Shedding the Shackles
A celebration of female inventiveness and aesthetic sensibility, Shedding the Shackles explores women's craft enterprises, their artisanal excellence, and the positive impact their individual projects have on breaking the poverty cycle. In the first part of the twentieth century, suffering from a legacy inherited from the Victorian era, craft skills, such as weaving, sewing, embroidery, and quilting were regarded largely as women's domestic pastimes, and remained undervalued and marginalised. It has taken several decades for attitudes to change, for the boundaries between 'fine art' and craft to blur, and for textile crafts to be given the same respect and recognition as other media. Featuring artisans and projects from across the globe Shedding the Shackles celebrates their vision and motivation giving a fascinating glimpse into how these craft initiatives have created a sustainable lifestyle, and impacted upon their communities at a deeper level.
Defining Spaces in Iron Age Northumberland
The Iron Age settlements excavated by Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd at Morley Hill and Lower Callerton lie within the rich later prehistoric landscape of the Northumberland coastal plain. This monograph presents the results of the excavation, specialist analyses and provides a key dataset upon which to discuss regionally and nationally important later prehistoric research themes. The excavations at Morley Hill and Lower Callerton offer two large-scale new datasets to compare within the corpus of enclosed Iron Age settlement sites across the region, allowing for an increased understanding of settlement patterns, architectural forms and farming practices. These include settlement development, ...
Luminol Theory
Representations of forensic procedures saturate popular culture in both fiction and true crime. One of the most striking forensic tools used in these narratives is the chemical luminol, so named because it glows an eerie greenish-blue when it comes into contact with the tiniest drops of human blood.Luminol is a deeply ambivalent object: it is both a tool of the police, historically abused and misappropriated, and yet it offers hope to families of victims by allowing hidden crimes to surface. Forensic enquiry can exonerate those falsely accused of crimes, and yet the rise of forensic science is synonymous with the development of the deeply racist 'science' of eugenics.Luminol Theory investiga...

The Thames Through Time
The Thames Valley offers one of the richest resources of archaeological data in the country. This volume providesd a detailed overview of the late Iron Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods in the Upper and Middle Thames Valley, from the source of the river in Gloucestershire to the start of the tidal zone at Teddington Lock. Following a thematic structure, it offers an up to date account of the changing environment of the valley, evolving settlement patterns, the identity, beliefs and culture of the valley's inhabitants, their agriculture and industry, and the archaeology of power and politics in the region. Much of the evidence has been recovered during extensive gravel quarrying.
Driveway Wars
Small towns are funny places. Don't be fooled by their undisturbed beauty, they are not pristine. Give people the opportunity for a perfect utopia, they will destroy it. A town can be spoiled by too many businesses, traffic lights, and, above all, citizens. That is where the rot may not merely exist but thrive. The Thomases have lived in Thornwood, New Hampshire, most of their lives, same as their neighbors. But given the ebb and flow of life, they have seen citizens come and go. Some exit with tears, others with a hard push. One particular neighbor was unnoticed to them for years until the introduction of an unruly dog. The altercations were not only ongoing and worsening but widening. Other neighbors and the police were getting tangled in a feud that Brian and Sharon Thomas thought should never have escalated to such a level. And when it couldn't even get resolved at that level before lawyers and courts got involved, Sharon Thomas took it upon herself to handle it. The way she handled things all her life. Families pitted against one another, out in the woods is not a good combination. Even the Hatfields and McCoys had to start somewhere.
