John Tortes "Chief" Meyers

A Baseball Biography

By: William A. Young

One of major league baseball's first Native American stars, John Tortes "Chief" Meyers (1880-1971) was the hard-hitting, award-winning catcher for John McGraw's New York Giants from 1908 to 1915 and later for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He appeared in four World Series and remains heralded for his role as the trusted battery mate of legendary pitcher Christy Mathewson. Unlike other Native American players who eschewed their tribal identities to escape prejudice, Meyers--a member of the Santa Rosa Band of the Cahuilla Tribe of California--remained proud of his heritage and became a tribal leader after his major league career. This first full biography explores John Tortes Meyers's Cahuilla roots and early life, his year at Dartmouth College, his outstanding baseball career, his life after baseball, and his remarkable legacy.

Art and Architecture of the Synagogue in Late Antique Palestine

In the Shadow of the Church

By: David William Milson

This study examines the material evidence for synagogues and churches in the Holy Land from the age of Constantine in the fourth century CE to the Arab conquest of the eastern provinces in the seventh century CE. Whereas scholars once viewed the growth of the Byzantine empire as time of persecution, a re-evaluation of the archaeological evidence indicates that Jews prospered along with their Christian neighbours. What influence did Christian art and architecture have on ancient synagogues? In the sixth century, one-third of all known synagogues in Palestine bear features similar to early Byzantine churches: basilical layouts, mosaic floors, apses, and chancel screens. Focusing on these features sheds light on how Jewish communities met the challenges posed by the Church’s development into a major religious and political power. This book provides a critical analysis of the archaeological evidence as a basis for our better understanding of Jewish identity and community in late Antique Palestine.

Jim Thorpe

A Biography

By: William A. Cook

Most biographies of Jim Thorpe (1888-1953) emphasize his Olympic glory and his remarkable abilities in track and football. Thorpe's 1912 gold medals in the decathalon and pentathalon and his talent on the gridiron rank him high among outstanding athletes of the twentieth century. That Thorpe also played brilliantly on the baseball diamond is an often overlooked facet of his career. This narrative of Thorpe's rise and fall in American sports pays particular attention to his time in the major and minor leagues, including his stormy relationship with New York Giants manager John McGraw and baseball's role in stripping Thorpe of his Olympic medals. By chronicling Thorpe's involvement in baseball, football and track concurrently, this profile offers a complete portrait of one of the most versatile athletes in sports history.

The Story of Naomi—The Book of Ruth

From Gender to Politics

By: Terry Giles,William J. Doan

The book of Ruth is probably best known as a romantic love story that, through the expression of loving devotion, overcomes tragedy and ends with the founding of the most famous family in all of biblical Israel. But the book wasn't always this way. In fact, it wasn't a book at all but rather a story told with a very different purpose in mind. Before Ruth, there was the Story of Naomi, a subversive story designed to challenge a male-dominated status quo. Through comedy, sarcastic irony, and unparalleled rhetorical skill the Naomi storyteller holds up for inspection social gender roles and the power of sexuality in a manner that resonates yet today. The Story of Naomi--The Book of Ruth goes behind the literary rendition of the story and recaptures the original oral tale, with script and performance directions that brings to life the humor, tragedy, and transparent honesty shared between the Naomi storyteller and her audience.

Carbonate Reservoirs

Chapter 8. Meteoric Diagenetic Environment

By: Clyde H. Moore,William J. Wade

Shallow-marine carbonate sequences commonly undergo exposure to meteoric waters. These waters are chemically aggressive toward sedimentary carbonate minerals, capable of rapidly dissolving grains and generating secondary porosity. The carbonate derived from dissolution can precipitate as cement, either nearby or hydrologically downstream, decreasing porosity. Thus the potential for restructuring of original depositional porosity is very high in the meteoric diagenetic environment. Chemical signatures of meteoric pore waters and meteoric carbonate cements are distinct and reflect kinetics of the CaCO3–H2O–CO2 system, climatic effects, and hydrologic setting. The meteoric diagenetic environment is subdivided into vadose and phreatic diagenetic zones. Caliches/calcretes are distinctive diagenetic profiles of uppermost vadose zones in semi-arid climates. Porosity development in vadose diagenetic zones is to a large degree a function of relative sea level, which controls the occurrence of localized floating freshwater lenses (during highstands) versus regional meteoric water systems (during lowstands). Detailed examples presented include Quintana Roo (Mexico) strandplains and Oaks Field (North Louisian Jurassic), both highstand prograding shoreline systems, and Great Bahama Bank and Barbados (lowstand platform-wide aquifer systems). Geochemical trends in calcite cements and porosity development patterns characteristic of regional meteoric aquifer systems are illustrated from Mississippian Lake Valley Formation grainstones (southwest New Mexico). Karst processes and porosity styles are described in order that paleokarst features in reservoirs can be recognized and/or predicted. Detailed evaluations of paleokarsted reservoirs include Yates and Ellenburger fields (Permian and Ordovician of West Texas, respectively) and Rospo Mare Field (Cretaceous), Adriatic offshore, Italy. Lastly, the validity and significance of dolomitization associated with meteoric and especially mixed meteoric–marine waters (Dorag model) is evaluated and found to be lacking.
