Summary

Cultural Property Laws explores the complex world of international law governing cultural heritage, examining the ownership, sale, and repatriation of artifacts. It tackles the question of who truly owns the past by dissecting major legal frameworks like the UNESCO Convention, which combats illicit trafficking of cultural objects, and the UNIDROIT Convention, aimed at harmonizing national laws for restitution. The book highlights how these laws evolved from protecting war booty to addressing ethical collecting, revealing how colonialism and globalization have shaped the movement of cultural objects.

 
The book argues that the current system, while striving for fairness, faces inconsistencies that spark disputes. It provides historical context and case studies, tracing the development of cultural property law and its impact on museums and the art market. Starting with fundamental concepts like defining "cultural property," the book progresses through key legal principles and culminates in a critical assessment of current laws and future directions. It references historical research, legal analysis, and case studies to support its arguments.

    The influence of the comic book has never been greater, from movies to streaming and beyond, but the journey comics took from little-regarded kids' magazines to literary prize-winning books and global franchises turned on a highly unusual group of writers and artists. Few would have expected a small gathering of British comic book fans and creators in the early 'seventies to be a global cultural pivot-point, but this was the start of a disparate movement of punks, dropouts, and disaffected youths who reinvented a medium and became the imaginative heart of a global success story. 
 
 
 
Based on years of interviews with a generation of leading writers, artists, and editors, Karl Stock reveals the true story of the wild times, passion, and determination that helped, hindered, and saw the reinvention of comics. 
 
 
 
Stock brilliantly tells the story of the triumphs and disasters that rewrote the rulebook on what comics could be and who they should be for.

    In June of 1970, the body of twenty-four-year-old Nancy Morgan was found inside a government-owned car in Madison County, North Carolina. It had been four days since anyone had heard from the bubbly, hard-working brunette who had moved to the Appalachian community less than a year prior as an organizer for Volunteers in Service to America. At the time of her death, her tenure in the Tar Heel State was just weeks from ending, her intentions set on New York and nursing school and a new life that she would never see. The initial investigation was thwarted by inept police work, jurisdictional confusion, and the influence of local corruption. Fourteen years would pass before an arrest in the case would be made, but even then, a pall would be cast over the veracity of the evidence. 
 
 
 
Met Her on the Mountain is the culmination of former Los Angeles Times staff writer Mark Pinsky's efforts to solve the forty-year-old mystery once and for all. An exhaustive piece of investigative journalism, Pinsky's work, now with a new postscript, dissects this modern Southern Gothic tale and takes listeners on a journey to convince them that the truth of Morgan's murder is within reach.
