The Nine must return... In one night, the world is struck by a plague of psychic terror. Alien abductions, demon torture and faery glamour lead to mass casualties, as 1% of the population are called to become shaman, intercessors between the spirit world and humanity. Humanity will obey... In the chaos, the lives of four people collide. Unemployed artist, Kel Rodrigues, is one of those chosen to learn the shamanic way. His sister, Dr. Jen Rodrigues, is left running a psychic research institute in the middle of a mental health crisis. Lethe, a stage-show medium, must escape from deep within the spirit world where she was lured by Atumhotep, the herald of The Nine. Meanwhile Harry Wallace, framed for a terror attack in Edinburgh, uncovers corruption and conspiracy in Britain’s shadowy espionage community, and a deep global threat. Together, they must stop the return of The Ennead: the Ancient Egyptian Gods, who have coveted the Earth for millennia.
In this first detailed study of hull fastenings, Michael McCarthy describes those found on ships throughout the ages, from sewn-plank boats of the ancient world and Micronesia to Viking ships, Mediterranean caravels, nineteenth-century ocean clippers, and steamships. McCarthy also provides a history of many discoveries and innovations that accompanied changes in the kinds of fastenings used and the way they were secured--such as copper sheathing, metallurgy, and welding. Underwriting and insurance are also discussed, since the registries kept by Lloyd's and others dictated the form and method of fastening. This book will interest not only archaeologists and historians, but also boat builders and enthusiasts.
This volume from the SAA Press examines the impact of looting and the use of artifacts of unknown provenance in the humanities and social sciences, ranging from the impact of amnesty laws for reporting stolen cultural property to the use of Google Earth to assess the scale of illicit excavations, and from the impact of poorly sourced artifacts on early Mycenaean and Minoan studies to the structure of the growing commercial trade in ancient coins.

North American Society for Oceanic History John Lyman Book Award in Naval and Maritime Reference Works and Published Primary Sources - Honorable Mention In this innovative study, Jun Kimura integrates historical data with archaeological findings to examine a wide array of eleventh- through nineteenth-century ships from China, Korea, and Japan. Chinese junks and Japanese sailing ships were known throughout the world, and this work illustrates why their innovative designs have survived the centuries. Kimura presents an extensive dataset of excavated coastal and oceangoing ships that traveled the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea. Three detailed case studies include the Shinan and Quanzhou wrecks and the Takashima underwater site. Using travel documents, cargo manifests, iconographic paintings, and other descriptive resources, as well as the archaeological evidence of hull components, wooden timbers, and iron remains, Kimura sheds new light on East Asian shipbuilding traditions.
