Summary

In "Archeology of the Lower Mimbres Valley, New Mexico," Jesse Walter Fewkes offers a comprehensive analysis of the archaeological remains within this culturally rich region. Fewkes employs meticulous fieldwork and descriptive clarity, embodying the early 20th-century American archaeological style that emphasizes both empirical observation and interpretive insight. His examination encompasses not only the material artifacts but also the broader contextual frameworks of the Mimbres culture, highlighting their artistic styles, domestic structures, and burial practices, thereby situating the findings within the greater narrative of Southwestern prehistory. Jesse Walter Fewkes, a pioneering archaeologist and anthropologist, was deeply influenced by his training at Harvard and subsequent fieldwork in the Southwest. His commitment to unraveling the complexities of indigenous cultures stemmed from a broader mission to preserve and document the rapidly vanishing ways of life in the face of modernization. Fewkes's immersive approach and his role as an early advocate for archaeological preservation underscore his dedication to the field and his reverence for the Mimbres people, which is palpable throughout the text. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in American archaeology, indigenous cultures, or Southwestern history. Fewkes's work not only enriches our understanding of the Mimbres but also illustrates the impact of cultural nuances in shaping our interpretation of the past. Scholars, students, and casual readers alike will find in Fewkes's thorough research and insights an invaluable resource that deepens their appreciation for the complexities of human heritage.

    This book contains the following four titles: 
- The Cereal Killer: The invention of breakfast cereal marked a turning point in modern eating habits, blending health-conscious innovation with industrial progress. During the late 19th century, many Americans consumed heavy, meat-based breakfasts, which were criticized by health reformers for contributing to widespread digestive issues and lethargy. It was against this backdrop that breakfast cereal was born—a light, convenient, and nutritious alternative that would revolutionize morning meals. 
- The Millennial Methuselah: The story of the woman destined for a millennium begins in an unassuming town, far removed from the glare of the modern world. Born in an era where tradition met the dawn of technological innovation, her arrival into the world was marked by a profound sense of wonder. Family and friends often recalled the unusual calmness that surrounded her birth, as if the universe had whispered its secrets into her soul. 
- Perplexing Passings: Unsolved mysteries hold a unique and enduring fascination, inviting us into a world where questions linger and definitive answers seem perpetually out of reach. These enigmas, spanning unexplained deaths, puzzling disappearances, and baffling phenomena, captivate our imagination by defying the order and logic we strive to impose on life. Each unresolved case becomes more than a story; it transforms into a puzzle that teases the intellect and stirs the emotions. 
- The Unreachable Riches: Throughout history, the allure of hidden treasure has captured the human imagination like few other pursuits. Tales of vast riches buried beneath shifting sands, concealed within uncharted jungles, or locked away in remote mountain fortresses have been passed down through generations.

    Edward Vernon-Harcourt (1757–1847) was Archbishop of York from 1807 until his death at the age of 90.

 
As a younger son of a wealthy land-owning family, Archbishop Harcourt depended on good family and political connections to make progress in the Church. He had to combine his responsibility for one of the largest dioceses in the Church of England with his duties in parliament and at court and with providing for his family of 16 children. More supportive of reform of both parliament and the church than most of his fellow bishops, Harcourt took steps to improve the training of ordinands in his diocese, encouraged the building of over 100 new churches to cope with population growth in the industrial towns of the West Riding and made some progress in tackling pluralism and non-residence. He was not afraid to stand up for a cause he believed to be right.

 
In this biography, Tony Vernon-Harcourt examines the professional and family life of one of the last aristocratic bishops in the Church of England.

    Ottoman Empire’s Greatest...

    In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the 4th century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity’s greatest empire. Constantinople would continue to serve as the capital of the Byzantine Empire even after the Western half of the Roman Empire collapsed in the late 5th century. Naturally, the Ottoman Empire would also use Constantinople as the capital of its empire after their conquest effectively ended the Byzantine Empire, and thanks to its strategic location, it has been a trading center for years and remains one today under the Turkish name of Istanbul.  
The end of the Byzantine Empire had a profound effect not only on the Middle East but Europe as well. Constantinople had played a crucial part in the Crusades, and the fall of the Byzantines meant that the Ottomans now shared a border with Europe. The Islamic empire was viewed as a threat by the predominantly Christian continent to their west, and it took little time for different European nations to start clashing with the powerful Turks. In fact, the Ottomans would clash with Russians, Austrians, Venetians, Polish, and more before collapsing as a result of World War I, when they were part of the Central powers. 
In the wake of taking Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire would spend the next few centuries expanding its size, power, and influence, bumping up against Eastern Europe and becoming one of the world’s most important geopolitical players. It was a rise that would not truly start to wane until the 19th century.
