The Strange Disappearance of Rose Stone

The Strange Disappearance of Rose Stone

J E Irvin

Whodunit Mystery Writing Competition Award Winner
2019
pokkari
"Haunted by events from their childhood, Peter Stone and his sister, Rose, would surely agree with William Faulkner: 'The past is never dead. It's not even past.' Subtle references to Psycho and to Nightmare on Elm Street add a sense of foreboding to this beautifully written, eerily suspenseful, and totally engrossing novel. As Peter begins to learn why Rose has chosen to disappear, you won't be able to put this book down." - Jill McCroskey Coupe, author of True Stories at the Smoky View and Beginning with Cannonballs."Richly suspenseful, J.E. Irvin's The Strange Disappearance of Rose Stone serves up a cast of beautifully drawn characters and a wildly twisting plot, all of which will keep readers riveted to the final page."- Kristina McBride, author of A MILLION TIMES GOODNIGHT"The Strange Disappearance of Rose Stone offers a poignant and often thoroughly heartbreaking interweaving of past and present as an older brother burdened by guilt searches desperately for his missing sister. Keep the Kleenex handy."- C.L. Pauwels, author of Forty & Out and Burned BridgesTen days after Rose Stone disappears, her brother Peter receives a note and a package containing their most treasured childhood possession. Now he must re-visit the landscape of their traumatic childhood, searching for clues that will help solve the mystery of her vanishing. Aided by fellow detective Tuck Cornell and wife Kelly, Peter confronts the ghosts of the past and the ones still waiting to be found.

Heritage Stone Conservation in Urban Churchyards

Heritage Stone Conservation in Urban Churchyards

Mary J. Thornbush; Sylvia E. Thornbush

Springer International Publishing AG
2018
nidottu
This book provides a cross-disciplinary perspective on the degradation and deterioration of the cultural record encompassed by urban headstones located in parish churchyards. Its interdisciplinary approach allows the geomorphological analysis of rock weathering to be combined with the impacts on the cultural record, its interpretation, and management. In particular, by examining the impacts of air pollution on the weathering of these cultural markers, cross-temporal assessments can provide valuable information concerning the condition of the record and its sustainability potential as monuments of cultural heritage.Churchyards located in urban settings have grown in interest for the purposes of heritage conservation research. Specifically, headstones represent part of the historical and archaeological record and are recognised as a component of historical archaeology. They are also now approached from the standpoint of heritage conservation, either as monuments or cultural stoneas well as being part of necrogeography through their address of burial and stone decay.In this brief, headstones located in parish churchyards in England and Scotland, as part of the Anglican record for the Church of England and the Presbyterian record for the Church of Scotland, were examined using non-destructive methods based on field observations since preliminary research in 2006 as part of a decadal scale (long-term) study. This multisite investigation captures the record since the 17th century, and mainly comprises limestone (England) and sandstone (Scotland) headstone markers that still remain upright. Most studied headstones appear before the 19th century, when this study’s temporal focus terminates. Seriations performed on the available record have revealed trends in style based on inscriptions, epitaphs, and motifs as well as quantified dimensions, shapes, and more. This study represents an attempt to pictorially record cultural stone and to observe cross-temporal and spatial change at various scales. As such, it offers a valuable resource for practitioners, e.g. conservators and archaeologists, as well as for students and researchers.

Roman Decorative Stone Collections in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Roman Decorative Stone Collections in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

J. Clayton Fant; Leah E. Long; Lynley J. McAlpine

THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN PRESS
2024
sidottu
At the turn of the twentieth century, Francis W. Kelsey began to amass a large collection of artifacts from ancient sites across the Mediterranean, with an emphasis on Imperial Rome, to broaden the teaching of antiquity at the University of Michigan. Among the objects now housed in the museum that bears his name is a collection of seven hundred colorful stones dating to the Roman period, one of the largest and most varied collections of Roman decorative stones outside Europe. These pieces were obtained as archaeological artifacts, mostly architectural, with many deriving from well-known ancient buildings, such as the Baths of Diocletian in Rome and the Palace of Herod in Jericho, allowing for new interpretations of their architectural decoration and design. Chapters trace the formation of the collection, study the archaeology of the artifacts, and detail the history of each stone and its study with a comprehensive bibliography. In keeping with the nature of the collection, Roman Decorative Stone Collections focuses on archaeological contexts and object biographies, from the stones’ first use to their eventual display in the Kelsey Museum. Entries are accompanied by rich photographs detailing the stones’ appearances, environmental factors, and their collectors. The fully illustrated catalog includes essays deriving from Kelsey’s original notes on sources, buildings, sites, and dealers. As the first formal catalog of these items, Roman Decorative Stone Collections is an accessible resource of Roman archaeology, antiquities, and the decorative arts.

Animals under logs and stones

Animals under logs and stones

C. Philip Wheater; Helen J. Read; Charlotte E. Wheater

Pelagic Publishing
2023
nidottu
Logs, stones and the like provide an interesting interface between the damp depths of the soil and the drier open ground surface, offering refuges for a fascinating array of animals. The communities of organisms that live beneath them are little noticed and even less studied, yet the potential for ecological work here is great. Some of the animals are relatively large and frequently not difficult to find. They exhibit a wide range of lifestyles – from slow slugs or snails to very fast centipedes, from generalist to specialist feeders and from herbivores to carnivores. With chapters covering the cryptosphere environment, species groups, identification, guidelines and ideas for further research, this much-expanded and updated new edition also includes extensive, easy-to-use, comprehensively illustrated keys. Ground-surface debris can be found almost anywhere, often presenting highly accessible microhabitats for study and bringing immediate rewards to the curious: here is the ideal tool to unlock these worlds.

E. J. Rudsdale's Journals of Wartime Colchester

E. J. Rudsdale's Journals of Wartime Colchester

Catherine Pearson

The History Press Ltd
2010
nidottu
E.J. Rudsdale’s role as a museum curator and air-raid shelter superintendent at Colchester Castle during the Second World War gave him the perfect opportunity to record life on the Home Front in his journals. Seventy years later, the selected extracts gathered here provide a remarkable insight into wartime life. Rudsdale’s writing is characterised throughout by his wry observations of wartime officialdom and his lack of conformity with the prevailing views of the time. He was a pacifist, which gives his journals an unusual perspective. However, even as a civilian he could not escape the conflict, living in a garrison town threatened by invasion and regular bombing raids. His journals, therefore, record anxious and tragic events, but throughout it all his sense of humour is never diminished.This absorbing collection demonstrates Rudsdale’s ability to bring a scene vividly to life and each account highlights the daily pressures that people endured as they valiantly tried to carry on with normal life in spite of the war.
