Book excerpt: The result of decades of research, A Green Band in a Parched and Burning Land presents a thorough and detailed understanding of the Sobaipuri O’odham—arguably the most influential and powerful Indigenous group in southern Arizona in the terminal prehistoric and early historic periods, yet one of the least understood and under-studied to have occupied the region. Deni J. Seymour combines historical sources with fresh archaeological data and oral history to reveal an astonishingly different view of, and revise conventional wisdom around, the native history of the region. First and foremost irrigation farmers, the Sobaipuri O’odham permanently occupied verdant strips along all the major rivers in the region—including the headwaters of the San Pedro and various other areas thought to be beyond their domain. Seymour draws on career-spanning fieldwork, conversations with direct descendants (the O’odham residents of Wa:k), and recent breakthroughs in archaeological, ethnographic, and ethnohistorical research to shed light on their unique forms of landscape use, settlement patterns, and way of life. She details the building materials, linear site layout, and other elements of their singular archaeological signature; newly established dating for individual sites, complex building episodes, and occupational sequences; and evidence of cumulative village occupation as well as the habitation of river valleys and other locales long after supposed abandonment. The book also explains the key relationships between site distributions and landscape characteristics. Addressing some of the longest-standing archaeological and historical questions about the Sobaipuri O’odham, A Green Band in a Parched and Burning Land reorients the discussion of their crucial place in the history of the region in constructive new directions.

Book excerpt: An engrossing historical saga in the tradition of Evan Green and Wilbur Smith .477. a story as big as Australia. Matthew Curtis is born in Goulburn, New South Wales. He loses his parents and is brought up by struggling Scottish immigrants, Lorna and Andrew McLachlan, who try to prise a living from the raw new land. Restless by nature, and spurred by the deep antagonism of his foster-father, he leaves home -" and his first love, Catriona -" to work on a sheep run in the Port Phillip district. But not long after, gold is discovered in Victoria, and Matthew travels to the goldfields of Mount Alexander accompanied by Janice Honeyman, a generous, adventurous and beautiful woman desperate to escape the drudgery of the small town she was raised in. Success on the goldfields is not enough, however, and Matthew's restless spirit eventually sees him taking a mob of cattle into the unexplored Channel Country of south-west Queensland. But the inland is not only a place of wide open spaces and dramatic beauty: it is also a place where drought can ruin rich and poor alike, and where desperate men taking refuge from the law can prey on the unwary.477. A gripping picture of the danger, heartbreak, courage and passion experienced by Australia's pioneers.

Download or read book The Greater Chaco Landscape written by Ruth M. Van Dyke and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1970s, government agencies, scholars, tribes, and private industries have attempted to navigate potential conflicts involving energy development, Chacoan archaeological study, and preservation across the San Juan Basin. The Greater Chaco Landscape examines both the imminent threat posed by energy extraction and new ways of understanding Chaco Canyon⁠ and Chaco-era great houses and associated communities from southeast Utah to west-central New Mexico in the context of landscape archaeology. Contributors analyze many different dimensions of the Chacoan landscape and present the most effective, innovative, and respectful means of studying them, focusing on the significance of thousand-year-old farming practices; connections between early great houses outside the canyon and the rise of power inside it; changes to Chaco’s roads over time as observed in aerial imagery; rock art throughout the greater Chaco area; respectful methods of examining shrines, crescents, herraduras, stone circles, cairns, and other landscape features in collaboration with Indigenous colleagues; sensory experiences of ancient Chacoans via study of the sightlines and soundscapes of several outlier communities; and current legal, technical, and administrative challenges and options concerning preservation of the landscape. An unusually innovative and timely volume that will be available both in print and online, with the online edition incorporating video chapters presented by Acoma, Diné, Zuni, and Hopi cultural experts filmed on location in Chaco Canyon, The Greater Chaco Landscape is a creative collaboration with Native voices that will be a case study for archaeologists and others working on heritage management issues across the globe. It will be of interest to archaeologists specializing in Chaco and the Southwest, interested in remote sensing and geophysical landscape-level investigations, and working on landscape preservation and phenomenological investigations such as viewscapes and soundscapes.

Book excerpt: Nurtured by sorcery, fighting prowess enhanced by spells and protected against steel's, sharp edge by enchantments, Guardians of the TEMPLE OF EKKRAN venture across the known world in the service of their evil Deity. Agents of death and destruction, no kingdom or empire can bar their path in executing the will of fiendish Sorcerer-Priests in whose icy grip the Palahian Empire shivers in dread. First among the Guardians is Ral Thagus, Clique-Leader and Champion of the Priest Trelon, who is second only to the First-Priest Shakron, an evil mage plotting the demise of mankind. Forbidden to love, Ral gives his heart to a hostage noblewoman and is banished from the Temple. An Outcast, Ral finds himself on the distant High Plateau, a land rife with warfare, political intrigue,and betrayal; a region of many city-states and kingdoms ruled by the once honorable Arkhuns and their nobility, the Horselords, who worship sword-cults to which they owe a separate loyalty. It is a land overrun with mercenaries called Bloodspillers, swords bought by Arkhun gold. Forever hunted by his own Guardian brethren whom he must kill to survive, Ral is plunged into this maelstrom by the diabolical schemes of his former patrons.
