One of the greatest English public servants of the Sudan, Sir [Bernard] Humphrey Bell (1884-1959) was the second son of the Rev. J.T. Bell, headmaster of Christ's Hospital School (then at Hertford). He was educated at Christ's Hospital (1894-1903) followed by a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated BA in 1906. In the following year he joined the Sudan Political Service and in 1912 married Lilian Constance Bagot, daughter of the Rev. G.P. Dew. In 1917 he was called to the bar at Gray's Inn, and from 1918-1923 served in Baghdad, first as President of the Court of First Instance and then as President of the Court of Appeal. In 1923 he returned to Sudan as Judge of the High Court, having first been appointed CBE in that year. He was appointed Chief Justice of the Sudan in 1926, and received the insignia of the second class of the Order of the Nile from the King of Egypt in 1929. From 1930-1936 he served as Legal Secretary to the Government of the Sudan, after which he retired, and was created KBE in the following year. During WWII he served as Assistant Legal Advisor to the Home Office. Sir Humphrey Bell died in Hampshire in 1959. AN OUTSTANDING ASSOCIATION COPY.

The Exploitation of Plant Resources in Ancient Africa Edizione Inglese di Marijke Van Der Veen (a cura di) Editore: Springer US EAN: 9781441933164 ISBN: 1441933166 Pagine: 300 Formato: Paperback This volume presents a completely new and very substantial body of information about the origin of agriculture and plant use in Africa. All the evidence is very recent and for the first time all this archaeobotanical evidence is brought together in one volume (at present the information is unpublished or published in many disparate journals, confer ence reports, monographs, site reports, etc. ). Early publications concerned with the origins of African plant domestication relied almost exclusively on inferences made from the modem distribution of the wild progenitors of African cultivars; there existed virtually no archaeobotanical data at that time. Even as recently as the early 1990s direct evidence for the transition to farming and the relative roles of indigenous versus Near Eastern crops was lacking for most of Africa. This volume changes that and presents a wide range of ex citing new evidence, including case studies from Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Uganda, Egypt, and Sudan, which range in date from 8000 BP to the present day. The volume ad dresses topics such as the role of wild plant resources in hunter-gatherer and farming com munities, the origins of agriculture, the agricultural foundation of complex societies, long-distance trade, the exchange of foods and crops, and the human impact on local vege tation-all key issues of current research in archaeology, anthropology, agronomy, ecol ogy, and economic history.
