Dans le département des Ardennes, l'Histoire se révèle à chaque pas pour celui qui s'interroge sur le pourquoi des monuments qu'il rencontre et sur le sens des œuvres d'art qu'il découvre ; l'Histoire s'imprime jusqu'au cœur de certains paysages, y laissant la marque indélébile du passage de ceux qui vinrent avant nous, marque architecturale, marque industrielle, voire marque spirituelle. C'est vers cette dimension spirituelle que ce tourne cet ouvrage : à partir de l'origine de l'homme en l'époque préhistorique, il veut relire à travers monuments et œuvres diverses que l'on côtoie chaque jour dans le département, la trace de la recherche du sens de l'existence par ceux qui précédèrent la nôtre. Les religions primitives, puis celles des gaulois et des romains, de même que le christianisme et le judaïsme, ont marqué profondément le sol de la terre d'Ardenne : l'image, venant à l'aide du texte, permettra ici à ceux qui veulent retrouver les racines de leur terroir et de leur origine, de comprendre davantage une dimension fondamentale de l'histoire du département.(4ème de couverture)

""Danger, ancient legends, and a legal fight for the sacred. This powerful book ... is a balanced account of the legal struggle over an important historic site-Donald L. Fixico, author of American Indians in a Modern World" ""Against all odds and historical precedents, Nevada's Washoe Tribe won the right to protect Cave Rock, a sacred cultural site, from sport climbers. This compelling tale of cultural and political persistence explains how they succeeded."--Sherry L. Smith, author of Reimagining Indians: Native Americans Through Anglo Eyes, 1880-1940" "Cave Rock recounts a lengthy dispute between the Washoe Indians, a small Nevada tribe, and a number of athletes, supported by powerful corporations, who turned a Washoe sacred place on the shore of Lake Tahoe into a world-class rock-climbing site. The book follows the legal challenges and administrative decisions that finally led to an unprecedented 2007 court ruling prohibiting sport climbing on Cave Rock."--Jacket.

The first comprehensive analysis of a strategically located ceremonial center on the island of Puerto Rico. The prehistoric civic-ceremonial center of Tibes is located on the southern coast of Puerto Rico, just north of the modern coastal city of Ponce. Protected on two sides by a river, and on the other two sides by hills, this approximately 10.5-acre site remains as fertile and productive today as when first occupied over 2,000 years ago. Such a rich region would have been a choice location for native peoples because of the diversity in all resources, from land, air, and
