Bøger af Lolita Nikolova

This book presents, for the first time, a large collection of artworks by Dimitur Taushanski, a self-taught artist born and living in Bulgaria. Lolita Nikolova's interest in Taushanski's fine art started in 2016 with an admiration of his talent that gradually developed into a desire to communicate that talent to all fans of contemporary fine art. Fine artists are global by definition, but they reflect the time period and social environment in their work in unique ways. Taushanski lives in a social space that is open and global, as every product of his talent shows. The book also includes digital transformations of Taushanski's works of art by Lolita Nikolova.

The book includes the petition "No to Bokova for UN" and a media reflection on the candidacy of Irina Bokova, the Director-General of UNESCO, for Secretary-General of the United Nations (Election 2016). The nomination of Bokova (2016) by the Bulgarian government was against the will of the progressive Bulgarians and without a public debate between the two Bulgarian candidates - Irina Bokova and Kristalina Georgieva. This has divided the Bulgarian nation and showed how the roots of the Communist regime (1944-1989) are still imbedded in the present Bulgarian politics. The corruption of Irina Bokova as a General Director of UNESCO (e.g. overspending of UNESCO money for personal goals at the expenses of UNESCO budget, misusing of her position for accepting meaningless for UNESCO awards, and getting endorsements from people who are dependent on UNESCO) - these are only some of the arguments for why Bokova endangers humanity and the UN, and together with her close collaborator, the Russian President Putin, will corrupt the UN in a communist manner.

This monograph includes photos from two Paris cemeteries-Montparnasse cemetery and Père Lachaise cemetery. The graves were documented during the author's visit to Paris in June 2017. The public tree "European Graves for Genealogy" at ancestry.com accompanies the photo-documentary included in this monograph. The tree includes genealogy information from the grave monuments, along with links to intersecting family trees and other information about the ancestors. This is the first volume of the International Institute of Anthropology's publications of different European graves intended to assist those pursuing genealogical information.

Focuses on pottery, establishing a cultural and ceramic sequence and chronology from the Final Copper Age to the Early Bronze Age (c.4050 BC - 2000 BC). From the evidence of these, and from metallurgy, burials and anthropomorphic figurines, the author detects settlement pattern, subsistence mode, social strategies and cultural interactions.

This monograph presents a new disciplinecultural genomicsas a complex approach for studying the interrelation between genomic data and culture and the impact of culture on genomic evolution in human history. It analyzes three basic components of cultural genomicsarchaeology, genealogy, and genomics. The author explores the classifications of archaeology and genealogy as traditional disciplines and tests their peculiarities against the limitations and delimitations of genomics to resolve the problems of human origin and historical demography. The main thesis in the book is that cultural genomics as a complex discipline has been changing the dynamics of exploring the human cultural identity in revolutionary ways and the problems of personal origin and lineage. Additionally, this book analyzes the evolution of human civilization and its requirement for close integration of genomics, archaeology, genetic genealogy, traditional genealogy, and other related social and cultural disciplines. Cultural identity is the basic constructor of the progress of human civilization. Cultural genomics allows researchers to personalize human history and embed new parameters of identity from the perspective of origin. However, the success of the scholarly results depends on how well genomics is blended with related branches of the science of humanity to produce quality results. Many topics of cultural identity still dwell only in the domain of traditional archaeology and genealogy, although genomics has expanded the opportunity to learn not only how cultural identity evolved, but also to create platforms of global networks of interrelatedness that have no analogies in the previous human scholarly experience. The innovative scholarly problems that the author addresses and the general attempt to constitute cultural genomics as a leading complex discipline of human cultural identity in the 21st century connect the book to the interests of the global scholarly community and all who are interested in cultural identity, genomic archaeology, genetic genealogy, and human origin as well as the evolution of human civilization. The author of this study, Dr. Lolita Nikolova, is a globally renowned scientist who has conducted an in-depth and complex original research; she uniquely combines expertise in the fields of prehistoric archaeology, genealogy, and cultural genomics.
