Synopsis

Mysterious Lost Objects explores the intriguing world of items vanished from history, examining their impact on our understanding of the past. From lost treasures to vanished inventions and missing artifacts, the book investigates the circumstances surrounding their disappearance and the void they've left in our collective knowledge. One might be surprised to learn about the Amber Room, a chamber of unparalleled beauty that disappeared during World War II, or the secrets behind Damascus steel, a metalworking technique lost to time. These disappearances prompt us to question established narratives and re-evaluate historical assumptions.

 
The book delves into three core themes, starting with lost treasures like Confederate gold, then shifting to vanished inventions such as Greek Fire, and finally analyzing missing artifacts like the Ark of the Covenant. Each section explores the historical context, known whereabouts, and theories surrounding their disappearances. By drawing upon historical sources, archaeological findings, and technological analyses, Mysterious Lost Objects offers a unique lens through which to examine human history and highlights the enduring fascination with things that are missing.

  • Mamerto Gueritz - A Country Catholic 1823–1912 - cover

    Mamerto Gueritz - A Country...

    This is the story of Mamerto Gueritz, a country priest in the second half of the nineteenth century. His is a fascinating tale, with the adventures of his father and grandfather in Spain and the subsequent deeds of his children, framing the story of the man himself.
    
     
    However, Mamerto Gueritz also offers an illustration of the ways in which the Catholic Revival in the Church of England, the Oxford Movement, spread and took root in the remotest corners of the kingdom. His story tells a much wider tale of the renewal of the Church, the revival of a glorious liturgical heritage and the search for holiness which, for Gueritz and many of his peers, was the driving force behind it all.
    
     
    Mamerto’s father had been an officer in the Royal Guard of Spain but his opposition to the absolutism of Ferdinand VII meant that he and his family had to flee. The period between the time of Gueritz’ arrival as an infant refugee from Spain in 1823 and his death in 1912 may indeed be seen as the time of the emergence and flowering of what became known as the Oxford Movement. However, it was also a time of great conflict and change both in the Church and in society. Such change was not without cost and Mamerto Gueritz shared in it all, both in the battles in London and in his country parish, which proved anything but a safe haven.
    
     
    The reader with a straightforward love of history will find Mamerto’s story a significant addition to their store of knowledge. Those who read widely in Church history, particularly that of the nineteenth century, may find that what seems like familiar ground can be anything but!  The student of the Oxford Movement and the catholic heritage of the Church of England may yet find some further insight from hitherto unreported events and in Mamerto Gueritz find also an encouragement for the work of today.

    A deep and thought-provoking examination of crisis politics and their implications for power and marginalization in the United States. 
      
    From the climate crisis to the opioid crisis to the Coronavirus crisis, the language of crisis is everywhere around us and ubiquitous in contemporary American politics and policymaking. But for every problem that political actors describe as a crisis, there are myriad other equally serious ones that are not described in this way. Why has the term crisis been associated with some problems but not others? What has crisis come to mean, and what work does it do? 
      
    In When Bad Things Happen to Privileged People, Dara Z. Strolovitch brings a critical eye to the taken-for-granted political vernacular of crisis. Using systematic analyses to trace the evolution of the use of the term crisis by both political elites and outsiders, Strolovitch unpacks the idea of “crisis” in contemporary politics and demonstrates that crisis is itself an operation of politics. She shows that racial justice activists innovated the language of crisis in an effort to transform racism from something understood as natural and intractable and to cast it instead as a policy problem that could be remedied. Dominant political actors later seized on the language of crisis to compel the use of state power, but often in ways that compounded rather than alleviated inequality and injustice. In this eye-opening and important book, Strolovitch demonstrates that understanding crisis politics is key to understanding the politics of racial, gender, and class inequalities in the early twenty-first century.
