Download or read book Pagan Tribes of the Nilotic Sudan written by C. G. Seligman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1932, Pagan Tribes of the Nilotic Sudan is a general conspectus of the people, traditions, culture, and ways of thought in southern Sudan. The authors give their view of the remote racial origins of the people with whom their studies are concerned and then of the great sub-racial units whom they class as ‘dolichocephals’ and ‘mesaticephals’ respectively. The former comprise, first, the Nilotes – Shilluk, Nuer and Dinka, who live and move and have their being in an atmosphere of cattle, and who, it is thought, had their cradleland somewhere east of the Great Lakes – and, second, the Nilo-Hamites, such as the true Bari, various Lotuko-speaking tribes, etc. The mesaticephals consist of the Fung-Nuba peoples on the one hand and, on the other, the South-Western group of whom Azande are the best known. Exceptional interest is attached to the research conducted among the Bari. The social organization of this tribe is complex and curious, particularly their beliefs regarding rain-stones, rainmakers and clouds. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this republication. This book will be of interest to students of history, anthropology, ethnography, and ethnic studies.

But Honeysett is sidetracked from the investigation by the sudden disappearance of his life drawing model, Verity Lake. Commandeering a narrowboat and heading down the Kennet & Avon canal, he hopes to kill two birds with one stone, by tracking down Henry Blinkhorn and also discovering what’s happened to Verity. But it soon becomes clear that someone else is on Honeysett’s trail. Who are they ... and what are they really after?
Download or read book An Inch of Time written by Peter Helton and published by Severn House/ORIM. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The case of a missing supermarket employee takes the British PI and penniless artist from Bath to the Island of Corfu in this “puzzling . . . dizzy” mystery (Publishers Weekly). Chris Honeysett, an uninspired artist and lone proprietor of Aqua Investigations, leaps at the chance to leave his cold and damp rural cottage in Bath, England for the cozy warmth of Corfu, Greece. The job comes at the behest of a supermarket magnate whose most valued team member, Kyla Biggs, has disappeared while on holiday on the sunny Greek island. All Honeysett has to do is bring his lightest Mediterranean summer wear, learn a little Greek, and find her. What could possibly go wrong? For starters, he looks up his old art teacher, Morva, who seems to have a stalker intent on killing her. On top of that, locals go strangely quiet when it comes to Kyla. For Honeysett, this all-expense-paid “vacation” is looking more dangerous by the minute. But for readers—“who wouldn’t want to spend a fortnight in Corfu with the droll Honeysett and his chums?” (Kirkus Reviews).
Download or read book Indelible written by Peter Helton and published by Severn House Publishers Ltd. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this series debut, an art school teaching gig turns into a high-stakes murder investigation and a “fun-filled romp through the art-strewn countryside” (Booklist). Against his better judgement, laidback painter and private investigator Chris Honeysett has accepted a role as tutor at the Bath Arts Academy and agreed to take part in an exhibition. But preparations are disrupted by a series of peculiar events: a naked, wild-haired figure is glimpsed running through the woods; strange symbols are carved onto trees and gateposts; a metal sculpture takes on a mysterious life of its own. The incidents, which are initially assumed to be student pranks, escalate in menace, until one of Honeysett’s fellow exhibitors lies dead—and Honeysett finds himself the prime murder suspect. It’s clear that someone is trying to frame him. But who? And why? Full charming local color and eccentric yet believable characters, Indelible is a “suspenseful, well-plotted” chapter in a British cozy mystery series that’s “a lot of fun” (Publishers Weekly). “A jam-packed Hieronymus Bosch canvas filled with the good, the bad and the just plain wacky.” —Kirkus Reviews

Meanwhile, DI Kat Fairfield and DS Jack Sorbie are tasked with finding the daughter of a prominent Italian politician, who has disappeared while on a student exchange programme at Bristol University. Neither is overjoyed to be lumbered with a routine missing person’s case while McLusky heads a high-profile murder investigation. Until they find a dead body of their own...

Book excerpt: The English PI with “a biting wit” returns to dig up the dirty secrets of a celebrity archaeologist in this delightful mystery series (Kirkus Reviews). Being a bodyguard isn’t Chris Honeysett’s thing. He’s more of a destitute artist type. But he’s also an out-of-work private investigator working from a tiny cottage in Bath. So when he’s offered a gig babysitting Guy Middleton, he figures a check is a check. Famous for his archaeology-based reality show, Middleton has been receiving death threats. And his latest shoot—uncovering the treasures of a local historic mansion—might give his stalker fans easier access than normal. Could someone really want him dead? As Honeysett gets to the know the haughty, disagreeable star, he begins to wonder who wouldn’t. But the menace only escalates when more than Roman remains are unearthed on the mansion grounds. Now it’s Honeysett’s job to connect the crimes of the past with those promised for the near future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unconventional Detective Inspector Liam McLusky is plunged into a major murder investigation in this gritty police procedural series. On his first day back at work following his suspension, DI McLusky finds himself in the midst of a major murder enquiry when a body is discovered in the canal at Netham Lock. Chained, weighted down, tied to a buoy by the neck, it has all the hallmarks of a premeditated, ritualistic killing. As he questions those who knew the victim in an attempt to uncover the dead woman’s secrets, McLusky’s investigations are disrupted by the discovery of a second body. Bound and gagged like the first – but there are differences. If McLusky could only work out what connects the victims, he would be one step closer to catching the killer – and preventing more deaths. Meanwhile, his rival DI Kat Fairfield is pursuing a routine investigation which takes a decidedly sinister turn ...
Download or read book Alur Society written by Aidan Southall and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2004 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alur Society became a classic for a number of reasons. Being much more than a descriptive account of an African society, it was the first intensive ethnography to adopt the ideas of Max Weber. It pioneered the idea that religion and ritual could be the basis of political action. It also showed how state systems could evolve not just on the basis of conquest but as a result of societies without kings inviting those with kings to govern them. Author Aidan Southall's theory of the segmentary state was adopted by political anthropologists throughout the subject and also by political scientists, being applied not just to Africa but also to India and other parts of the world. The book was able to arrive at such long-lasting and imaginative conclusions through the use of ethnographic material of a quality rarely surpassed. It is moreover arguably the best book in social anthropology of a Nilotic-speaking people. Southall's own command of their language and his overall scholarly knowledge of Nilotes is also unsurpassed.
