Father James Ennis’s life is fulfilling enough. He’s content to tend to the concerns of his aging parishioners at St. Patrick—including the Brennans, whom he suspects are being swindled—and be a loving, if remote, uncle to his sister Lizzie’s two children. There’s also the matter of coping with the growing insistence of the sinister, unseen presence that has inhabited his life for two decades now. Twenty-seven-year-old Emily Bell is desperate to fit into the rarefied world of her colleagues at the Manhattan auction house where she works. When a weekend jaunt to Newport, Rhode Island, ends in pain and humiliation, it’s too much to bear. On a hot, sticky summer night, Father Ennis gets a phone call that upends more than the routine of his days. It brings Jim and Emily together, marking the start of a friendship between savior and saved that will change them both forever. It also marks the beginning of a battle against evils both ordinary and supernatural. Alive with memorable characters, Ryan’s finely crafted novel explores the ability of love to forge bonds of friendship, to mend broken places, and to summon the courage to face even the most daunting darkness.

It is one of the great mysteries in the archaeology of the Americas: the depopulation of the northern Southwest in the late thirteenth-century AD. Considering the numbers of people affected, the distances moved, the permanence of the departures, the severity of the surrounding conditions, and the human suffering and culture change that accompanied them, the abrupt conclusion to the farming way of life in this region is one of the greatest disruptions in recorded history. Much new paleoenvironmental data, and a great deal of archaeological survey and excavation, permit the fifteen scientists represented here much greater precision in determining the timing of the depopulation, the number of p...

"Set in contemporary Dublin, in a Victorian square where the lavender grows in mysterious abundance, the story is about a poor African-Irish boy, Patrick Kimba, whose middle-class Irish neighbours are obliged to take care of him when his mother becomes ill. Initially put out, they rally begrudgingly until, quite-by-accident, the young boy changes their worlds. Patrick is no ordinary seven-year old. He speaks French fluently (his mother is from the Democratic Republic of Congo) and he seems wise beyond his years. He also has a dream: to become a professional footballer so that he can find his father. ‘The King of Lavender Square’ is about the pursuit of a dream against all odds, love, race, creed, culture and neighbourliness, with a little bit of football thrown in." -- Provided by publisher.
The Mesa Verde migrations in the thirteenth century were an integral part of a transformative period that forever changed the course of Pueblo history. For more than seven hundred years, Pueblo people lived in the Northern San Juan region of the U.S. Southwest. Yet by the end of the 1200s, tens of thousands of Pueblo people had left the region. Understanding how it happened and where they went are enduring questions central to Southwestern archaeology. Much of the focus on this topic has been directed at understanding the role of climate change, drought, violence, and population pressure. The role of social factors, particularly religious change and sociopolitical organization, are less well...
