Synopsis

Buffalo Hide Processing explores the intricate relationship between Indigenous peoples and the American bison, focusing on the sophisticated and sustainable technology of hide preparation. It highlights how processing buffalo hides was not just a practical skill, but a deeply cultural and spiritual practice. The book reveals that the tanning process, involving physical and chemical transformations, produced a diverse range of vital products, from clothing and shelter to tools and ceremonial objects.

 
The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on ethnographic accounts, archaeological findings, and historical records to present a holistic view. It challenges conventional understandings of technology by showcasing Indigenous ecological knowledge and sustainable resource management. Buffalo Hide Processing begins by establishing the historical context and then systematically details each step of hide preparation, before exploring the diverse applications and cultural significance of the resulting materials. The book emphasizes how the sophisticated methods employed by Indigenous communities reflect a profound understanding of both the environment and material culture.

    In the wake of the blockbuster television success of "Dancing with the Stars," competitive ballroom dance has become a subject of new fascination—and renewed scrutiny. Known by its practitioners as DanceSport, ballroom is a significant dance form and a fascinating cultural phenomenon. In this first in-depth study of the sport, dancer and dance historian Juliet McMains explores the "Glamour Machine" that drives the thriving industry, delving into both the pleasures and perils of its seductions. She further explores the broader social issues invoked in American DanceSport: representation of "Latin," economics that often foster inequality, and issues of identity, including gender, race, class, and sexuality. Putting ballroom dance in the larger contexts of culture and history, Glamour Addiction makes an important contribution to dance studies, while giving new and veteran enthusiasts a unique and unprecedented glimpse behind the scenes.

    Babylon and Nineveh: The History...

    Today, Babylon has become a byword for greed, excess, and licentiousness, mostly due to its mention in the Bible, but a closer examination reveals that Babylon was so much more, and even perhaps the most important city in the ancient world. Ancient Babylon was home to great dynasties that produced some of the world’s most influential leaders, most notably Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar, and these rulers invoked their wills on the entire ancient Near East and have been remembered as both progressive and cruel all at the same time. Babylon was also the seat of culture in ancient Mesopotamia and the place where scholars made amazing scientific advances that would not be eclipsed for several centuries. An examination of ancient Babylon demonstrates that it was truly the first great city in the ancient world. 
    Of course, the sheer span of history between Babylon’s power and today has produced plenty of historical questions and controversy. One of the things people most closely associate Babylon with is the Hanging Gardens, which, like the Great Pyramid of Giza, were considered both a technological marvel and an aesthetic masterpiece. Babylon was also instrumental in the development of the region’s religions, which continue to captivate people. 
    When Nineveh was at its height, the rulers of the city controlled an empire that encompassed Egypt, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and parts of Iran. Eventually, the Assyrians overextended themselves and their enemies overthrew them and destroyed much of their cities. Nineveh became lost for centuries, only mentioned in fragments by classical Greek historians, but modern archaeological methods were able to bring the lost city back to life in the nineteenth century. Today, through a combination of archaeological reports, classical Greek accounts, and ancient cuneiform inscriptions, the chronology of Nineveh can be reconstructed.
