Book excerpt: When Clara Davis grew tired of her stodgy husband Harold, she came up with an inspired plan: Why not fake her own death? And why not be paid for being dead? After all, wealthy Harold wouldn't remain a widower long, and when he remarried, Clara would demand a handsome payment to disappear and stay dead. Then when Clara spotted a woman on the street who was almost her double, she knew this was her chance...and a week later the body of a different "Clara Davis" was pulled from the river -- and the real Clara, now "Miss Solda Carmadine," had a new life. Meanwhile, Sergeant Morris of the Missing Persons Bureau had an uneasy feeling about the dead Mrs. Clara Davis and was quietly trying to answer some of his own questions. There was one little item that bothered him...and he wouldn't let go until he unravelled the mystery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new account of one of Rome's most relentless but least understood foes. Claiming Alexander the Great and Darius of Persia as ancestors, Mithradates inherited a wealthy Black Sea kingdom at age fourteen after his mother poisoned his father. He fled into exile and returned in triumph to become a ruler of superb intelligence and fierce ambition. Hailed as a savior by his followers and feared as a second Hannibal by his enemies, he envisioned a grand Eastern empire to rival Rome. After massacring eighty thousand Roman citizens in 88 BC, he seized Greece and modern-day Turkey. Fighting some of the most spectacular battles in ancient history, he dragged Rome into a long round of wars and threatened to invade Italy itself. His uncanny ability to elude capture and surge back after devastating losses unnerved the Romans, while his mastery of poisons allowed him to foil assassination attempts and eliminate rivals.--From publisher description.

Download or read book At Home and in the Field written by Suzanne S. Finney and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossing disciplinary boundaries, At Home and in the Field is an anthology of twenty-first century ethnographic research and writing about the global worlds of home and disjuncture in Asia and the Pacific Islands. These stories reveal novel insights into the serendipitous nature of fieldwork. Unique in its inclusion of "homework"—ethnography that directly engages with issues and identities in which the ethnographer finds political solidarity and belonging in fields at home—the anthology contributes to growing trends that complicate the distinction between "insiders" and "outsiders." The obligations that fieldwork engenders among researchers and local communities are exemplified by contributors who are often socially engaged with the peoples and places they work. In its focus on Asia and the Pacific Islands, the collection offers ethnographic updates on topics that range from ritual money burning in China to the militarization of Hawai'i to the social role of text messages in identifying marriage partners in Vanuatu to the cultural power of robots in Japan. Thought provoking, sometimes humorous, these cultural encounters will resonate with readers and provide valuable talking points for exploring the human diversity that makes the study of ourselves and each other simultaneously rewarding and challenging.
