Looking at an old-time cannon, most people are sure of just one thing: the shot came out of the front end. For that reason, these pages are written; people are curious about the fascinating weapon that so prodigiously and powerfully lengthened the warrior's arm. And theirs is a justifiable curiosity, because the gunner and his "art" played a significant role in American history.

    On January 22, 1879, a massive Zulu host attacked the British Army's 24th Regiment in its encampment at the foot of the mountain of Isandlwana. It was the first major encounter in the Anglo-Zulu War and a disastrous defeat for the colonial power. Later that afternoon the victorious Zulus would strike the tiny British garrison at Rorke's Drift. 
     
     
     
    How Can Man Die Better is a unique analysis of the Battle of Isandlwana, covering the weapons, tactics, terrain, and the intriguing characters who made key military decisions. While much is still unknown about the battle, this work eschews the commonly held perception that the British collapse was sudden and that the 24th Regiment was quickly overwhelmed. Rather, historian Mike Snook argues that there was a protracted and heroic defense against a determined and equally heroic foe. A British Army colonel who served in South Africa, Snook reconstructs the final phase of the battle in a way that has never been attempted before.

    Untangling the Sunday School Stories You Learned from the Biblical History You Haven't   
     
    · Biblical archaeologist unearths the riches of the historical and cultural contexts of the Bible 
    · Unveils God's Word as one glorious, world-changing story 
     
    When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories--Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks--with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events. 
     
    In Stones Still Speak, Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2,000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal God's Word in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise, this process explains how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Scripture you thought you knew, with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional, rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.

    “two ways 
    still even today 
    written on a stone 
    as the black bird  
    flies above the tomb 
    out back  
    in the field of  
    blue and berries 
    that old woman still  
    stomping on his remains 
    over a misbehaved   
    no one has to hold the blame 
    heard he left  
    her mistake 
    guess she had 
    the whole town convinced  
    till the walking dead 
    said they need the land 
    for a parking space 
    to build something grand 
    So the city said 
    almost took a bullet to her head 
    Until she realized  
    she is not better off dead  
    so she whispered to chip 
    come snow come rain  
    I shall never leave this grave 
    and then she prayed  
    as the son gave 
    her another chance  
    to choose one of 
    two ways”
