»Denna mycket gedigna och fascinerade redogörelse för framväxten av den medeltida staden Lund med uppförandet av katedralen i fokus, presenterar ny, intressant forskning om Lunds historia som ger belägg för att staden grundades redan under Harald Blåtands tid.« BibliotekstjänstHarald Blåtand och Lund, källsprång och lera, kloster och slavar, oxar och stenblock, domkyrkans bergarter och stadens planläggning med käppar och rännor är några av de många byggstenar som sammanfogar innehållet i boken Vägar mot Lund. I denna antologi får vi till en början följa det lokala och internationella politiska spelet kring grundläggandet och utvecklingen av vad som blev det medeltida Danmarks ärkebiskopssäte och landets största myntort. Människorna, både de fria och de ofria, nås genom gravfynd, keramik och moderna analysmetoder. Uppförandet av katedralen och dess föregångare följs från de geologiska förutsättningarna på platsen till byggandet av den ännu stående domkyrkan. De skånska stormännens långa erfarenhet av stora byggnadsprojekt tas upp till diskussion. Arbetsledning, arbetare, dragdjur, stentransportvägar, vagnar och andra delar i den stora och långa entreprenaden beskrivs. Utifrån stenanalyser i Lund leds vi till stenbrott i en stor del av Skåne. Boken visar olika vägar mot Lunds tidigaste historia men ännu finns spännande frågor som väntar på sina svar.Redaktörer och författare till antologin Vägar mot Lund är arkeologerna Maria Cinthio och Anders Ödman. Texter har även skrivits av Lone Mogensen och Ulf Sivhed.Fler pressröster om boken:»Vägar mot Lund är fylld med nya spännande observationer och kreativa idéer ... boken har en fin layout och är rikt illustrerad med foton och gamla och nya ritningar.« Kuml 2018

The Spy Who Seduced America: Lies and Betrayal in the Heat of the Cold War--The Judith Coplon Story

The Spy Who Seduced America: Lies and Betrayal in the Heat of the Cold War--The Judith Coplon Story

Marcia Mitchell; Thomas Mitchell

Rocndog Books

"An entire chapter of American paranoia and mania," launched by Judith Coplon, the first spy to be tried during the Cold War. In this true, "riveting tale of espionage," US Department of Justice employee Judith Coplon either did or did not spy for Russia. Amazingly, she was tried in twin trials in two cities, watched riveted as both verdicts were overturned, and waited for nearly two decades to learn her fate. Like the polarized public at the time, the authors--one a retired FBI agent who worked the 1949 case--disagreed about her guilt more than fifty years later. Now, in this refreshed second edition, The Spy Who Seduced America reflects their investigation of polarizing evidence, including fallout from "unidentified informants," which took them from Washington to Moscow. Finally, they located a truth that neither could deny--and in the process shined a light on government actions that are still controversial, and in use, today. In a Publisher's Note for this second edition, we find uncanny parallels between this seminal case and today's counterespionage policies--including government overreach, privacy laws, illegal wiretaps, and more. As the "girl spy" who seduced America taught us, it's one thing to know something, and another to prove it.

Silver, Sword, and Stone: Three Crucibles in the Latin American Story

Silver, Sword, and Stone: Three Crucibles in the Latin American Story

Marie Arana

SIMON SCHUSTER
2020
nidottu
Winner, American Library Association Booklist's Top of the List, 2019 Adult Nonfiction Acclaimed writer Marie Arana delivers a cultural history of Latin America and the three driving forces that have shaped the character of the region: exploitation (silver), violence (sword), and religion (stone). "Meticulously researched, this] book's greatest strengths are the power of its epic narrative, the beauty of its prose, and its rich portrayals of character...Marvelous" (The Washington Post). Leonor Gonzales lives in a tiny community perched 18,000 feet above sea level in the Andean cordillera of Peru, the highest human habitation on earth. Like her late husband, she works the gold mines much as the Indians were forced to do at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Illiteracy, malnutrition, and disease reign as they did five hundred years ago. And now, just as then, a miner's survival depends on a vast global market whose fluctuations are controlled in faraway places. Carlos Buergos is a Cuban who fought in the civil war in Angola and now lives in a quiet community outside New Orleans. He was among hundreds of criminals Cuba expelled to the US in 1980. His story echoes the violence that has coursed through the Americas since before Columbus to the crushing savagery of the Spanish Conquest, and from 19th- and 20th-century wars and revolutions to the military crackdowns that convulse Latin America to this day. Xavier Alb is a Jesuit priest from Barcelona who emigrated to Bolivia, where he works among the indigenous people. He considers himself an Indian in head and heart and, for this, is well known in his adopted country. Although his aim is to learn rather than proselytize, he is an inheritor of a checkered past, where priests marched alongside conquistadors, converting the natives to Christianity, often forcibly, in the effort to win the New World. Ever since, the Catholic Church has played a central role in the political life of Latin America--sometimes for good, sometimes not. In this "timely and excellent volume" (NPR) Marie Arana seamlessly weaves these stories with the history of the past millennium to explain three enduring themes that have defined Latin America since pre-Columbian times: the foreign greed for its mineral riches, an ingrained propensity to violence, and the abiding power of religion. Silver, Sword, and Stone combines "learned historical analysis with in-depth reporting and political commentary... and] an informed and authoritative voice, one that deserves a wide audience" (The New York Times Book Review).
