Sinopsis

"Burial Secrets" unveils the hidden stories within ancient burial sites, arguing that these locations actively shape our understanding of history. Going beyond traditional accounts, the book explores how funerary practices and mortuary archaeology offer nuanced insights into past civilizations, their belief systems, and cultural identity. For example, the elaborate tombs of pharaohs reveal not just royal status, but also intricate beliefs about the afterlife.

 
The book examines the evolution of burial rituals, the impact of archaeological discoveries, and the role of funerary relics in shaping mythology. One intriguing fact is how the terracotta army of Qin Shi Huang revolutionized our understanding of ancient Chinese society.

 
Beginning with the principles of mortuary archaeology, "Burial Secrets" progresses through diverse cultures and historical periods, culminating in an exploration of how burial sites influence modern cultural identity. Through a comparative approach and cutting-edge scientific techniques, this book reveals how burial sites are dynamic archives rather than static repositories. By focusing on the agency of the dead, the book provides a unique perspective, making it invaluable to history enthusiasts and anyone seeking a deeper comprehension of world history and hidden history.

    After the last shots of World War II were fired and the process of rebuilding Germany and Europe began, the Western Allies and the Soviet Union each tried to obtain the services of the Third Reich's leading scientists, especially those involved in rocketry, missile technology, and aerospace research. Naturally, this was a delicate affair due to the fact many of the German scientists were not only active Nazis but had helped the Nazi war machine terrorize the world. At the same time, by the late war period, the Anglo-American Allies formed a clear picture of the Soviet state. Though forced to ally with the USSR's dictator, Josef Stalin, the West came to understand Communist Russia represented yet another hungry totalitarian power, and thus a very real threat to an independent Europe. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill realized the menacing character of the Soviets from the Katyn Forest Massacre of Polish army officers, if not before, while the Americans only gradually shed a naïve assumption of continued Russian friendliness after the war. 
    The result was the American-led “Operation Paperclip” on the Western side, which resulted in German scientists putting their expertise at the disposal of the U.S. and other NATO members. Operation Paperclip aimed not only to obtain the benefits of German scientific advances for the United States but also to deny them to the potentially hostile Soviets. 
    The Western approach, however self-interested, typically met with voluntary compliance on the German scientists' parts. In contrast, the Soviet answer to Paperclip, Operation Osoaviakhim, used the implied threat of imprisonment, torture, and death, the characteristic tools of Stalinist Russia, to coerce assistance from German scientists and engineers following the war. These men yielded rich dividends to the Soviet state in terms of achieving at least temporary technical parity with the USSR's western rivals.

    Told through the stories of six former foster youth, a jolting exploration of a broken system from an award-winning journalist 
      
    By the time Maryanne was 16 years old, she had been arrested for murder. In and out of foster and adoptive homes since age 10, she’d run away, been trafficked and assaulted, and finally pointed a gun at the latest man to take her into his car. She pulled the trigger and fled. But with no family to turn to and few reliable friends, it didn’t take long for the police to catch up with her. 
      
    In court, the defense blamed neither traffickers, nor Maryanne, but Washington state itself—or rather, its foster care system, which parents thousands of children every year. The courts didn’t listen to that argument, but award-winning journalist Claudia Rowe did. Washington state isn’t alone, of course. Each year, hundreds of thousands of children grow up in America’s $30 billion foster care system, only to leave and enter its prisons, where a quarter of all inmates are former foster youth. 
      
    Weaving Maryanne’s story with those of five other foster kids across the country—including an 18-year-old sleeping on the New York City subways; a gangbanger-turned graduate student; and a foster child who is now a policy advisor to the White House—Rowe paints a visceral survival narrative showing exactly where, when, and how the system channels children into locked cells. Balanced with accounts from psychologists, advocates, judges, and foster parents, Wards of the State paves a road to reform by pulling back the curtain on our country’s longstanding foster care-to-prison pipeline and the searing realities faced by kids who may be sitting in classrooms next to your own children.
