Ethnic Identity and the Archaeology of the aduentus Saxonum
James M. Harland
TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
nidottu
For centuries, archaeologists have excavated the soils of Britain to uncover finds from the early medieval past. These finds have been used to reconstruct the alleged communities, migration patterns, and expressions of identity of coherent groups who can be regarded as ethnic 'Anglo-Saxons'. Even in the modern day, when social constructionism has been largely accepted by scholars, this paradigm still persists. This book challenges the ethnic paradigm. As the first historiographical study of approaches to ethnic identity in modern 'Anglo-Saxon' archaeology, it reveals these approaches to be incompatible with current scholarly understandings of ethnicity. Drawing upon post-structuralist approaches to self and community, it highlights the empirical difficulties the archaeology of ethnicity in early medieval Britain faces, and proposes steps toward an alternative understanding of the role played by the communities of lowland Britain, both migrants from across the North Sea and those already present, in transforming the Roman world.

What are the factors that shape and determine the foreign policy choices of the United States? The Politics of United States Foreign Policy helps students consider the players, processes, and politics that drive US decisions and involvement in foreign policy. Blending substance, theory, and stimulating analysis, James Scott and Jerel Rosati emphasize that society, government, and global forces play a role in the struggle over competing values when it comes to foreign policymaking. The book discusses historical patterns, the president’s ability to influence both at home and abroad, and the tension between democracy and national security. The Eighth Edition has been updated to cover developments since the end of the Trump administration, the transition to the Biden administration, the challenges of changing international and domestic contexts, and the increasingly partisan political environment. It also incorporates key recent national and international developments, including the global pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, US global reengagement, and competition between the US and key rivals like China and Russia.
Angels fall but never die... Vesta Valley, California, a region world-renowned for its hundreds of vineyards, has also been notorious for dark phenomena. Beyond acres of grapevines, sits the Meadow of Dead Angels, an untouched land with reported sightings of bizarre creatures, people burning, people flying, and-most famously-a crazed woman who had been eating her toddler son alive. Of course, many claim the tales are mere campfire stories and urban legends, internet "PulpDummies." Following the sudden death of her mother, Abigail Munro grieves alone, spending much of her time drinking and popping pills or wandering, driving around aimlessly in her campervan. During this time of despair, she encounters the eccentric "Top Hat Man," who convinces her to seek her mother in the Meadow of Dead Angels. Desperate for healing, she travels to the cursed grounds, accompanied by her close circle of friends. On this impromptu camping trip, Abigail and her friends learn the truth about the land, as they become the prey of an otherworldly evil. If they hope to escape, the group must uncover the source and macabre history of the vile entities plaguing them. It will be a fight for their lives, their souls, and their sanity, for the Meadow of Dead Angels is neither cursed nor haunted... It is INFESTED.
This novel is based upon the story of my abandonment and subsequent adoption. It is based upon newspaper articles of the time, but includes a purely fictional account of how my biological parents met and their life up to the moment of my birth.

The Best Caliber Wars: A History of Self-defense Ballistics

Guns can be very effective tools, but they are each of limited utility. There is no one weapon that is perfect for every purpose. Private persons may own a number of guns that fulfill a variety of functions. Ballistics is important for soldiers, law enforcement, sportsmen, and anyone who seeks to protect their life, their home, their family, or their workplace. If you are among these, this book is for you.Not surprisingly, gun owners and firearms enthusiasts are often part of a "social gun culture" in which certain facts, trends, and fads circulate and evolve with time, some stirring intense loyalty among shooters even when the realities suggest otherwise. For the average gun user some very popular myths, misconceptions, and miscalculations concerning ballistics and the terminal effects of bullets are strongly held, and it is not the purpose of this discussion to demonstrate why they are or are not true, only to lay out the parameters of the debate so that the readers can make their own judgments with increased confidence. The origin of ballistics is in the study of the flight path of projectiles, but its domain has been expanded in modern times. Among the modern ballistic sciences are areas of interest concerning how ammunition and weapons operate.

Intimacy and Sexuality in the Age of Shakespeare
James M. Bromley
Cambridge University Press
2011
sidottu
James Bromley argues that Renaissance texts circulate knowledge about a variety of non-standard sexual practices and intimate life narratives, including non-monogamy, anal eroticism, masochism and cross-racial female homoeroticism. Rethinking current assumptions about intimacy in Renaissance drama, poetry and prose, the book blends historicized and queer approaches to embodiment, narrative and temporality. An important contribution to Renaissance literary studies, queer theory and the history of sexuality, the book demonstrates the relevance of Renaissance literature to today. Through close readings of William Shakespeare's 'problem comedies', Christopher Marlowe's Hero and Leander, plays by Beaumont and Fletcher, Thomas Middleton's The Nice Valour and Lady Mary Wroth's sonnet sequence Pamphilia to Amphilanthus and her prose romance The Urania, Bromley re-evaluates notions of the centrality of deep, abiding affection in Renaissance culture and challenges our own investment in a narrowly defined intimate sphere.
