Jew's Harps in European Archaeology
The subject of this monograph is the archaeology of the jew's harp in Europe. It is based on archaeological finds collected from various sources and compiled into a database.

The Jews-Harp in Britain and Ireland
The jews-harp is a distinctive musical instrument of international importance, yet it remains one of those musical instruments, like the ocarina, kazoo or even the art of whistling, that travels beneath the established musical radar. The story of the jews-harp is also part of our musical culture, though it has attracted relatively little academic study. Britain and Ireland played a significant role in the instrument‘s manufacture and world distribution, particularly during the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries.

Law and the Visual
In Law and the Visual, leading legal theorists, art historians, and critics come together to present new work examining the intersection between legal and visual discourses. Proceeding chronologically, the volume offers leading analyses of the juncture between legal and visual culture as witnessed from the fifteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Editor Desmond Manderson provides a contextual introduction that draws out and articulates three central themes: visual representations of the law, visual technologies in the law, and aesthetic critiques of law. A ground breaking contribution to an increasingly vibrant field of inquiry, Law and the Visual will inform the debate on the relationship between legal and visual culture for years to come.
Performance in Beowulf and Other Old English Poems
Acts of performance, such as music, storytelling, and poetry recital, have made significant contributions to the rediscovery and widening popularity of Old English poetry. However, while these performances capture the imagination, they also influence an audience's view of the world of the original poems, even to propagating certain assumptions, particularly those to do with performance practices. By stripping away these assumptions, this book aims to uncover the ways in which representations of performance in Old English poetry are intimately associated with poetic production and fundamental cultural concerns. Through an examination of Beowulf, diverse wisdom poems, and the "artist" poems De...
Interrogation Point
This work is a Hᴀꜱᴛᴇ Corporation Safework: acceptable for temporal export for all years later than 2███. It also complies with the Laramie Convention of 2███. See front matter for details. Around the time of the 2███ presidential inauguration, sporadic incidents of tone-triggered self-defecation occurred in California communities located between San Francisco and Los Angeles. A week later, members of the deaf community and blind community in particular parts of California experienced their conditions spontaneously disappearing. Then came February, with sleepy, isolated towns taken over for a night with some strange changes, each different from the other, but none with a known cause. Denizens awoke with nary a memory of the events that transformed their towns the night before. Fall into the Interrogation Point and learn how by 4 July the president, alongside the leaders of the earth, called out for a world government. Read about Humanity to the People, those watching their world in the fits of a derangement of society.
