Antichità in giardino, giardini nell’antichità
The time span indicated by the subtitle of Kathleen Wren Christian’s fundamental Empire without End: Antiquities collections in Renaissance Rome, c.1350–1527 (2010), eloquently demonstrated the early origins of a phenomenon that she and many others have continued to document for Roman collections of antiquities. Pomponio Leto, probably the most avid of these early collectors of inscriptions, also collected statues, to be judiciously placed in his…
Promesses de Patagonie
The work under review is a critical chronological survey of the growth of the holdings of items from Patagonia in the Musée d’Ethnographie du Trocadéro in Paris from 1878, the year of the museum’s foundation, down to its closure in 1937. The expansion of those holdings is staggering: from 13 artefacts in 1878 to 2,311 in 1937. As the author relates the stages of that growth, also clearly presented in synoptic tables, she places the successive don…
Failure of Healthcare Provision for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in the United Kingdom
Background: Despite evidence-based national guidelines for ADHD in the United Kingdom (UK), ADHD is under-identified, under-diagnosed, and under-treated. Many seeking help for ADHD face prejudice, long waiting lists, and patchy or unavailable services, and are turning to service-user support groups and/or private healthcare for help. Methods: A group of UK experts representing clinical and healthcare providers from public and private healthcare, …

Tourism Impacts, Planning and Management
Tourism Impacts, Planning and Management is a unique text, which links the three crucial areas of tourism: impacts, planning and management. Tourism impacts are multifaceted and are therefore difficult to plan for and manage. This title looks at all the key players involved – be they tourists, host communities or industry members – and considers a number of approaches and techniques for managing tourism impacts successfully. Now in its Fourth Edi…
Bringing it back from Mexico
I cinque libri delle piante of Pier’Antonio Michiel (1510–1576) are kept in the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice. Eleven of the 1,028 plant drawings contained in their five volumes stand out for their notable stylistic differences from the rest. The authors advance the hypothesis that these eleven drawings derive from the work of indigenous scribe-artists in the Valley of Mexico. In tracing the various series of copies of them that circulated betwee…

Notas sobre la pizarra mágica fueguina
En este trabajo, inevitablemente fragmentario, abordaremos algunos ejemplos de la presencia del mundo fueguino en la coyuntura europea de los aos 20 -sobre todo en las exposiciones misionarias-, y otros ejemplos contemporneos de la presencia de representantes o representaciones del mundo europeo en Tierra del Fuego -por citar, el viaje del crucero Italia en 1924-, para demostrar la porosidad que exista a ambos lados de la lnea divisoria. En el mo…
The New World in Early Modern Italy, 1492–1750
By the middle of the sixteenth century, early modern Italians found themselves in a disunited condition. While some were located in regions and centres dominated by Spain, on the one hand, others showed more allegiance to their cities of origin than to any centralized state. Hence the sixteen chapters of this book have to address the multifarious ways in which these differences were reflected in relations with the New World. While in the north Ve…
Monserrate Revisited. The Cook collection in Portugal
While the Frick collection and the Wallace collection rank among the most outstanding of their kind, the nineteenth-century collection of European Old Masters of the English industrialist Francis Cook was considerably larger. If eclipsed today, this is due to the dispersal of the collection at auction in 1946. Fortunately, a project launched by the Portuguese state-owned company Parques de Sintra – Monte da Lua in 2006 to restore the building tha…
Geography of Tourism
Provides both an awareness of the spatial nature of tourism by means of a geographical perspective, and also offers significant critical analysis of major contemporary geographical themes and issues that relate to tourism
La Ventana Indiscreta De Sergio Larrain
La antropologa crtica de los ltimos aos se ha dedicado a desmontar los mecanismos en donde la disciplina construye o inventa sus lugares y temas. El rol de la fotografa est igualmente gobernado por los mismos mecanismos para dar forma a una visin particular de un individuo o grupo especfico. A partir de la crtica de este despliegue de la fotografa, los autores escudrian las fotografas de Sergio Larrain bajo el mismo lente para revelar modos como …
Lo specchio della corte. Il maestro di casa. Gentiluomini al servizio del collezionismo a Roma nel Seicento
It is conventional in the history of collections for those same collections to go by the names of their princely owners: Colonna, Chigi, Pamphilj, etc. But who actually selected and made the acquisitions? In this study of the Roman courts of the seventeenth century, the author convincingly argues that, within the pyramidal hierarchy that characterized the princely court down to the end of the ancien régime, and even down to the late nineteenth ce…
Anton Raphael Mengs y la Antigüedad
In the middle of the eighteenth century, Spanish art students unable to travel to Italy who wanted to become familiar with classical sculpture had to make do with those that Velázquez had sent from Rome to Madrid to adorn the Alcázar and the seventy-three statues and busts from the collection of Christina of Sweden that had found their way to the palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso. Against this background, it is impossible to exaggerate the imp…

The assignment expanded from the single water-level recording weir site near Lake Vanda to a second site near the Wright Lower Glacier together with a number of tributary stream measurements that were installed as the programme progres…

