Paperback, [EAN: 9788370527464], Universitas, Universitas, Book, [PU: Universitas], Universitas, Taking a wholly comparative interdisciplinary approach to the question of the origins of peoples, the book sees the crystallisation of Old Celtic cultures in the new light of direct links to the Indo-Iranian world, mainly of the Hindukush region. In drawing widely on materials and sources hitherto unavailable or not taken into account, the book constitutes a wealth of reference material offering new approaches and academic angles to stimulate a positive reappraisal of this often overly neglected area of study. -- Jadwiga Pstrusinska specializes in the sociolinguistics and cultures of the Hindukush region, mainly Afghanistan, and common aspects of the Euro-Asiatic cultural identity. She spent several years in Asia, between 1973-1976 affiliated to Kabul University, traveling extensively. 1985-1989: at Oxford University with several consecutive affiliations. 1986: The Airey Neave Memorial Scholarship Award, House of Commons, london. 1991: The Award of the Standing Conference of Rectors of European Universities for the best research project. 1995: Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies, Aberystwyth.
