1619 - Twenty Africans

1619 - Twenty Africans

Stephen Hanks

Indy Pub
2020
pokkari
One way to fully understand the effect that slavery and its legacy has had, and continues to have, is to look at how it began-similar to when a person trying to understand their ancestry must go back and trace the roots of where their family began. 1619 - Twenty Africans will attempt to do both, tracing the beginning of slavery in America and having a discussion about tracing our ancestry, in the context of author Stephen Hanks' DNA test results. Hanks started out tracing two family names-and ended up examining the lineages of four genetic DNA cousins related to him. What he discovered would completely shake his whole understanding about how slavery in America was created, ultimately taking the author on a journey leading him to the events that started in the year 1619 on the shores of Virginia. Today's DNA testing is revealing that Americans have far more in common with each other than they ever could have imagined.

Worldwide there are legends of an ancient catastrophic deluge that drowned all mankind except for a few survivors. What if you could trace the ancestry of the world, starting from that global flood all the way to the beginning of New York City in 1626 - what would the record reveal? Three Brothers - 1626 explores this question. Historical religious records states the survivors of that terrible storm were three brothers - Shem, Ham, Japheth - did they really exist? If you could trace the ancestry of these three brothers - using historical evidence, ancient writings, legends, and facts - what would history show? And what could it all say, if anything, about our future as a race?Stephen Hanks - author of 1619 - Twenty Africans - takes us on another journey of mankind's ancestry, combining ancient writings, legends, historical evidence, religious records, and scientific facts including DNA.Three Brothers - 1626 will take you on a journey that will explore the genealogy of the world, the origin of Slavery in New York and Virginia, the ancestry of the indigenous in Haiti and the Americas, the rise and fall of international world powers, what Africa and China have in common, Religion's involvement in the Slave trade, and much more, including interesting anecdotes of DNA genealogy, which is now connecting millions of people to new families and cultures that were previously unknown to them.

Hidden Hands

Hidden Hands

Stephen Quirke

Bristol Classical Press
2010

Despite major movements for change, in practice archaeologists still pursue the past to the exclusion of the present inhabitants of archaeological landscapes. Archaeological archives hold a key to the formation of archaeology as a separate study, but they may be overlooked in current debates on ethics in archaeology and anthropology. This study focuses on the great archive that records the work of Flinders Petrie in Egypt, first in 1880-1882 under a nationalist government, and then during the English military occupation that lasted from 1882 until after his death in 1942. The archive brings to life the main Egyptian supervisors who enabled Petrie to function as an archaeologist, while payroll lists record the names of hundreds more men and children on the full labour force. None of these Egyptians have received recognition as an archaeologist in history-writing, foreign or Egyptian. This archival ground offers a new open resource to those within Egypt and elsewhere opposed to the neo-colonial regime of the disciplines.

Invisible Hands, Invisible Objectives

Invisible Hands, Invisible Objectives

Stephen F. Befort; John W. Budd

Stanford University Press
2009
sidottu
The global financial crisis and recession have placed great strains on the free market ideology that has emphasized economic objectives and unregulated markets. The balance of economic and noneconomic goals is under the microscope in every sector of the economy. It is time to re-think the objectives of the employment relationship and the underlying assumptions of how that relationship operates. Invisible Hands, Invisible Objectives develops a fresh, holistic framework to fundamentally reexamine U.S. workplace regulation. A new scorecard for workplace law and public policy that embraces equity and voice for employees and economic efficiency will reveals significant deficiencies in our current practices. To create one, the authors—a legal scholar and an economics and industrial relations scholar—blend their expertise to propose a comprehensive set of reforms, tackling such issues as regulatory enforcement, portable employee benefits, training programs, living wages, workplace safety and health, work-family balance, security and social safety nets, nondiscrimination, good-cause dismissal, balanced income distributions, free speech protections for employees, individual and collective workplace decision-making, and labor unions. Invisible Hands, Invisible Objectives is not just another book that sketches a reform agenda. The book provides the much-needed rubric for how we think about employment policy specifically, but also economic policy more generally. It is a must-read in these most critical times.

WINNER 2016 SCRIBE AWARD - BEST ADAPTED NOVEL New Adaptation of the Cult Horror-Comedy Classic I've enjoyed reading this really fun version of my "family movie," and I know you will too." - Jackey Neyman Jones (Debbie from Manos)"The worst movie ever made." - Entertainment WeeklyMike, Margaret, their young daughter Debbie, and toy poodle Pepe drive into the West Texas countryside looking forward to a relaxing family vacation. Instead, they discover an evil cult of undead polygamists led by The Master and his half-human servant, Torgo. Can the family make it out of the desert alive with both the cultists and the Hands of Fate against them?Based on the "so-bad-it's-good" cult horror classic, Manos: The Hands of Fate is the first of two Manos novelizations by award-winning author Stephen D. Sullivan. In this laugh-a-minute adaptation, Sullivan has captured all the zaniness of the "classic" low-budget feature - including every word of the original dialogue. Fans of MST3K, RiffTrax, or bad movies in general are in for a real treat (Sullivan swears that the second Manos book -- due for fall-winter 2015 release -- will be a "serious horror" novel.)

Hands-on Palaeontology

Hands-on Palaeontology

Stephen K. Donovan

Dunedin Academic Press
2021
nidottu
There are many books on palaeontology, aimed at amateurs, undergraduates and aspiring academics. Perhaps commonest amongst these are guides to fossil identification, from the general (basic texts on fossil variety and morphology) to the specific (field guides to specific groups, localities or horizons). Many of these are readable, comprehensive and provide good advice. This is not such a book - there is more to the subject than just putting a name on a specimen, however important that may be.As the book’s title states, this is a practical manual covering the many aspects of palaeontology. It is organised in fifty-three chapters; each chapter focusses on one aspect of palaeontology as viewed with a geologist’s trained eye. It can be read from cover-to-cover or dipped into when an answer to a specific question is needed. The aim is to help the developing palaeontologist move their skills on to the next level.It is aimed, primarily, at the beginner in the broadest sense, both amateur and undergraduate. Palaeontologists and geologists are encouraged to use the book as much as a reference as a reader, dipping in to the chapters that contain relevant tips, hints and comments to enable them to improve their understanding of their current interest. It is informative, readable and, most of all, of practical application for all palaeontologists.
