Caption picture of background: Tribute Bearers bring horses and Equipment to the Great King, Apadana Stairway, Persepolis n by Monika Savier photos by Monika Savier The history of the world-spanning Persian Empire is im- mediately connected to the development of the Persian hor- ses. In Asia Minor and the Orient, conquering was done by horse, not on foot, from the 2nd millennium BAC on at the latest, as proven by historic finds from the Persian Elamite epoch (2400 BC to 539 BC): cave carvings and the tombs of the rulers who had fallen in battle with their horses, and who were, of course, buried together with their noble partners. The word “horse” is apparent even in the oldest of the Persian books of religion, the Avesta, and with the Acha- emenides (550 BC to 330 BC), horses were called „aspa”. The word appears four times in Darius the Great’s rock carvings at Bisotoon in Southwest Persia. (1) Other horse finds were made in the prehistoric tomb sites of Kerman, where tiny equestrian statuettes dating to the 2nd millen- nium BC have been found. The world had never seen a more vast empire than the Persian Empire at the time of the Achaemenides kings.

They rode with refined aids, using their voice and shifts of weight – usually at high speed and while overcoming their fear in the face of battling forces. Almost any writings on the subject of warfare with horses, from ancient to modern times, testify to this symbiosis of horses and riders, and to the gratitude the riders, if they were lucky enough to survive those mur- derous battles, felt towards their horses. Numerous reliefs, statues and frescos of riders and horses, from prehistoric ti- mes to the 20th century, serve as testimonies. Another just as important aspect in the use of horses, for warfare as well as for civilian purposes, was careful and well-aimed breeding, developing specific potentials of va- rious horse breeds for the respective different requirements of the times. Horse trade flourished between the various regions of the empire. The Persian Kassites, a tribe of Be- douins from the high Zagros plateau in Southwest Iran, Tribute Bearers bring horses and Equipment to the Great King, Apadana Stairway, Persepolis 62 • Desert Heritage Magazine were among the first tribes well known for their success in breeding and training horses. (4) They exported their Aryan (5) horses to Mesopotamia, the region that is today Syria, Northern Iraq, and East Anatolia. To do that, they had to ride their horses across the Zagros Mountains towering up to 4500 metres, for selling them on the Babylon markets. That’s how their horses also reached Egypt, for there is proof that the Hittites, Assyrians, Elamides and Egyptians kept horses for their respective cavalries from about 1500 BC on. During the reign of the Achaemenides, which lasted for more than 800 years, horses took ever more important functions. A stone was found near the then capital of Persepolis, quo- ting king Darius the Great as saying that “[this land is] possessed by good people and good horses“. We get other testimony from Herodotus, the Greek, who no- ted in his diary: “Persians carefully instruct their children to ride, to draw the bow and to speak the truth“. (6) His dia- ries also contain records on the extent of Archaemenidic horse Horse and Groom, Esfahan school circa 1600 A.C. breeding. 160,000 horses, he says, lived on the royal pastures in between the cities of Hamadan and Kermanshah.

  • Jorge Secada
    This page intentionally left blank Cartesian Metaphysics This is the first book-length study of Descartes’s metaphysics to place it in its immediate historical context, the Late Scholastic philosophy of thinkers such as Suárez against which Descartes reacted. Jorge Secada views Cartesian philosophy as an ‘essentialist’ reply to the ‘existentialism’ of the School, and his discussion includes careful analyses and original interpretations of such central Cartesian themes as the role of scepticism, intentionality and the doctrine of the material falsity of ideas, universals and the relation between sense and understanding, causation and the proofs of the existence of God, the theory of substance, and the dualism of mind and matter. His study offers a picture of Descartes’s metaphysics that is both novel and philosophically illuminating. Jorge Secada is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Virginia. He has published a number of articles on the history of early modern philosophy.

The following list is likewise not a comprehensive list of literary touchstones, but it is intended as a guide as you follow your own intellectual interests and curiosities. We expect that in your courses you’ll read substantially but not exhaustively from the works listed here, and that you’ll also read a number of works that do not appear on the list. Let your preparation for the comprehensive exam be an occasion to revisit the novels, poems, and plays that you’ve read closely in your classes as well as an opportunity to extend your independent explorations of the literary canon. Your professors recommend this guide as a useful map for you in these explorations, both while you are in Sewanee and in the years to follow.

  • Traces of Trauma in Post-War Polish Photography
    Exposing Wounds: Traces of Trauma in Post-War Polish Photography Sabina Gill A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Department of Philosophy & Art History University of Essex May 2017 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My gratitude must firstly be extended to my supervisor Maggie Iversen, who I increasingly believe must have the patience of a saint. The support from Tate needs acknowledgement, firstly from my supervisor Simon Baker, but also Kasia Redzisz in the Curatorial department, and Nigel Llewellyn and Helen Griffiths in the Research Department, who greatly assisted me in organising a research seminar on Polish photography at Tate Modern in June 2013. My gratitude also extends to all those who participated in the seminar, especially to those who presented papers: Karolina Lewandowska, who co-organised the event, Sylwia Serafinowicz, Marika Kuźmicz, Sarah James, Krzysztof Pijarski, and Chantal Pontbriand. The encouragement and enthusiasm of fellow Collaborative Doctoral Award Students at Tate has also been stimulating. Thank you to Karolina Lewandowska and Rafał Lewandowski, both for the extraordinary access they offered to the archives of the Archaeology of Photography Foundation and Galeria Asymetria in Warsaw for the purposes of my research, but also for their hospitality in welcoming me into their home and sharing their extensive archive of photography magazines. I would like to thank the many Polish artists and curators who have taken the time to discuss the topic of Polish photography with me: Krzysztof Jurecki, Marika Kuzmicz, Adam Mazur, Cezary Piekary, Krzysztof Pijarski, Adam Sobota, Józef Robakowski, and Andrzej Różycki, all of whom have contributed to the content of this thesis.

  • History, Rats, Fleas, and Opossums. II. the Decline and Resurgence of Flea-Borne Typhus in the United States, 1945–2019
    Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease Review History, Rats, Fleas, and Opossums. II. The Decline and Resurgence of Flea-Borne Typhus in the United States, 1945–2019 Gregory M. Anstead Medical Service, South Texas Veterans Health Care System and Department of Medicine, University of Texas Health San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78229, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Flea-borne typhus, due to Rickettsia typhi and R. felis, is an infection causing fever, headache, rash, and diverse organ manifestations that can result in critical illness or death. This is the second part of a two-part series describing the rise, decline, and resurgence of flea-borne typhus (FBT) in the United States over the last century. These studies illustrate the influence of historical events, social conditions, technology, and public health interventions on the prevalence of a vector-borne disease. Flea-borne typhus was an emerging disease, primarily in the Southern USA and California, from 1910 to 1945. The primary reservoirs in this period were the rats Rattus norvegicus and Ra. rattus and the main vector was the Oriental rat flea (Xenopsylla cheopis). The period 1930 to 1945 saw a dramatic rise in the number of reported cases. This was due to conditions favorable to the proliferation of rodents and their fleas during the Depression and World War II years, including: dilapidated, overcrowded housing; poor environmental sanitation; and the difficulty of importing insecticides and rodenticides during wartime. About 42,000 cases were reported between 1931–1946, and the actual number of cases may have been three-fold higher. The number of annual cases of FBT peaked in 1944 at 5401 cases.
