Through a Glass Darkly

By: Kay Thomann

Where do you find truth? Unanswered questions and unsolved mysteries are integral to human experience. The Brotherhood, an otherworldly conspiratorial entity steeped in witchcraft, intrigue, and murder, served by Lazarus Berakus and Damein Rathskin, believe it is up to qualified men to lead the world into harmony. “One world, one government, many gods.” The Brotherhood’s manipulation of world finances brings devastation to the farm community of ten-year-old Skeeter Beor. When farmers organize to fight back, dissension among them brings violence, social havoc, and finally soul-searching for Skeeter and her family. Lured by the warm spring wind, the children at Skeeter’s one-room country school venture off on an unauthorized hike and happen upon a mystery in the making, which leaves her with foreboding. It is the catalyst for Skeeter reluctantly growing into womanhood. The spiritual, emotional, and physical challenges present a variety of reactions: fear, humor, sensitivity, and an aching to express love. Into the mix Shanna Drake, the famous actress, boldly manipulates her way into the social realm of the Brotherhood in search of her birth mother, who she feels defrauded her of her birthright. Surprise and danger await.

The Vital Dead

Making Meaning, Identity, and Community Through Cemeteries

By: Alison Bell

This book builds on recent anthropological work to explore the social and cultural dynamics of cemetery practice and its transformation over generations in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Anthropologist Alison Bell finds that people are using material culture-images and epitaphs on grave markers, as well as objects they leave on graves-to assert and maintain relationships and fight against alienation. She draws on fieldwork, interviews, archival sources, and disciplinary insights to show how cemeteries both reveal and participate in the grassroots cultural work of crafting social connections, assessing the transcendental durability of the deceased person, and asserting particular cultural values. The book's chapters range across cemetery types, focusing on African American burials, grave sites of institutionalized individuals, and modern community memorials"--

Environmentalism and Cultural Theory

Exploring the Role of Anthropology in Environmental Discourse

By: Kay Milton

The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in the attention paid by social scientists to environmental issues, and a gradual acknowledgement, in the wider community, of the role of social science in the public debate on sustainability. At the same time, the concept of `culture', once the property of anthropologists has gained wide currency among social scientist. These trends have taken place against a growing perception, among specialist and public, of the global nature of contemporary issues. This book shows how an understanding of culture can throw light on the way environmental issues are perceived and interpreted, both by local communities and within the contemporary global arena. Taking an anthropological approach the book examines the relationship between human culture and human ecology, and considers how a cultural approach to the study of environmental issues differs from other established approaches in social science. This book adds significantly to our understanding of environmentalism as a contemporary phenomenon, by demonstrating the distinctive contribution of social and cultural anthropology to the environmental debate. It will be of particular interest to students and researchers in the fields of social science and the environment.

Homing In

An Adopted Child's Story Mandala of Connecting, Reunion, and Belonging

By: Susan Kay Mossman Riva

By homing in, we activate our inner compass for belonging. A Miraculous Adoption Story About Reunion and Divine Timing. Dr. Susan Mossman Riva was adopted in Omaha, Nebraska in 1963. In 1995, she sought the help of the Nebraska Children's Home to find her birth mother, leading to the discovery of her birth family in 1996. Miraculously, her search and reunion coincided with her biological sister's search. The awe and joy of homecoming brought her to the realization that synchronicity acts as a guidepost, repairing relational brokenness. The divine timing of their reunion happened months before their biological, maternal grandmother died. Susan connects the phases of her life in an intricate story mandala. As an adopted child, she innately understands all that can be lost through her experience of separation. This awareness became a driving force as she steadfastly worked for reconciliation in all her relations. With loving intent, she embarked upon a journey seeking to reunite and reconcile with all those she belonged to. By connecting and engaging in an intentional forgiveness process. Susan was ultimately able to forge a pathway homing in to wholeness. Readers will discover the power of the homing in mechanism that can be activated and used as an inner compass for all pathfinders. Susan's social science background provides an explanatory framework, sharing knowledgeability about generative and transformative processes.

