Martin Oswald Hugh Carver, "Making Archaeology Happen: Design versus Dogma"
English | ISBN: 1611320240 | 2011 | 184 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
'Archaeology is for people' is the theme of this book. Split between the academic and commercial sectors, archaeological investigation is also deeply embedded in the needs of local communities, making it simultaneously an art, science and social science. Such a multi-disciplinary discipline needs special methods and creative freedom, not repetitive responses. Carver argues that commercial procedures and academic theory are both suffocating creativity in fieldwork. He'd like to see us bring much more diversity and technical ingenuity to every opportunity, and maintains this is more a matter of getting ourselves free of dogma than needing more time and money. This has many implications for the way archaeology is designed and procured - moving archaeologists up the professional ladder from builder to architect, with contracts based on quality of design, not the price.

Nick Redfern, "MAN-MONKEY - In Search of the British Bigfoot"
English | ISBN: 1905723164 | 2007 | 164 pages | AZW3 | 655 KB
In her 1883 book, Shropshire Folklore, Charlotte S. Burne wrote: 'A very weird story of an encounter with an animal ghost arose of late years within my knowledge. On the 21st of January 1879, a labouring man was employed to take a cart of luggage from Ranton in Staffordshire to Woodcock, beyond Newport in Shropshire, for the ease of a party of visitors who were going from one house to another. He was late in coming back; his horse was tired, and could only crawl along at a foot's pace, so that it was ten o'clock at night when he arrived at the place where the highroad crosses the Birmingham and Liverpool canal. 'Just before he reached the canal bridge, a strange black creature with great white eyes sprang out of the plantation by the roadside and alighted on his horse's back. He tried to push it off with his whip, but to his horror the whip went through the thing, and he dropped it on the ground in fright.' The creature duly became known to superstitious and frightened locals as the Man-Monkey. Between 1986 and early 2001, Nick Redfern delved deeply into the mystery of the strange creature of that dark stretch of canal. Now,published for the very first time, are Nick's original interview notes, his files and discoveries; as well as his theories pertaining to what lies at the heart of this diabolical legend. Is Britain really home to a Bigfoot-style entity? Does the creature have supernatural origins? Or is it something else entirely? Nick Redfern addresses all of these questions in Man-Monkey and reveals a story that is as bizarre as it is macabre.

Love & Theft: Blackface Minstrelsy and the American Working Class (Race and American Culture), 20th Anniversary Edition by Eric Lott
English | August 9, 2013 | ISBN: 0195320557 | True EPUB | 352 pages | 4.7 MB
For over two centuries, America has celebrated the same African-American culture it attempts to control and repress, and nowhere is this phenomenon more apparent than in the strange practice of blackface performance. Born of extreme racial and class conflicts, the blackface minstrel show appropriated black dialect, music, and dance; at once applauded and lampooned black culture; and, ironically, contributed to a "blackening of America."

Liberating Belsen Concentration Camp - A personal account by (former) Lt-Colonel Leonard Berney R.A. T.D. a senior British Army officer who participated in the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp. Berney went on to oversee the evacuation of the ex-prisoners to the vast Rehabilitation Camp that the British Army set up, and was then appointed as the Commandant of that Camp until its management was handed over to the United Nations. He went on to give evidence against the SS guards at the Belsen War Crimes Trial. This is the only book to be published that recounts the events that led up to the British Army's uncovering of the Nazi Concentration Camp and its 60,000 prisoners. It describes how the Army dealt with the unprecedented horror that existed in the camp, how the surviving inmates were evacuated and how the Royal Army Medical Corps established the world's largest ever hospital to care for the many thousands of sick and emaciated ex-inmates. It continues with how the survivors were rehabilitated and cared for, how they were repatriated to their own countries, why many thousand refused to return 'home', and the eventual establishment of the Belsen Displaced Persons camp, the largest DP camp in Germany. Forewords by Nanette Blitz Konig, Belsen survivor and former classmate of Anne Frank, and by Major-General Nicholas Eeles CBE, with the introduction by the OscarВ®-nominated film director, Joshua Oppenheimer.

Robert E Bacharach, "Legal Writing: A Judge's Perspective on the Science and Rhetoric of the Written Word"
English | ISBN: 1641056592 | 2020 | pages | AZW3 | 632 KB
"A magnificent book on writing. Drawing on the lessons from psycholinguistics and rhetoric, Judge Bacharach has written a remarkably practical book on how to write effectively. Judge Bacharach illustrates his points with very specific suggestions and countless examples from briefs from top lawyers and opinions of judges. I learned so much from this wonderful book." - Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean, Berkeley School of Law "Effective legal writing calls not only for artistry but also for scientific understanding." In this synthesis of his experience on the bench and his own research into the science and art of written communications, Robert E. Bacharach, a federal court judge, shares his insights on ways language can determine different responses - and how to use this knowledge to craft a powerful and persuasive message. Judge Bacharach follows a logical progression in crafting effective legal writing, beginning with the importance of an introduction that provides a context for the argument. At this stage, it is important to consider clarity, context, identification of the underlying legal issues, the structure of your argument, and stating the rationale for the optimum outcome.

Intimacy on the Internet: Media Representations of Online Connections By Lauren Rosewarne
2016 | 270 Pages | ISBN: 1138824178 | PDF | 3 MB
The focus of this book is on the media representations of the use of the Internet in seeking intimate connections―be it a committed relationship, a hook-up, or a community in which to dabble in fringe sexual practices. Popular culture (film, narrative television, the news media, and advertising) present two very distinct pictures of the use of the Internet as related to intimacy. From news reports about victims of online dating, to the presentation of the desperate and dateless, the perverts and the deviants, a distinct frame for the intimacy/Internet connection is negativity. In some examples however, a changing picture is emerging. The ubiquitousness of Internet use today has meant a slow increase in comparatively more positive representations of successful online romances in the news, resulting in more positive-spin advertising and a more even-handed presence of such liaisons in narrative television and film. Both the positive and the negative media representations are categorised and analysed in this book to explore what they reveal about the intersection of gender, sexuality, technology and the changing mores regarding intimacy.

Ideology and Organization in Indian Politics examines the immense changes that have occurred in Indian politics over the past decade and its impact on the Indian National Congress.
