  U.S. Marines at the Battle for Sangin is a battle-intensive and deeply personal war memoir following a small Marine infantry detachment who arrive in Afghanistan with acts of killing beginning immediately. Not a week goes by before the Marines experience the deaths of friendly forces, Marine casualties, enemy combatants killed, numerous IED strikes, air strikes, predator drone strikes and around the clock patrolling in hostile territory where death is ever present. As a regional direct response Quick Reaction Force in the northern Sangin river valley of Helmand Province, the Marines are immediately put to the test narrowly avoiding one calamity after the next. The reader feels the author's angst, threat awareness and a growing sense of hostility toward his elusive enemy. Combat operations greatly intensify as the Marines find their battlefield rhythm. Body counts rise and so does the emotional toll on the author. The reader is regularly taken into the author's exhilarations from persevering through intense battle scenes but also submerged with him in the turmoil that results from the deliberate harm that he and his fellow Marines inflict on their enemy. There is a sober realization of the unavoidable dichotomy of war and the inner wounds that result from one's participation in its cruelty, whether the recipient or doer of war's violent actions. This untold story personalizes the broader themes of America's war in Afghanistan through the brutal experiences of a small Marine unit who volunteered to fight it.

  A new concept for understanding the history of the American popular music industry. 
   
   
    
  Blacksound explores the sonic history of blackface minstrelsy and the racial foundations of American musical culture from the early 1800s through the turn of the twentieth century. With this namesake book, Matthew D. Morrison develops the concept of "Blacksound" to uncover how the popular music industry and popular entertainment in general in the United States arose out of slavery and blackface. 
   
   
    
  Blacksound as an idea is not the music or sounds produced by Black Americans but instead the material and fleeting remnants of their sounds and performances that have been co-opted and amalgamated into popular music. Morrison unpacks the relationship between performance, racial identity, and intellectual property to reveal how blackface minstrelsy scripts became absorbed into commercial entertainment through an unequal system of intellectual property and copyright laws. By introducing this foundational new concept in musicology, Blacksound highlights what is politically at stake—for creators and audiences alike—in revisiting the long history of American popular music.

  The Valley of the Kings - Tombs...

  The Valley of the Kings, one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world, first captured the attention of explorers and scholars in the 18th century. Though long known to local inhabitants, it was not until European adventurers began systematically exploring Egypt that the valley's true significance came to light. These early explorers, driven by a mix of scholarly curiosity and treasure hunting, began mapping and cataloging the tombs they encountered in the barren hills west of the Nile. Among them were figures like Giovanni Belzoni and Howard Carter, whose efforts would lay the foundation for modern Egyptology. 
  The role of local communities, particularly the people of Qurna and other nearby villages, cannot be overlooked. Many locals worked closely with foreign archaeologists, guiding them through the rugged terrain and even assisting in excavations. Their intimate knowledge of the landscape proved invaluable. Some families, generation after generation, were involved in archaeological digs, and many tombs might have remained hidden much longer without their contributions. However, this collaboration also brought complex dynamics, especially regarding the protection of cultural heritage and the handling of newly uncovered treasures. 
  Transforming what seemed like a lifeless desert into a thriving center of discovery, the Valley soon became a symbol of ancient grandeur and mystery. The dry climate and remote location helped preserve many of the tombs, allowing researchers to uncover not only the resting places of kings but also the beliefs, rituals, and artistry of ancient Egypt. With each new find, the Valley revealed more about the powerful individuals buried there and the civilization they ruled.

  Fading Footprints - In search of...

  That summer afternoon, I had no way of knowing the book would radically alter my existence. Yet that proved to be the case. A wind that had begun to blow from a faraway place a long time ago had finally caught up with me.
  So writes folklorist José Manuel de Prada-Samper about a chance discovery more than thirty years ago of an obscure book called Specimens of Bushman Folklore in a second-hand bookshop in England.
  Part historical detective story, part memoir, Fading Footprints traces the author's journey into the magical folklore of the /xam hunter-gatherers of the Upper Karoo. Through archival research and on field trips in South Africa, de Prada-Samper reveals the tragic scope of the genocide of the /xam San by European colonisers. However, he is also able to humanise the /xam as he delves into the work and lives of researchers Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd, who recorded the stories of San prisoners in Cape Town over more than a decade in the late 1800s.
  Determined to seek out the ancient folklore tales, the author travels to forgotten corners of the Northern Cape. There he learns that many stories are still told to this day by farm workers and that, contrary to common belief, the culture and traditions of South Africa's first people are still very much alive. Their footprints may have faded but they have not been erased.