Criminal Procedures: Cases, Statutes, and Executive Materials, Criminal Procedures: The Police, Criminal Procedures: Prosecution and Adjudication, Seventh Edition

2024 Supplement

By: Marc L. Miller,Ronald F. Wright,Jenia I. Turner,Kay L. Levine

Criminal Procedures: Cases, Statutes, and Executive Materials is known for its focus on materials from multiple institutions, including primary materials from U.S. Supreme Court cases, state high court cases, state and federal statutes, rules of procedure, and police and prosecutorial policies, along with materials from social science studies. Taken together, the principal materials highlight procedural variety, focus on real-world topics, provide the political context, offer a comparative analysis of different legal approaches, and consider the impact of procedures. The 2024 Supplement covers the most recent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court as well as newsworthy developments such as policing and bail reform, emerging legal responses to new surveillance technologies, and the backlash to progressive policies. New to the 2024 Edition: ● The 2024 Supplement incorporates all of the criminal procedure rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court since the October 2022 term, whether through reprinting opinions as principal materials or through summary coverage in new notes and practice problems. ● The Supplement includes opinions from high state courts that add texture to the doctrines described in the main volume; in some instances, the state courts interpret their state constitutional provisions more generously than the federal courts interpret the federal constitution. ● The Supplement also spotlights new legislative and enforcement trends, including proposals for limiting police use of force, “defunding” or reforming police departments, emerging legal responses to new surveillance technologies, bail reform (and the backlash generated by bail reform in some places), the declination policies that prosecutors publish and apply, and efforts by state legislatures to restrict the power of local prosecutors to respond to local priorities. ● The 2024 Supplement clearly delineates where the new material should appear in the authors’ three separate casebook versions: Criminal Procedures—The Police, Criminal Procedures—Prosecution and Adjudication, and the combined volume that is available in electronic format.

Globalization and Human Development

By: Roni Kay M. O'Dell,Devin K. Joshi

Stories of humans striving for the good life are the focus of this new text from Roni Kay M. O’Dell and Devin K. Joshi, grounding students’ understanding of globalization and international development in real human and practical experience. Globalization and Human Development provides a new history and focus to the study of international development, with a concern for how people have been included, or continue to be left out, of the center of development thinking and practice. While many books on international relations ignore the contributions and influence of the Global South, this book incorporates their important contributions, while at the same time recognizing the continued inequalities, and disproportionate power and wealth of these marginalized nations. This book is the first to examine the globalization of the human development and capability approach (HDCA) as an ideology of international development and an ideology of globalization. It explores the relationship between HDCA and globalization, and the extent to which the HDCA has been globalizing. Further, the authors’ analysis looks at: How certain HDCA ideas are promoted, discussed, and cited more often than those stemming from neoliberalism and other development paradigms How the HDCA was influenced by development thinking in the Global South during the Cold War, along with mobilizations to end all forms of colonialism, neocolonialism, and imperialism Why the HDCA has re-oriented global development thinking and practice away from state-centric and profit-focused development models fixated on GDP growth to prioritize individual well-being and freedoms.

The Beholder's Eye

A Collection of America's Finest Personal Journalism

By: Scott Anderson,Mary Kay Blakely,Harry Crews

A collection of the very best in contemporary first-person journalism compiled by the award-winning former Washington Post reporter and author. Great journalists, at one time or another, have all been characters in their own stories: people with personalities that shaped what they saw and reported, and were touched and changed by the experiences about which they wrote; and innovators who borrowed the storytelling techniques of fiction. The Beholder’s Eye showcases the very best of an increasing trend toward personal narrative: Mike Sager stalking Marlon Brando in the Tahitian jungle; J. R. Moehringer’s quest to discover the true identity of an old boxer; Bill Plaschke’s story about a woman with cerebral palsy who runs an obscure Los Angeles Dodgers Web site; Scott Anderson’s story of his lifetime of covering war after war; Harrington’s own tale of his interracial family’s struggle to persevere; and many others. Written by reporters who were willing to reveal themselves in order to bring readers insights that were deeper than supposedly objective third-person stories, their articles are an invaluable resource for aspiring journalists, students, and teachers of the craft of writing, and any reader with an appreciation for masterful storytelling. “Aims to dispel the old journalistic cliché: that a journalist writing about him/herself is always ‘self-indulgent and, quite likely, narcissistic.’ He couldn’t have put together a better lineup of writers to make the point that it doesn’t have to be . . . Not just some of the country’s finest personal journalism, but some of its finest journalism, period.”—Kirkus Reviews

Around Nederland

By: Kay Turnbaugh

Nederland survived three boom-and-bust cycles involving three different minerals. During the silver boom, U.S. president Ulysses S. Grant visited Central City in 1873 and walked on silver bricks that had been mined in Caribou and milled in Nederland. The second boom followed the discovery of gold in Eldora in 1897 and lasted only a few years. The third boom was sparked by the discovery of tungsten by Sam Conger, the same man who made the original discovery of silver in Caribou. The Conger mine eventually became the greatest tungsten mine in the world. During World War I, Nederland's population swelled to 3,000--twice the size it is today--and another 2,000 were estimated to live nearby. In each boom, men came to mine, open stores, and transport goods and ore. They brought families with them, and many towns sprang up, including Caribou, Eldora, Lakewood, Tungsten, and Rollinsville. Some of these communities have survived, while others remain only in memories and photographs.
