Condition: Like New. LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! Like New Paperback- Very minor cover scuffing. Ships Fast.

Hardback. Condition: Good. For centuries ships were ballasted with sand, gravel, stone, or rubble to give them stability, and when they no longer needed the extra weight, it was dumped. The result was that huge quantities of ballast were shipped to new places and new continents. In Ballast the archaeologist Mats Burström charts how ship ballast helped to shape the world we live in. Ballast was often reused, sometimes in surprising ways. With the ballast went animal and plant life of all sorts, inadvertently spread to places where they are now so well established that they are thought of as native species. And it was not unknown for ancient artefacts to be found in the ballast too, turning up in the most unexpected places. This is the first comprehensive account of ship ballast, so long overlooked, and now finally recognized for its diverse and exciting history.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. After Discourse is an interdisciplinary response to the recent trend away from linguistic and textual approaches and towards things and their affects.The new millennium brought about serious changes to the intellectual landscape. Favoured approaches associated with the linguistic and the textual turn lost some of their currency, and were followed by a new curiosity and concern for things and their natures. Gathering contributions from archaeology, heritage studies, history, geography, literature and philosophy, After Discourse offers a range of reflections on what things are, how we become affected by them, and the ethical concerns they give rise to. Through a varied constellation of case studies, it explores ways of dealing with matters which fall outside, become othered from, or simply cannot be grasped through perspectives derived solely from language and discourse.After Discourse provides challenging new perspectives for scholars and students interested in other-than-textual encounters between people and the objects with which we share the world. After Discourse is an interdisciplinary response to the recent trend away from linguistic and textual approaches and towards things and their affects.
