塞舌尔，好岛游胜过好导游

忙碌太久,有时突然会有股冲动要抛开一切,寻找一个自由呼吸的空间。心怀着对马尔代夫的向往,却莫名地跑去了塞舌尔,只因在心目中,这里还像一块未经开发的处女地。另外,实在不想像过往一样带着消遣＋消费的典型心态来打发时光,只想恣意地放纵身心,畅快地享受沙滩和阳光,也只有塞舌尔才能满足这样的心愿。     

塞舌尔:稀世的伊甸园

海风与阳光,沙滩与植物,当塞舌尔的标志图片在网上流传时,已让人蠢蠢欲动;而威廉王子和他的新娘选它作为蜜月旅行地之后,更是引无数人趋之若鹜。我也不例外,当铺天盖地的"塞舌尔"充斥在耳边,这三个字久久不愿在脑中消失。尽管塞舌尔作为世界上最昂贵的旅游地点之一,但我还是在春节狠下心,来到了这个世外桃源。     

数据

马尔代夫期待今年吸引游客100万 在以“生机勃勃的海洋和海岸”为主题的2012韩国丽水世博会上，马尔代夫推出了“99％海洋，1％沙滩，100％的马尔代夫”的口号。并通过设计精妙的马尔代夫馆展现代表该国形象的民族舞蹈以及当地传统文化。     

5月细数八大温馨蜜月地

马尔代夫:蜜月的天堂度蜜月绝对不能忘记马尔代夫,这是印度半岛西南面印度洋中的一群岛屿。由于岛上的环保政策执行得非常严格,这里的海水、沙滩一点也没污染。阳光明媚温暖,水清沙白,岛上有丰富的娱乐活动。这里的海水浮力奇     

马尔代夫:身体潜入海,眼睛上天堂

椰林树影、水清沙幼,赤足在细白沙滩上,感受马尔代夫的海天一色。泅泳于海洋里,欣赏马尔代夫五颜六色的海底世界。马尔代夫,一个让人忘记时间、忘记工作的好去处,在这里上帝允许你放纵……抵达袖珍的马累机场,走出机舱,湿热的空气热情地跟我们打招呼。在岛上的生活基本没有计划,走到哪儿算哪儿,看见什么玩儿什么,马尔代夫崇尚慢生活,我们用最简单的方式感受了最纯粹的马尔代夫。     

温岭 养在深闺的惊艳珍珠滩

台州温岭的几处海滩几乎每逢节假日便处处人满为患,比如洞下沙滩、龙门沙滩、水桶岙沙滩,还有近年来开发的金沙滩和吉捕岙沙滩等。如果想要享受清净和自然,去三蒜岛的乌石滩和南北沙镬岛的细石滩应该是一个不错的选择。而在石塘镇沙头村的老公山脚下,还有一片干净美丽的鹅卵石滩。退潮时沿海岸共有五个大小不一的卵石滩连成一片像一串珍珠项链,故美其名曰“珍珠滩”。     

"沙滩文化"概述

本文对清代后期至民国初年出现在贵州遵义县东乡沙滩村落的地域性文化——"沙滩文化"进行了集中的概述.阐述了沙滩文化的源流、学术研究、文学创作成果和影响,以及沙滩文化的人文精神.     

三十年前广西柳江出水铅钱追忆

柳江是珠江的支流,流经广西柳州市区,形成一个很大的“U”字形,并在“U”字形底部淤积成一个沙滩,叫东门沙角。上世纪七、八十年代,有不少人从事河沙装运工作,他们从挖沙船上把河沙挑到河边沙滩上,再装车运走。1982年前后笔者在江边从这些挑沙工人手中,陆续收集到不少铅质小平钱。据挑沙工人说：这些铅钱是前两年河沙公司的挖沙船从附近江底随河沙挖出来的。     

