Summary

"Sacred Stone Markers" explores the fascinating world of ancient stone formations created by indigenous cultures across the globe. These markers, far from being simple piles of rocks, served multifaceted purposes, acting as territorial boundaries, burial sites, and even astronomical observatories. The book delves into how these cultures strategically placed stones to reflect a deep understanding of their environment and a complex spiritual connection with the cosmos.

 
Intriguingly, some stone arrangements precisely align with celestial events, showcasing advanced astronomical knowledge, while others delineate sacred spaces for honoring ancestors. The book progresses from introducing the diverse types of stone markers to investigating territorial claims, burial rituals, and astronomical alignments, revealing common threads among these applications.

 
By combining archaeological evidence with cultural anthropology and archaeoastronomy, "Sacred Stone Markers" offers a unique perspective on these ancient monuments. This approach emphasizes the sophisticated communication, navigation, and record-keeping systems embedded within these stone formations, challenging traditional interpretations and providing a holistic understanding of indigenous intelligence and cultural heritage.

    When darkness, fear, and instability inundate our daily lives, folktale figures like Baba Yaga speak to the dichotomy of our existence—the hope and the horror, the magic and the mundane. At once an old hag and an enchantress, a demon and wish granter, a feminist and nothing more than a fairytale, Baba Yaga is an endlessly complex folktale character. 
 
 
  
Becoming Baba Yaga provides an in-depth look at the Baba Yaga mythos and history through Slavic folklore. Filled with historical and cultural context, analyses, and the stories themselves that add depth to the conversation. A comprehensive resource for anyone hoping to learn more about this ambiguous character and how her multifaceted presence still ripples through the present day, Becoming Baba Yaga is as thoughtful as it is illuminating. 
 
 
  
Spisak explores Baba Yaga's connection to nature as an Earth goddess and as an herbalist. She also delves into the Shadow Self and Baba Yaga's aspect as a trickster and places her in a modern context as not merely a witch of the woods but also as an archetype and force for finding your own path. Becoming Baba Yaga shares how she is both a force for good as much as evil and a feminist before her time.

    Over the last decades, rivalries, bilateral disagreements, and distrust between Maghreb states have taken a toll on common political and security challenges, like the Western Sahara issue, the Libyan conflict, the destabilisation in the Sahel region and transnational clandestine flows. Moreover, the Maghreb is one of the least economically integrated regions in the world, and this leads to the region's loss in growth, and the disheartening record of missed opportunities for stability and prosperity. This is the cost of the "non-Maghreb".
This Report aims to unpack the political and economic costs of the "non-Maghreb", understand its historical genesis and geopolitical implications and, more broadly, what the future might hold for individual countries and the Maghreb as a divided, fractious but potentially coherent whole.

    Ten days, two rivals, and a busload of tourists. How bad could it be? 
For archaeologist Emilia Flores, landing a fellowship to work at the ancient ruins of Pompeii in Italy is a dream come true. The only catch? She’ll be digging alongside her infuriating nemesis, TJ Mayer, who’s been a constant thorn in her side. 
TJ isn’t about to pass up the Pompeii project. Sure, he’ll be stuck working with Emilia, but he thrives on challenging her. And he hasn’t forgotten that secret kiss they shared at an archaeology conference last winter. 
Though unearthing Pompeii’s treasures might be a dream, student debt is a nightmare that never takes a vacation. So, when TJ and Emilia are offered a lucrative side job to lead a ten-day tour through southern Italy, they grudgingly agree to tackle it together. 
Forced to set aside their animosity and work as a team, they forge an unexpected camaraderie. As the sparks between them ignite, their rivalry gives way to passion, making it easy to forget their years of fierce competition. But what happens when the tour ends and the real world steps in? 
Tour Wars is a rivals-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine romance featuring a nerdy cinnamon roll hero, a strong-willed Latina heroine, and plenty of hotel hijinks. It can be read as a standalone.
