1896W2090London: Fortescue Mann 1896. David Simkin reports "In a classified advert in an 1896 edition of The Photogram Fortescue Mann was offering "Opaline Stereoscopic Slides" at 6d each supplied from his shop at 48 Elgin Avenue Paddington London." Opaline stereoviews are albumen prints mounted on card stock and enclosed under a sheet of glass. Mann's opaline stereoscopic views were views of London Seaside resorts hop gardens county life river scenery etc. Note: There is some debate over whether the London views by Fortescue Mann were taken by John Fortescue Mann 1848-1897 or by his son Reginald Fortescue Mann 1881-1916. David Simkin Sussex Photo History attributes them to the father while Douglas Heil The Art of Stereography attributes them to the son.

9788573028492OBJETIVA. new. Como era a Am�rica quando Colombo desembarcou por aqui em 1492 Muito diferente do que nos contam nossos livros escolares revela o historiador Charles C. Mann no livro 1491. Na maioria deles o continente descrito como um territ�rio vasto pouqu�ssimo povoado por primitivos cujas culturas inevitavelmente se curvariam diante do poderio europeu. No entanto o que Mann - um historiador com alma de jornalista investigativo que colabora com as revistas ""Science"" e ""Atlantic Monthly"" - descobriu � que por d�cadas pesquisadores j� v�m encontrando respostas para essa pergunta. E para sua surpresa o que revelam em seus artigos � muito diferente do que pensa a maioria dos americanos e europeus e pouqu�ssimo conhecido fora dos c�rculos acad�micos especializados. Mas todos t�m pelo menos uma coisa em comum: sugerem que muito do que acreditamos est� muitas vezes errado. Por exemplo Mann conta que em 1491 havia provavelmente mais pessoas vivendo nas Am�ricas do que na Europa. Cidades como Tenochititl�n a capital asteca reuniam popula��es muito maiores do que qualquer cidade europ�ia contempor�nea e �� diferen�a de muitas capitais no velho mundo tinham �gua corrente e ruas limpas e ajardinadas. E detalhe: as primeiras cidades no continente j� prosperavam antes mesmo de os eg�pcios terem constru�do as suas grandes pir�mides. Mann sabe que muito do que relata no livro � especula��o ainda requer aprofundamento e pode sofrer mudan�as com o passar dos anos. No entanto suas descobertas chamam a aten��o para um olhar relativista que evita o etnocentrismo recorrente dos livros com foco na chegada dos europeus. Por isso mesmo a inten��o do autor n�o � fazer um relato cronol�gico e sistem�tico do desenvolvimento cultural e social do Hemisf�rio Ocidental antes da chegada dos europeus. Tampouco quer tra�ar uma hist�ria intelectual completa das mudan�as recentes de perspectiva entre os pesquisadores que estudam os primeiros americanos. Em vez disso 1491 explora os tr�s focos principais das novas descobertas: demografia �ndia origens �ndias e ecologia �ndia. Considerando que tantas sociedades diferentes ilustram esses pontos de modos t�o diversos Mann escolheu exemplos entre culturas que est�o mais bem documentadas ou que chamaram a aten��o mais recentemente ou que apenas pareceram mais intrigantes. Como � o caso da nova vers�o da vinda dos primeiros americanos que podem n�o ter migrado pelo estreito de Bhering em 12 mil AC como se especula mas sim pelo Pac�fico de barco dez ou vinte mil anos mais cedo. Ou revela��o de que no M�xico os �ndios pr�-colombianos desenvolveram o milho atrav�s de um processo reprodutivo t�o sofisticado que a revista Science o descreveu recentemente como a ""primeira e talvez maior proeza de engenharia gen�tica da humanidade"" OBJETIVA unknown