塞舌尔 印度洋上的伊甸园

正塞舌尔是我到达的第一个非洲国家,却也是最不像非洲的非洲国家。当碎玉一般晶莹剔透的海浪翻滚着打湿我裤脚的时候,当斑斓的五色海水流动在我眼底的时候,我已经深深中了毒。几天之后,岛上丰富多彩的动植物,神奇的国宝海椰子,还有当地热情的克里奥尔人,更让我相信,这里就是传说中那个快乐的伊甸园。我的脸紧紧地贴在舷窗之上,俯瞰着飞机下面的这片海,朵朵白云之下,是湖蓝色的海水,那是印度洋的颜色。墨绿色的岛屿出现在印度洋之中,周围艳丽的海水和白色的浪花、沙滩为它镶上一圈美丽的花边。更近了,那斑斓的浅滩像是它的霓裳羽衣。塞舌尔,我终于来了。     

普陀听潮

月亮升起来了,为普陀披上一重晶莹透亮的薄纱。在岛上一整天,尽管有些疲倦,却没有丝毫睡意。独自离开住处,踩着皎洁的月光,来到千步沙。海滩上只有零星的几个游人,全没有白日的喧闹。走在沙滩上,仿佛走进大海的梦境里,那此起彼伏的潮声,就是它絮絮不止的梦呓。夜色里,虽然看不到千步     

Advances in Morphometrics in Archaeobotany

ABSTRACT

Morphometric analysis offers an alternative or augmentation to traditional archaeobotanical methods to address differences within and between plant species and their remains, refining and enhancing taxonomic resolution. Morphometrics, the measurement of size and shape, and the multivariate statistical analysis of generated quantitative variables, have long played a major role in biological research, including plant taxonomy and systematics, although its application in archaeobotany is relatively recent. Over the last few decades, there has been an increasing interest in the use of morphometrics for analysing a varied range of archaeological plant materials (mainly seeds, pollen, phytoliths, and starch grains). In particular, morphometrics have contributed to the study of the domestication and spread of many cereals world-wide, as well as that of other taxa including legumes, underground storage organs (USO), and fruits (such as olives, grapes, and dates). This paper reviews current methodologies, recent applications, and advances in the use of morphometrics in archaeobotanical research, discusses its role in exploring major research questions, and suggests possible future directions for its use.     

杏开二月

已经是二月仲春了,大地柔软,天气慢慢热起来了。一场习习的春雨,浇得人心头酥酥的。我第一次注意到,家门前的杏树开了。枝干上,星星点点,挑着几朵白,轻盈得很,把薄薄的心打开,驻足美的枝头,观赏人间烟火。背后是灰灰的庭院,低矮的     

Geography in Higher Education in Australia

Within the last 30 years, geographical information systems (GIS) have been used increasingly in the training of geographers. On the basis of the philosophy of technology and instrumental genesis, we sketch how the use of instruments interacts with learning processes and outline how this can be studied. We empirically analyse students' learning processes and the influences of teaching practice in an introductory course in GIS. We show that students have different strategies for creating their personal instrument for spatial thinking and how teaching interacts with the students' learning processes. Finally, we discuss how GIS may gradually alter future professional development of geographers.     

America in Speech and in Deed

The author's primary aim in what follows is to fully articulate Chantal Delsol's critique of late modern universalism as an attempt to depoliticize the individual for the sake of replacing politics with morality. The result of this depoliticization is a quasi-pantheistic cosmopolitanism that not only effectively denies the significance of individuality, despite rhetorically lionizing it, but also undercuts the freedom of individual conscience that makes moral choice possible. Genuine political prudence and moral judgment are subsequently replaced by the rigid exactitude of a technocratic analysis that reintroduces the "clandestine ideology" it was, despite protestations to the contrary, intended to eliminate. The unhappy paradox produced by the attempt to replace the necessary limitations of political judgment with the universality of a priori moral decree is that a new set of culturally and historically idiosyncratic political attachments are surreptitiously introduced beyond the pale of reasonable debate and disagreement. Delsol's measured response is not a precipitous rejection of universalism as such but a rehabilitation of it that recaptures the Christian moral realism at its core.     

Tibetan-Inhabited Area in Deqen in Development

Deqen, honored as “Shangri La”,is located in the area where three rivers meet to form one in the Henduan Mountains straddling the borders of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet. The Deqen Tibetan Ethnic Group Autonomous Prefecture, founded in September 1957, is the only Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Yunnan Province but one of 10 in the
