new possibilities. We live in time of acceleration, a time where everything changes quickly and where everything in the past undergoes a major revolution or deepening. Where it feels the need for reflection, to dwell on to understand in what direction we are heading, to what new horizons we must face. And Harmakis within this change is made available to those in this transformation who want to keep track of their passage through study, discovery, and creativity.
