To Know Where He Lies
In the aftermath of the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, the discovery of unmarked mass graves revealed Europe's worst atrocity since World War II: the genocide in the UN "safe area" of Srebrenica. To Know Where He Lies provides a powerful account of the innovative genetic technology developed to identify the eight thousand Bosnian Muslim (Bosniak) men and boys found in those graves and elsewhere, demonstrating how memory, imagination, and science come together to recover identities lost to genocide. Sarah E. Wagner explores technology's import across several areas of postwar Bosnian society—for families of the missing, the Srebrenica community, the Bosnian political leadership (including Serb and Muslim), and international aims of social repair—probing the meaning of absence itself.

Sarah T.: Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic
Sarah T. is only one of America's 500,000 teenage alcoholics. Based on the Universal Television Production. Teen-age problem drinkers are not just young adults of legal age. Many are alcoholics at 12 and 13, and some even sooner. They’re raiding their parents’ liquor cabinets . . . bribing older friends to buy it for them. Young girls are trading sex for it. Sarah T.: Portrait Of A Teenage Alcoholic takes both a shocking and compassionate look at the growing problem of adolescent liquor abuse . . . and the desperate need for rehabilitation.
Seals and Sealing in the Ancient World
Studies of seals and sealing practices have traditionally investigated aspects of social, political, economic, and ideological systems in ancient societies throughout the Old World. Previously, scholarship has focused on description and documentation, chronology and dynastic histories, administrative function, iconography, and style. More recent studies have emphasized context, production and use, and increasingly, identity, gender, and the social lives of seals, their users, and the artisans who produced them. Using several methodological and theoretical perspectives, this volume presents up-to-date research on seals that is comparative in scope and focus. The cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach advances our understanding of the significance of an important class of material culture of the ancient world. The volume will serve as an essential resource for scholars, students, and others interested in glyptic studies, seal production and use, and sealing practices in the Ancient Near East, Egypt, Ancient South Asia and the Aegean during the 4th-2nd Millennia BCE.
Deadwind Sea
No one could believe their eyes when Sergio, the unluckiest shepherd in the village, married Ivette, the most beautiful woman in Spain. But when Ivette dies six days after their wedding, Sergio embarks on a fantastic voyage across the Western Sea to bring her back from the Land of the Dead. The story begins in 14th century Spain, making stops in Rome, Byzantium, and the North Pole before following the setting sun into the timeless Land of the Dead. On the way Sergio encounters a ship-full of lazy pirates, a monster hunter displaced in time, a psychotic Kris Kringle, and some seriously mind-bending cosmology. Arriving at last on the untouched continent that history would later call "America", Sergio finds himself at the heart of a drama to liberate the new frontier from stagnation, a drama that takes him far beyond the world's horizon.
