Jesse Walter Fewkes

Sinopsis

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.

Jerusalem on Earth - Clamoring...

Abraham Rabinovich

As the guns in Jerusalem fell silent in 1967 nothing could be heard across the hushed city except the faint flutter of history. Then it started again — the rumble of heavy vehicles, the unforgiving crump of explosives. This time the sounds were of bulldozers plowing through border barriers and the demise of minefields. Jewish and Arab Jerusalem were separated briefly only by a strip of neutered no-man’s-land so narrow that a boy could throw a stone across it, so filled with shadows that it was impossible to probe its depth. What would emerge from those shadows?Jerusalem on Earth is an anecdotal overview of the turbulent post-Six Day War decades. This revised edition expands on the first, published in 1988, and includes a close-up view of Mayor Teddy Kollek shaping the city during his 28-year tenure. The author covered City Hall for the Jerusalem Post during much of this period and encountered a world-class collection of visionaries and eccentrics.
-An Australian sheepshearer who wants to be recognized as king of Judah sets fire to al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, third holiest site in Islam. Riots in the Moslem world reportedly kill thousands and Arab armies are ordered to prepare for holy war. Israeli police quickly track down the arsonist, heading off further deterioration.
-An ultra-orthodox eccentric crossed into Jordan as a young man to obtain weapons for a revolt against the secular Zionist state. He is returned and tried. Thirty years later he invites his former prosecutor to join him in a learned debate before a packed hall on the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzche who wrote that god is dead.
-Arab and Jewish underworlds in Jerusalem are the first economic sectors to join forces after the Six Day War. The police are not far behind, forming Arab-Jewish patrols.
-A rare look into the inner sanctums of the Hassidic world when street conflicts break out among feuding factions. Yeshiva students “take to the mattresses” mafia-style as tensions mount.
-The Vatican sues one of its own religious orders for selling property to a Jewish institution. Jewish lawyers expert in church law represent each side. In the end, the government aborts the sale in order to demonstrate that Israel is not out to Judaize Jerusalem. Not long afterwards, the Vatican establishes diplomatic crelations with the Jewish state.
-Danish-born Sister Abraham, who speaks 15 languages and navigates the city on a bicycle, is the first white woman to serve as a nun in the Ethiopian church.
-Israeli army reserve units maintained an enclave behind Jordanian lines on Mount Scopus under UN auspices for 19 years. Years later, intelligence officers would reveal its secrets.
- In what psychologists call "the Jerusalem syndrome" several tourists are briefly hospitalized each year when they assume the persona of biblical figures on Jerusalem’s streets.
- The murder of two nuns, a mother and daughter, in a convent temporarily suspends hostilities between the "White Russian" church in East Jerusalem and the "Red Russian" church in West Jerusalem.
-A Jewish family and an Arab family, both with numerous children, find themselves neighbors when the border barriers are removed. They would become virtually one family.

Four Chancellors and a Funeral -...

Russell Jones

The sequel nobody wants. After a decade of the Tories, could it get any worse? Spoiler – it does. 
 
Towards the end of 2021, Britain had been frogmarched into an escalating series of surreal calamities. Brexit was a disaster, the NHS was in crisis, the government was bathed head-to-toe in impropriety, senior Tories were still acting as though the public purse was their personal feed-trough, and the air crackled with anger about PartyGate. All of which led to an inglorious start to 2022: the year the UK saw two monarchs, three prime ministers and four chancellors. 
 
From Boris Johnson, who crashed our international reputation and handed billions to his mates so they could ineptly fight a pandemic while he stayed at home, shagging and acting as a super-spreader; to Liz Truss, a drive-by prime minister who managed to kill off the queen and crash the economy in a single week. And now we’re led by Rishi Sunak, who doesn’t know how to use a credit card, drives a pretend car, and grinningly promises even more poverty. 
 
Four Chancellors and a Funeral delivers more of Russell Jones’s signature scathing wit, combining a detailed historical record of 2021 and 2022, with acerbic commentary, all of it leavened by jokes at the seemingly endless maelstrom of failures, nincompoops and hypocrisies.

Puzzles and Conundrums - The...

John Harpoon

This book is a bundle of several titles which are: 
- Dawn's Dilemma: Waking up in the morning is supposed to be a fresh start—a chance to begin anew, to seize the day. But for many, it is instead a moment of resistance, a time when the comfort of the bed feels more appealing than the promise of a productive day ahead. This paradox, where the desire to be productive and successful clashes with the reluctance to rise from sleep, is at the heart of what I call the "Awakening Paradox." 
- The Ultimate Enigma: The story of this enigma begins with a seemingly ordinary event that spiraled into an extraordinary mystery, captivating the minds of people across the globe. What started as an unexplained disappearance soon transformed into one of the most perplexing and widely discussed mysteries in recorded history. The vanishing of this individual—or object, depending on the version of the story one hears—left behind only traces of confusion, a scattering of evidence, and no clear answers. 
- The Emperor's Edge: Napoleon Bonaparte's journey from a modest Corsican background to one of history's greatest military leaders is nothing short of remarkable. Born on August 15, 1769, in Ajaccio, Corsica, a French territory that had only recently been acquired from the Genoese, Napoleon’s early years were shaped by the turbulent political climate of his homeland.  
- The Shadow Agents: Covert operations are a cornerstone of modern intelligence and national security strategies. They are defined by their secrecy and the fact that they are often conducted in a manner that prevents any overt acknowledgment of their existence. In essence, covert operations are activities undertaken by government agencies, intelligence services, or other organizations to influence events or gather information while keeping their involvement hidden from the public eye.

A Relational Response to Climate...

Calum Samuelson

About Relationships and Climate ChangeThe challenge of climate change is one of the defining issues the world is facing at the start of the 2020s. It has mobilised a whole new generation of social activists, some of whom are going to extreme lengths to confront the public and especially political leaders with the threat that climate change makes to their future and the planet as a whole.Arguments about the causes of climate change are usually underpinned by the assumption that more human beings living on the planet are inevitably bad for the environment and climate. However, a careful biblical reflection on these issues yields a more nuanced and hopeful view, and this report seeks to stimulate fresh conversations about how best to respond to Climate Change now and in the future.
