(1/4) Is 50 years a long time for a closed mine? This article discusses the continuing selenium pollution associated with a closed coal mine in Canada. Yet our researchers are investigating how pollution from mining can be visible after 500 years.

"Industry-Backed Legislation Would Bar the Use of Science Behind Hundreds of Environmental Protections"
"Most people donโt know IRIS, as the program is called, but it is the scientific engine of the agency that protects human health and the environment. Its scientists assess the toxicity of chemicals, estimating the amount of each that triggers cancer and other health effects. And these values serve as the independent, nonpartisan basis for the rules, regulations and permits that limit our exposure to toxic chemicals."

Fui jogar um #MtG com a esposa, formato #premodern, e tomei uma surra de goblin que nem com dois blazing specter na mesa deu pra evitar.
The Advanced decklists that used to come with every #Precon box are a fascinating slice of #MTG history. For those into community formats like #Premodern these can be a source of inspiration. Well, other decks can be. Probably not this one, eh.

What was the best #MTG Theme Deck of the #Premodern era? I've been hesitant to commit to doing a proper Top 10 before now. It feels so final, so concrete. Something which I will have to stand by. But here it is. Tear me to shreds.
#MacabeKeliher. โRitual in the Early Modern World: Proliferation, State-Formation, and the Work of the Manchu Surrender Ceremony.โ Journal of World History 35:3 (2024): 377โ406.
Abstract:
#Ritual permeated the early modern world. While historians have explored ritual in regional and national contexts, little work has made sense of it as a global phenomenon. As a consequence, scholars continue to give primacy to bureaucracies and militaries in accounts of #premodern state-formation. This article examines ritual in relation to early modern social and political developments, especially territorial expansion and increasing interactions. It argues that as polities contracted and empires expanded rulers relied on ritual just as much as institutional and administrative measures. Ritual was a key mechanism to do the work of inclusion and social organization in #governance and territorial expansion. In order to begin to theorize what ritual did and how it did it, the article turns to an empirical case study of the #Manchu surrender ceremony in the mid-seventeenth century. Through a close examination of the rite and its political and social background the article shows how ritual did the work of constructing and reconstructing social and political orders in the context of expanding #empires in a quickly changing world. Ritual, it is argued, constructed social orders and created subjunctives that helped political actors navigate fraught political and social relations.

Africa & #Byzantium
#Art #history has long emphasized the glories of the Byzantine Empire (circa 330โ1453), but less known are the profound #artistic contributions of North Africa, #Egypt, #Nubia, #Ethiopia, and other powerful African #kingdoms whose pivotal interactions with Byzantium had a lasting impact on the #Mediterranean world. Bringing together a range of masterworksโfrom #mosaic, #sculpture, #pottery, and #metalwork to #luxury objects, #paintings, and religious #manuscriptsโthis exhibition recounts #Africaโs central role in international networks of #trade and #cultural exchange. With artworks rarely or never before seen in public, Africa & Byzantium sheds new light on the staggering #artistic achievements of #medieval Africa. This long-overdue exhibition highlights how the continent contributed to the development of the #premodern world and offers a more complete #history of the vibrant #multiethnic societies of north and east Africa that shaped the artistic, #economic and cultural life of Byzantium and beyond.

#Premodern societies are rich with evidence showing various paradigms for mitigating, preventing, + managing population-level #publichealth. We remind #GPHW24, while celebrating + focusing on modern and global challenges, to remember the #historians of #publichealth for insight.

"After analysing DNA from almost 10,000 people from ancient and pre-modern societies, our international team of researchers have discovered six cases of Down syndrome in past human populations.
Our results..show how people with Down syndrome lived in ancient populations. Although these individuals were very young when they died, they were all buried with care, indicating they were appreciated as members of their communities"

Does anyone else think it's silly the degree to which #historians of the #premodern past try to take whatever #modern historians are thinking about, and say, "We have something very similar, just earlier"?
Sure, the premodern past is the context for the deep roots of the present, but it is also the menagerie of alternatives. I think premodern history needs not only to give the longer trajectory of the present, but also relativize and denaturalize the seeming inevitability of what we inherited from our grandparents.
