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.

    In its voracious hunger to fill its decks and spars with the bodies of strong young sailors, the nineteenth century US Navy and the commercial maritime industry welcomed eccentrics, criminals, outcasts, and misfits into a community of the marginalized, one that held very different values and expectations than the towns and villages from which the young men fled, a community that offered a tentative refuge to men who were sexually attracted to other men. 
 
 
 
Drawing from biographies and autobiographies, diaries, newspapers, government reports, Congressional hearings, religious tracts, pornography, ships' logs, medical treatises, maritime fiction, court-martial reports, personal letters and business correspondence, Benemann provides an in-depth examination of nineteenth century LGBTQ culture as it developed at sea and in America's port cities.

    Gladiators were highly trained warriors who fought to the death for the entertainment of the Roman public. These brutal battles took place in large arenas throughout the Roman Republic and Empire, where gladiators would engage in combat with other fighters, wild animals, or even condemned criminals. The fights were often bloody and merciless, designed to showcase the might and martial prowess of the Roman world. While some gladiators volunteered, seeking fame and fortune in the arena, many were slaves or prisoners of war who were forced to fight. 
The life of a gladiator was harsh and dangerous. Those who entered the arena did so at great personal risk, as their fights often meant risking their lives for the entertainment of the masses. Even voluntary gladiators, known as "auctorati," gambled with their personal safety and social standing. They had little to no rights and were subject to the whims of their owners or sponsors. Gladiators who survived and fought well could gain fame and admiration, but their lives were fraught with physical injury and emotional isolation. The training they underwent was grueling, often conducted in harsh conditions at special training schools known as "ludi," where they were forced to endure relentless drills and punishments. 
Gladiators were not only fighters but also symbols of Roman martial virtues. Through their valor and resilience in the arena, they represented Rome's ideals of strength, honor, and discipline. Their performances were often immortalized in Roman art and artifacts, with their images appearing on coins, pottery, and sculptures. Despite the grim nature of their lives, gladiators could gain popular admiration for their ability to fight bravely or die with honor. Some even became beloved figures in Roman culture, celebrated in both elite and everyday art.

    Why are feet so hot? When Jesus washed his bros' feet, what kind of love was he showing? Why did feet show up in poetry written during a medieval outbreak of gonorrhoea? How did early sexologists convince us that loving feet is deviant? And what did Victorian lesbians make of all this?
These are the questions thrusting Adam Zmith into a history of toe-botherers who will guide the reader through the sex archives, the online forums and a millennium of art, with his trademark queer lens.
Solemates will bring to light the history of this peculiarly popular kink. From Tarantino films to Bible stories, from Renaissance paintings to OnlyFans, Solemates is the rich and messy tale of our obsession with everything below the ankle, and what it reveals about how we view our bodies and our sex lives.

    When the Soviet Union broke apart in 1991, the Russian Federation and the newly independent republics of the Baltics, the Caucasus and Central Asia engaged in redefining their national identity in a challenging regional and global context. The stances and policies towards the minorities living in these countries became part of the striving towards national independence and identity formation. Despite vastly different post-Soviet nation-building trajectories, the development and implementation of state policies towards minorities had similar relevance and importance across the region. Thirty years after the end of the USSR what is the situation of minorities and minority issues in the countries that emerged from that multi-ethnic state?
How have the former republics – including Russia dealt with their minorities and minority affairs? To what protection and rights are minority communities entitled to? Studies of the dissolution of the USSR and of nation-building in the independent post-Soviet states have flourished over the past decades. However, despite the relevance of the theme, there is a dearth of specialist publications which address the many issues related to minority communities in the post-Soviet space. This volume attempts to fill this gap by providing a collection of essays covering some of the most relevant aspects of the contemporary status and situation of minorities in the area.
