Funerary Practices in the Second Half of the Second Millennium BC in Continental Atlantic Europe
Funerary Practices in the Second Half of the Second Millennium BC in Continental Atlantic Europepresents a selection of essays dedicated to funerary practices from Belgium to the north of Portugal. It aims at filling gaps in the documentation and helping to better understand the relationships between these Atlantic regions during the Bronze Age. Our knowledge of the Atlantic Bronze Age has increased considerably over the last thirty years, but the current state of research varies from one region to another of Western Atlantic Europe, with a marked dichotomy between north and south. The volume not only highlights the cultural characteristics of those Atlantic regions that are poorly represented in European syntheses on the Bronze Age, but also establishes the long-term relationships, if any, that were maintained between the regions of the Southern Atlantic area and those of the Northern Atlantic area.
The Bell Beaker Transition in Europe
Could the circulation of objects or ideas and the mobility of artisans explain the unprecedented uniformity of the material culture observed throughout the whole of Europe? The 17 papers presented here offer a range of new and different perspectives on the Beaker phenomenon across Europe. The focus is not on Bell Beaker pottery but on social groups (craft specialists, warriors, chiefs, extended or nuclear families), using technological studies and physical anthropology to understand mobility patterns during the 3rd millennium BC. Chronological evolution is used to reconstruct the rhythm of Bell Beaker diffusion and the environmental background that could explain this mobility and the socioec...

Gefangenenloskauf im Mittelmeerraum
Der Loskauf von Sklaven und Gefangenen hat den Mittelmeerraum von der Antike bis in die Frühe Neuzeit geprägt. Er stellt, eng verbunden mit der Geschichte der Sklaverei, nicht nur verschiedene Facetten des Bemühens um deren Beseitigung dar, sondern ist darüber hinaus auch selbst ein entscheidender Bestandteil verschiedener Konflikt- und Beziehungsgeschichten. Die vierzehn Beiträge dieses Sammelbandes, die auf eine von der DFG geförderte internationale Tagung im September 2013 in Paderborn zurückgehen, betrachten die Thematik erstmalig unter der vorrangigen Fragestellung nach der Bedeutung von Religion. Sie untersuchen epochenübergreifend und aus jüdischer, christlicher und muslimisc...
The Timeless Present
Mary Barnett blames her miserable existence on her obnoxious cousin Elise, including her own failure to know God. Steeping herself in the past, believing in it an answer to all her problems, she enthusiastically volunteers as a tour guide through an historical manor, only to find her love of history and her problems converge in a frightening and unexpected way. In an unpredictable answer to prayer, Mary is transported in time to 1869 to the small town of Cobbs' Landing, miles from nowhere. The past is not what she expected. Her former life was hard. This one is even harder and the God she wishes to know is no babysitter. None of her eighteen years of knowledge is relevant. The people are blunt and strong natured. No one excuses her misdeeds; the responsibility is placed squarely on her shoulders. The Timeless Present is the story of Mary's journey to knowing God....
The True Love Experiment
Felicity "Fizzy" Chen is lost. Sure, she's got an incredible career as a beloved romance novelist with a slew of bestsellers under her belt, but when she's asked to give a commencement address, it hits her: she hasn't been practicing what she's preached. Fizzy hasn't ever really been in love. Lust? Definitely. But that swoon-worthy, can't-stop-thinking-about-him, all-encompassing feeling? Nope. Nothing. What happens when the optimism she's spent her career encouraging in readers starts to feel like a lie? Connor Prince, documentary filmmaker and single father, loves his work in large part because it allows him to live near his daughter. But when his profit-minded boss orders him to create a ...
Les Soeurs de Napoléon Tome 2 : Pauline
Les sœurs de Napoléon ont eu une influence beaucoup plus grande qu'on ne le croit généralement sur la marche des événements pendant le règne de leur frère. « Tout parti périt par les femmes », a dit Michelet ; le régime impérial doit en partie sa chute aux sœurs de Napoléon. C’est l'une d'elles, Caroline, qui est la cause originelle directe des désastres de l'Empire ; c'est elle aussi qui, en 1814, donna le coup de grâce à l'empereur, à la France. Ce n'est donc pas pour le vulgaire plaisir d'étaler aux yeux du public les faiblesses et les scandales de la vie de ces courtisanes couronnées qui furent les sœurs de Napoléon, que j'ai écrit ce livre, mais c'est pour déterminer la part de responsabilité qui revient à chacune d'elles dans la chute de l'édifice construit par « l'homme des siècles. » (Extrait de la préface) Tome 1 : Elisa Tome 2 : Pauline Tome 3 : Caroline
