Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Legendary Lore of the Holy Wells of England: Including Rivers, Lakes, Fountains and Springs The subject is almost inexhaustible, and, at the same time, a most interesting one. There is probably no superstition Of bygone days that has held the minds of men more tenaciously than that of well - worship in its broadest sense, a worship simple and. More dignified than a senseless crouching before idols. An honest endeavour has been made to render the work as accurate as possible, and to give the source of each account, where such could be ascertained. That sins of omission and of commission may herein be found it is not denied, but they are, it is hoped, few and far between. No attempt has been made at scientific classification or arrange ment other than the placing of the wells under their respective counties, ' Until those of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland have been collected, such a course would seem premature.

This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interlacing varied approaches within Historical Ecology, this volume offers new routes to researching and understanding human–environmental interactions and the heterarchical power relations that shape both socioecological change and resilience over time. Historical Ecology draws from archaeology, archival research, ethnography, the humanities and the biophysical sciences to merge the history of the Earth’s biophysical system with the history of humanity. Considering landscape as the spatial manifestation of the relations between humans and their environments through time, the authors in this volume examine the multi-directional power dynamics that have shaped settlement, agrarian, monumental and ritual landscapes through the long-term field projects they have pursued around the globe. Examining both biocultural stability and change through the longue durée in different regions, these essays highlight intersectionality and counterpoised power flows to demonstrate that alongside and in spite of hierarchical ideologies, the daily life of power is heterarchical. Knowledge of transtemporal human–environmental relationships is necessary for strategizing socioecological resilience. Historical Ecology shows how the past can be useful to the future.
