In 1954, two college students were hiking along a creek outside of Boulder, Colorado, when they stumbled upon the body of a murdered young woman. Who was this woman? What had happened to her? The initial investigation turned up nothing, and the girl was buried in a local cemetery with a gravestone that read, "Jane Doe, April 1954, Age About 20 Years."Decades later, historian Silvia Pettem formed a partnership with law enforcement and forensic experts and set in motion the events that led to Jane Does exhumation and eventual identification, as well as the identity of her probable killer.

In This Modern Age: Medieval Studies in Honor of Paul Edward Dutton is a collection of fourteen essays by scholars of the Carolingian era specializing in history, art history, and literature. The volume is divided into five sections, which treat early medieval Latin literary and historiographical culture, images and objects, interpretations of natural phenomena, and the subject of nostalgia. Reflecting Duttons pathbreaking work, the contributions all evince the great impact of his teaching and erudition over the past thirty years since the publication of his seminal books Carolingian Civilization: A Reader (1993), The Politics of Dreaming in the Carolingian Empire (1994), The Poetry and Paintings of the First Bible of Charles the Bald (with Herbert L. Kessler) (1997), Charlemagnes Courtier: The Complete Einhard (1998), Charlemagnes Mustache: And Other Cultural Clusters of a Dark Age (2004), together with his many influential articles. This body of highly distinctive, stimulating, and evocative scholarship has fundamentally transformed Carolingian studies, inspiring younger scholars to enter the field and encouraging established scholars to develop it in new directions. The essays in this volume individually pay tribute to Dutton in their illumination of diverse aspects of Carolingian intellectual, textual, and visual culture, with its famously idiosyncratic revival of Christian-Roman learning, aesthetics, and ideas. Gathered together, they offer an expression of gratitude for the risks that he took and the generosity that he has always shown.

The doctrine of familiar spirits was current in most ancient times. It is possible that immediately after the fall in Adam the imprisoned spirit of man began to assert its former freedom and ability. The old Scriptures depicted the witchs character, gave warning of her blighting influence, and enacted heavy penalties against employing her agency. In Exodus, xxii. 18: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. In Leviticus, xx. 27: A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. In Deuteronomy, xviii. 9-12: When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or any observer of times, or any enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer; for all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord.

Lige fra barndommen har jeg altid vret interesseret i historier om menneskene i det nre samfund, ikke mindst p Vestfyn. Da jeg var elleve r, fik jeg af far en dagbog i fdselsdagsgave. r efter r blev gaven fornyet. Da jeg blev voksen, kbte jeg selv min dagbog, som hver aften blev taget frem, s jeg kunne skrive ned, hvad jeg havde oplevet af godt og skidt i dagens lb. Jeg skrev dagbog, lige til jeg fik min computer, det var i 1989 eller 90, og siden har computeren taget over med alt. Her fr jeg ogs ind imellem skrevet noget, som ikke br gemmes, men her er det let bare at trykke p slette-knappen. Det, som denne bog indeholder, er nogle lokalhistoriske "beretninger" og "brokkerier," der har fet lov til at blive stende p min computer i de sidste 20 r. De forskellige beretninger str jeg helt inde for: Jeg holder af at fortlle om lokalhistoriske ting, selvflgelig fra mit hjemsogn, Kng (Glamsbjerg kommune).Mine lidt "sure brokkerier" fr ogs lov at blive stende, omend jeg har overvejet dem lnge. Men eftersom det er frste gang, at jeg oplever, hvordan det er at vre gammel, s svarer det jo til, hvordan jeg i dagbgerne beskrev, hvordan det var at vre p hjskole, p seminariet og nygift og alt muligt andet, jeg oplevede.Jeg hber, mine beretninger vil interesserer de, der lser denne bog. Jeg har i hvert fald haft glde af at samle tingene sammen... n ja, og ind imellem ogs genopleve en hel masse arrigskab!

The essential biography of Americas godmother of rock n roll whose exuberant singing and guitar playing captivated audiences and inspired generations of musicians from the 40s to todayWhen Shout, Sister, Shout! was first published in 2007, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was resting in an unmarked grave in a Philadelphia cemetery. That lack of a headstone symbolized so much of what was egregiously wrong about so many stories of American music, particularly the genre we call rock or rock-and-roll. Its a genre that wouldnt exist without Tharpe, though her contribution was forgotten for many years.The biography finally tells the story of the queer, Black trailblazer who defied categorization and influenced scores of popular musicians, from Elvis Presley and Little Richard to Bonnie Raitt, The Alabama Shakes, and Lizzo. The author draws on memories from more than 150 people who knew Tharpe, as well as scraps of information gleaned from newspapers, archives, and memorabilia, to piece together a story that forever alters our understanding of women in rock and of US popular music.

If you havent seen a Discovery Channel gold-hunting show, you might picture a gold prospector as a relic of the Wild West: a TNT-toting, bearded old man wildly swinging a pick on the hunt for nuggets, guided by old maps, superstition, legends and instinct. Its still predominantly a mans world, and still often fanatical, but these days the golden dream attracts people from all walks of life - and 25-year-old Tyler Mahoney (Australian star of the Discovery Channels Gold Rush series) is leading the way.Hailing from Kalgoorlie, Tyler is a fourth-generation gold miner and has seen up close how gold fever makes normally reasonable people do the most irrational things. From mysterious corpses in the desert to huge heists, backstabbings to life-changing finds, Tyler unearths hair-raising stories and legends from Australias gold prospecting past and present, while sharing her experience forging her way in a traditionally male domain. She writes candidly about the push and pull of the gold world in her own life, as well as her struggles with bipolar disorder - a mental-health challenge that in some ways parallels the feast-or-famine nature of prospecting itself. With humour, grit and an infectious zest for life, gold digger Tyler Mahoney stakes her claim.
