Ages and Abilities: The Stages of Childhood and their Social Recognition in Prehistoric Europe and Beyond
This volume explores social responses to stages of childhood from the late Neolithic to Classical Antiquity in Central Europe and the Mediterranean. Comparing osteological and archaeological evidence, as well as integrating images and texts, authors consider whether childhood age classes are archaeologically recognizable.
EL MARMOR EN HISPANIA: EXPLOTACIÓN, USO Y DIFUSIÓN EN ÉPOCA ROMANA
El presente volumen nace del proyecto de investigación sobre el yacimiento de Carranque (Toledo) que viene desarrollándose desde hace años en el marco de las excavaciones sistemáticas subvencionadas por la Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha. La excepcionalidad cualitativa y cuantitativa de los marmora documentados en dicho yacimiento, de donde provienen decenas de miles de fragmentos procedentes de las más importantes canteras del arco mediterráneo (Anatolia, Grecia insular y peninsular, Egipto, Tunicia, Hispania), hacen de Carranque uno de los escenarios más interesantes donde analizar el fenómeno del uso del marmor en época romana. En este libro se recogen dieciséis aportaciones de destacados investigadores, nacionales e internacionales, que se ocupan de cuestiones referentes a la explotación, comercio, distribución y uso del marmor en época romana. El estudio de los materiales lapídeos procedentes de canteras hispanas ha experimentado un importante impulso en los últimos años y a él se vienen dedicando diversos proyectos y trabajos de investigación cuyos resultados se incluyen en estas páginas.
La Civilización Romana
La Civilización Romana ofrece al lector un estudio transversal de los elementos más característicos y definitorios de la cultura y la civilización romana, desde sus inicios hasta la Antigüedad tardía, proporcionando una visión amplia sobre el conjunto de la sociedad en el mundo romano antiguo. Este enfoque transversal, sin embargo, no impide la contextualización de cada uno de estos elementos en su momento histórico, de manera que de la lectura del libro se extrae la imagen de un mundo en evolución que sufre numerosas transformaciones en los planos ideológico, cultural y material.
Manaschi
Finalist, Prix Jan Michalski de Littérature 2023 Shortlisted, EBRD Literature Prize 2022 In his latest tragicomedy Hamid Ismailov interrogates the interaction between tradition and modernity, myth and reality. A radio presenter interprets one of his dreams as an initiation by the world of spirits into the role of a Manaschi, a Kyrgyz bard and shaman who recites and performs the epic poem, Manas, and is revered as someone connected with supernatural forces. Travelling to his native mountainous village, populated by Tajiks and Kyrgyz, and unravelling his personal and national history, our hero Bekesh instead witnesses a full re-enactment of the epic's wrath. Following on from the award winning The Devils' Dance and Of Strangers and Bees, this is the third and final book in Ismailov's informal Central Asia trilogy.

Dark Prisms
The mythological, folkloric, and religious beliefs of Western culture have resulted in a long and ongoing history of esoteric themes in theatre from the Middle Ages to the present in Spain and the America. Now Robert Lima, a noted comparatist, brings to bear on this material his wide knowledge of the world of the occult. Lima defines the terms "occult" and "occultism" broadly to embrace the many ways in which humans have sought to fathom a secret knowledge held to be accessible only through such supernatural agencies as alchemy, angelology, asceticism, astrology, demonolatry, divination, ecstasy, magic, necromancy, possession, Santeria, séances, voudoun, and witchcraft. The dramatic works covered range from medieval materializations of Hell to the Golden Age plays of Lope de vega, Tirso de Molina, and Calderón de la Barca, to modern stage works by Valle-Inclán, García Lorca, Casona, Miras, and a number of significant Afro-Brazilian and Caribbean dramatists. The concluding comprehensive bibliography of the drama of the occult is invaluable.
Totem
A land of history, magic and legend.... Sarah Cooley, 14, and her friends want to return to Bear Valley in Olympic National Park before Buckhorn begins mining erbium, a substance rumored to detoxify coal.

Victoria Oldsea, Buckhorn's project manager, hopes to take her son Jared camping as a break from work before the mining begins. A terrible windstorm upends everything. Strange, inexplicable animals appear. Ancient visions of an ancient people, perhaps dreams, possibly memory, are reported. Are the Olympics more mysterious than anyone knows? Does the answer lie in Bear Valley? Totem is the third and concluding tale in the Strong Heart series, starting in Strong Heart, continuing in Adrift, and now following Sarah Cooley and her friends to an astounding conclusion as they face conflict, danger, mythical legend, and ancient truth.
Finding Afro-Mexico
In 2015, the Mexican state counted how many of its citizens identified as Afro-Mexican for the first time since independence. Finding Afro-Mexico reveals the transnational interdisciplinary histories that led to this celebrated reformulation of Mexican national identity. It traces the Mexican, African American, and Cuban writers, poets, anthropologists, artists, composers, historians, and archaeologists who integrated Mexican history, culture, and society into the African Diaspora after the Revolution of 1910. Theodore W. Cohen persuasively shows how these intellectuals rejected the nineteenth-century racial paradigms that heralded black disappearance when they made blackness visible first in Mexican culture and then in post-revolutionary society. Drawing from more than twenty different archives across the Americas, this cultural and intellectual history of black visibility, invisibility, and community-formation questions the racial, cultural, and political dimensions of Mexican history and Afro-diasporic thought.
