Deep Presence: 13,000 Years of Native American History

BasicBinding: Paperback

Author: Goodby, Robert G

Publisher: Robert G. Goodby

Date Published: 10-2021

ISBN: 1942155409 | EAN: 9781942155409

BasicBinding: Paperback

Features: Bibliography, Illustrated, Maps, Price on Product | Pages: 160

Annotation: Almost 13,000 years ago, small groups of Paleoindians endured frigid winters on the edge of a river in what would become Keene, New Hampshire. This begins the remarkable story of Native Americans in the Monadnock region of southwestern New Hampshire, part of the traditional homeland of the Abenaki people. Typically neglected or denied by conventional history, the long presence of Native people in southwestern New Hampshire is revealed by archaeological evidence for their deep, enduring connections to the land and the complex social worlds they inhabited. From the Tenant Swamp Site in Keene, with the remains of the oldest known dwellings in New England, to the 4,000-year-old Swanzey Fish Dam still visible in the Ashuelot River, A Deep Presence tells their story in a narrative fashion, drawing on the author's thirty years of fieldwork and presenting compelling evidence from archaeology, written history, and the living traditions of today's Abenaki people.

Can The Whole World Be Wrong?: Lethal Journalism, Antisemitism, and Global Jihad

BasicBinding: Paperback

Features: Price on Product, Bibliography, Index, Glossary | Pages: 550

Annotation:

Drawing on the dynamics of apocalyptic movements, Landes looks at the turn of the millennium in terms of a radical mismatch between two millennial styles, an Islamist pre-modern (Caliphators) and a Western post-modern (Woke). Due to a striking cognitive failure, Westerners could neither see nor discuss the foe they faced, and repeatedly, convinced they were bending the arc of history towards justice, took sharp wrong turns.

Uncovering History: Archaeological Investigations at the Little Bighorn

Date Published: 10-2014

ISBN: 0806146621 | EAN: 9780806146621

BasicBinding: Paperback

Pages: 264

Annotation:

Almost as soon as the last shot was fired in the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the battlefield became an archaeological site. For many years afterward, as fascination with the famed 1876 fight intensified, visitors to the area scavenged the many relics left behind. It took decades, however, before researchers began to tease information from the battle's debris--and the new field of battlefield archaeology began to emerge. In Uncovering History, renowned archaeologist Douglas D. Scott offers a comprehensive account of investigations at the Little Bighorn, from the earliest collecting efforts to early-twentieth-century findings.
