This thesis describes the application of state-of-the-art high-energy X-ray studies to the astronomical quest for understanding obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN). These AGN are supermassive black holes growing by accretion of matter located in the nuclei of galaxies. The material that feeds these black holes also obscures them from view, rendering them challenging to study. It is possible to study them by effectively 'X-raying' galactic nuclei to peer through these obscuring veils. Beginning with the proof-of-concept application of novel X-ray Monte Carlo codes to the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope ARray (NuSTAR) spectrum of a known heavily obscured AGN, the thesis establishes the relev...

The people of the glens, who have lived there peacefully in their crofts and farms for hundreds of years, do not wish to go. That was the essential conflict of the Highland Clearances, a dark and distressing time in Scottish history. But in Year of the Sheep, James Y. Bartlett’s sweeping retelling of the Clearances in Sutherland in Scotland’s far North, the conflict is even starker: Both the clan chief and the people fighting back were women. For Elizabeth Gordon, 19th chief of Clan Sutherland, replacing the people ...
