Beschreibung

Prehistoric Rock Shelters unveils the profound connection between early indigenous cultures and the natural rock formations they called home. It explores how these geological features provided essential shelter, protection, and spaces for ceremonial practices. Intriguingly, archaeological evidence within these shelters reveals not only tools and artifacts but also rock art, offering tangible links to early indigenous life and belief systems. The book argues that these shelters actively shaped the cultural, social, and spiritual development of these societies, challenging conventional views.

 
The book begins by examining the geological processes behind the formation of habitable rock shelters, touching on earth sciences and geography. It then analyzes archaeological findings and rock art, using history and anthropology to interpret their significance. Progressing through chapters, the book culminates in a discussion of the contemporary implications of preserving these sites, offering a holistic view of early human adaptation and the lasting impact of indigenous cultures.

Disability and Political...

Stefanie Reher, Elizabeth Evans

Disability and Political Representation explores how disabled people experience the various stages and aspects of the representation process, drawing upon extensive empirical research and a variety of qualitative and quantitative data. It discusses why increasing the number of disabled politicians matters, not only as a matter of justice and equality but also to better represent the issues and interests of importance to disabled people. 
 
 
 
Evans and Reher identify a variety of ableist barriers that prevent disabled people from fully participating in the political process, from disenfranchisement and inaccessible polling stations to prejudice within parties and a lack of financial support for candidates who require adjustments. The work shows that while the preferences of disabled citizens are currently under-represented in parliament, disabled representatives often draw on their lived experience to advocate for their interests. The concept of experiential representation is developed to help scholars and practitioners better navigate the concept of political representation, specifically as it relates to disability.

Goodbye Russia - Rachmaninoff in...

Fiona Maddocks

In 1940, Sergei Rachmaninoff, living in exile in America, broke his creative silence and composed a swan song to his Russian homeland—his iconic "Symphonic Dances." What happened in those final haunted years and how did he come to write his farewell masterpiece? 
 
 
 
Rachmaninoff left Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) in 1917 during the throes of the Russian Revolution. He was forty-four years old, at the peak of his powers as composer-conductor-performer, moving in elite Tsarist circles, as well as running the family estate, his refuge and solace. Reeling from the trauma of a life in upheaval, he wrote almost no music and quickly had to reinvent himself as a fêted virtuoso pianist, building up untold wealth and meeting the stars. 
 
 
 
Using a wide range of sources, including important newly translated texts, Fiona Maddocks's book conjures impressions of this enigmatic figure, his friends, and the world he encountered. It explores his life as an emigré artist and how he clung to an Old Russia which no longer existed. That forging of past and present meets in his Symphonic Dances (1940), his last composition, written on Long Island shortly before his death in Beverly Hills, surrounded by a close-knit circle of exiles. Goodbye Russia is a moving and prismatic look at Rachmaninoff and his iconic final work.

The Cross and the Crucifixion

Manly Palmer Hall

The prevalent idea that the reverence for the cross is limited to the Christian world is disproved by even the most superficial investigation of its place in religious symbolism. The early Christians used every means possible to conceal the pagan origin of their symbols, doctrines, and rituals. They either destroyed the sacred books of other peoples among whom they settled, or made them inaccessible to students of comparative philosophy, apparently believing that in this way they could stamp out all record of the pre-Christian origin of their doctrines. In some cases the writings of various ancient authors were tampered with, passages of a compromising nature being removed or foreign material interpolated.