Roman Antiquities in Renaissance France, 1515–65
This, the first of two volumes, in the author’s words ‘focuses on Paris and the court, on the role of diplomats in feeding aristocratic appetite for antiques, on the development of collections, and on the impact of this taste on court art, court festivals, fiction and poetry’; the second volume, to be published in French, will concentrate on antiquarian scholarship and the unearthing of the Roman past in France. For the years between 1515 and 156…

The contribution of HIV to fertility decline in rural Zimbabwe, 1985-2000
HIV-related sub-fertility has been reported for those populations in sub-Saharan Africa in which contraceptive use is low. We use data from a retrospective survey in rural Zimbabwe and multivariate logistic regression models to show that recent birth rates and current pregnancy rates are also lower among HIV-positive women than among HIV-negative women in those African populations where contraceptive use is high. The fertility reduction is smalle…

Visitor Attitudes to Stonehenge
Stonehenge is the UK's major prehistoric tourism attraction, with almost 1 million annual visitors, one of the top 10 UK visitor attractions since the early 1990s and an international icon used in tourism marketing. However, Stonehenge is controversial; major issues are access, authenticity and interpretation, with the actual visitor experience being criticised and termed ‘a national disgrace’ by British Members of Parliament (MPs). This paper re…
Tour Guides as Critically Reflective Practitioners
Tour guiding is an educational activity that is part of the process of interpretation. Although in the past, most tour guides were untrained, guide training is now common in most developed countries. Tour guide training is an adult education activity. Much of this training is knowledge-based and competency-based, with an emphasis on skill acquisition and while this is regarded as important, this article suggests that good training as part of an e…
Zoos as heritage tourism attractions
Zoos are a form of museum.1 The main difference between zoos and other forms of museum is that zoos exhibit living objects. These objects are examples of natural heritage. Unlike other museums, the focus of much research in the past decade, zoos appear under‐researched. Zoos, however, are significant tourist attractions. There are over 10,000 zoos worldwide,2 many in major world cities and some attract millions of visitors annually. Zoos date bac…

Contrasting causal pathways contribute to poorer health and nutrition outcomes in orphans in Zimbabwe
Orphaned children have been found to be at greater risk of poor health and malnutrition compared to non-orphans in sub-Saharan African countries. However, levels of disadvantage vary by location and little is known about the causal pathways that lead from orphanhood to poorer health and malnutrition. Aggregate data from recent Demographic and Health Surveys in 22 countries were used to compare overall levels of ill-health and malnutrition by orph…

Planning for recreation and tourism at the local level
Without planning, human activities would be at best haphazard and formless. However, like many other forms of planning, recreation and tourism planning is not a straightforward process and it is at the local level that problems can become evident. Due to a number of pressures, not the least being time, local level policy-makers may be unable to reflect the complexity of the planning process. Local planners are required to react to the directives …

Das Wort Antipode kann zwei Bedeutungen erhalten. In einer ethno-anthropologischen Sicht bezeichnet es eine Plinische Rasse, deren Angehörige durch eine Deformation des Fusses gekennzeichnet sind. Es kann aber auch eine kosmologische Bedeutung erhalten und definiert dann eine Welt, in der alles verkehrt abläuft. Verfolgt man das Schicksal dieser beiden Systeme, geht man von der mittelalterlichen Bilderwelt zu derjenigen der Neuen Welt über und ka…
The Manuscript Tradition of Euripides' Troades
The text of Euripides' Troades depends mainly upon the versions preserved in two manuscripts, viz. Palatinus 287 (P) and Vaticanus 909 (V). Both these manuscripts are well known and have been several times collated. Their importance in relation to one another and to the other existing manuscripts for the study of the text of Euripides in general has been frequently discussed and is no longer a subject of major controversy. The notes which follow …
A Note on Laurentianus XXXII. 2
The following note is based upon a re-examination of the binding, the quire signatures, and the enumeration of the plays of Euripides in L first made at Florence in 1948 and checked in 1952. Its purpose is (1) to suggest that conjectures are still current about L and the exemplar from which it was copied, which cannot be regarded as sufficiently supported by good evidence to justify their retention; and (2) to attempt some further clarification o…
A Note On Euripidean Manuscripts
A NOTE ON EURIPIDEAN MANUSCRIPTS BY P. G. MASON In the last chapter of his recent book 'The Political Plays of Euripides', Dr. Zuntz, after a penetrating and valuable examination of the hypotheses of the Euripidean plays, argues tentatively that the hypotheses in L were perhaps taken from a MS. different from that from which the text was copied, and that this was possibly also used as a norm by the diorthotes of L for the correction of the text a…

Pretty vacant
As the above quotation from Wilkie Collins&s;s Hide and Seek (1981 [1854]: 260) shows, conviviality – in the particular English sense of &s;having a good time&s; described in the Preface to this volume – can be carried to excess. His eyes looked red-rimmed and blinking, his cheeks mottled and sodden, his hair tangled and dirty. He had one hand to his forehead, and groaning with the corners of his mouth lamentably drawn down, exhibited a shocking …
