Synopsis

Artifact Documentation explores how societies have transformed fragmented objects into historical narratives, emphasizing the evolution of cataloging, preservation, and analysis techniques. The book highlights that artifact documentation is not a neutral process but is shaped by ever-changing social, political, and scientific paradigms. For example, early documentation methods often lacked standardization, leading to inconsistencies, while later scientific advancements like radiocarbon dating revolutionized our understanding of past societies. The book uniquely focuses on the intellectual history of these practices, revealing how they have influenced our understanding of the past.

 
The book begins by introducing core concepts, such as archaeological context and provenance, then examines the historical development of cataloging and preservation. It covers museum collections, standardized recording systems, and scientific conservation methods, divided into chapters that explore specific periods and geographical regions.

 
Finally, the book considers the impact of artifact analysis on historical interpretation and concludes with current challenges and future directions, including the role of digital technologies and ethical considerations in managing cultural heritage.

Deep Reading - Practices to...

Rachel B. Griffis, Julie Ooms,...

Arlin G. Meyer Book Award Winner 
 
Christianity Today 2025 Book Award Finalist (Culture, Poetry, and the Arts) 
 
"Show[s] how deep reading habits help us manage distraction and bring about individual and communal flourishing."--Christianity Today 
 
This book helps readers develop practices that will result in deep, formative, and faithful reading so they can contribute to the flourishing of their communities and cultivate their own spiritual and intellectual depth.  
 
The authors present reading as a remedy for three prevalent cultural vices--distraction, hostility, and consumerism--that impact the possibility of formative reading. Informed by James K. A. Smith's work on "the spiritual power of habit," Deep Reading provides resources for engaging in formative and culturally subversive reading practices that teach readers how to resist vices, love virtue, and desire the good. 
 
Rather than emphasizing the spiritual benefits of reading specific texts such as Dante's Divine Comedy or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the authors focus on the practice of reading itself. They examine practices many teachers, students, and avid readers employ--such as reading lists, reading logs, and discussion--and demonstrate how such practices can be more effectively and intentionally harnessed to result in deep reading. The practices apply to any work that is meant to be read deeply.

China's Foreign Policy...

Tim Nicholas Ruhlig

Throughout the post–Mao reform era, China has championed the principle of sovereign state control, which holds that states should not intervene in the affairs of other states. Yet as Tim Nicholas Rühlig argues in China's Foreign Policy Contradictions, in recent years they have not actually acted this way. Chinese foreign policy actions fail to match up with official rhetoric, and these inconsistencies—in combination with China's growing power—will have dramatic effects on the future shape of international order. 
 
 
 
To explain these contradictions, Rühlig draws from in-depth interviews with party-state officials to explain the foreign policy dynamics and processes of the normally opaque Chinese party-state. He demonstrates how different sources of the Chinese Communist Party's domestic legitimacy compete within the complex and highly fragmented Chinese party-state, resulting in contradictory foreign policies. He focuses on three issue areas: international human rights law and "responsibility to protect" (R2P); China's role in World Trade Organization (WTO) policymaking; and China's evolving relationship with Hong Kong. 
 
 
 
In this work, Rühlig shows not only why China's foreign policy is so inconsistent, but why it is likely to contribute to a more particularistic, plural, and fragmented international order in the years to come.
