Numismatic Archaeology of North America is the first book to
provide an archaeological overview of the coins and tokens found in
a wide range of North American archaeological sites. It begins with
a comprehensive and well-illustrated review of the various coins
and tokens that circulated in North America with descriptions of
the uses for, and human behavior associated with, each type. The
book contains practical sections on standardized nomenclature,
photographing, cleaning, and curating coins, and discusses the
impacts of looting and of working with collectors. This is an
important tool for archaeologists working with coins. For
numismatists and collectors, it explains the importance of
archaeological context for complete analysis.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Pastor's wife, Kirstie Donovan, lives life in a fishbowl, so when
she hops on the back of a bright pink motorcycle, tongues start to
wag at the conservative, century-old First Independent Christian
Community Church of Eels Falls. Kirstie loves roaring down a road
less traveled by most women over forty, but she's not just riding
her bike for the fun of it. Kirstie has a ministry. However,
certain church members have secrets to hide, and when God uses
Kirstie's ministry to fill the pews with leather-clad, tattooed
bikers, those secrets could be exposed...and some will stop at
nothing to hide the truth. Join Kirstie and her motorcycle "gang" -
two church matrons and a mouthy, gum-smacking non-church member -
as they discover that road-toughened bikers are quite capable of
ministering to others, and faith is fortified in the most
unexpected ways.

First published in 1991 Mongolia Today presents a collection of
essays by leading scholars in the field and gives important
insights into the economic, political, legal and military systems
of Mongolia. The Mongolian People's Republic, formerly known as
âOuter Mongoliaâ, is three times the size of France but has
population of just two million. Sandwiched between Russia and
China, this remote heartland of Asia has long been one of the most
inaccessible places in the world, its isolation preserved by
political as well as geographical barriers. The modern history of
Mongolia has been dominated by its two great neighbours: strong
economic and political ties with the erstwhile Soviet Union and
problematic relations with China. Relations with the West have been
slow to develop. Post-cold war, Mongolia is willing to explore new
relationships with other parts of the world and transform this once
isolated land into a trading partner of international potential.
This is an essential read for scholars and researchers of Central
Asian studies, Asian politics, and Chinese studies.
In the past decade, the emerging narratives about philanthropy in
Africa are the capacities to give not only to help, but also to
address the root causes of injustice, want, ignorance, and disease.
The narratives are also about the questioning of the role and place
of Africans in the world's philanthropic traditions, and what
constitutes African specificities, as well as African differences
and varieties. Giving to Help, Helping to Give deftly explores
African philanthropic experiences - the varieties, the challenges,
and the opportunities - while also documenting, investigating,
analyzing, and reflecting on philanthropy in multifaceted Africa.
This ground-breaking book rightly tackles the varied modes, forms,
vehicles, and means in which philanthropy is expressed. It is a
pioneering and ambitious effort in a field and community of
practice that is new, both in terms of scholarship and in
professional practice. Many of the chapters boldly engage the
burden of reflections, questions, ambivalences, and ambiguities
that one often finds in an emerging field, innovatively positing
the outlines, concepts, frameworks, and theories of scholarship and
practice for a field critical to development on the continent. ***
"Overall this volume effectively represents the vibrancy and
diversity of emerging institutions of philanthropy on the African
continent. The contributions are clearly located in an emerging
community of practice and scholarship and provide a wealth of new
data on a rapidly changing philanthropic landscape." -- Nonprofit
and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, August 2016 [Subject: African
Studies, Development Studies, Sociology]A?A?
In his highly anticipated English translation of the ancient Irish
text known as the Lebor Feasa Rnda (Book of Secret Knowledge),
Celtic scholar and historian, Steven L. Akins, has at last made
available to readers the wealth of pre-Christian teachings espoused
by the Druids in this seminal work of pagan religious literature.
Basing his translation on the only extant transcription of the now
lost Black Book of Loughcrew, the actual doctrines of the Celtic
priesthood are finally brought to light in this timeless rendering
of these sacred scriptures. Of the 180 Druidic texts mentioned in
the historic Yellow Book of Lecan as being destroyed by St. Patrick
in his attempt to convert the pagan inhabitants of Ireland to
Christianity, the Lebor Feasa Rnda alone survived as testimony to
the spiritual beliefs and practices of the Celts in their original,
uncompromised form. First transcribed by the Druid Mogh Ruith from
a series of ogham staves long ago discovered in the tomb of Ollamh
Fodhla, one of Ireland's greatest early kings, the Lebor Feasa
Runda records the dispensation of a vast store of esoteric
knowledge received by Ollamh Fodhla from a messenger of the Celtic
gods known as the Tuatha D Danann. Perhaps the most remarkable of
all ancient Celtic texts, the Lebor Feasa Rnda contains not only an
account of the earliest history of Ireland and the relationship of
its inhabitants to the Celtic gods, but it also comprises a full
discourse on the Druidic religion, providing a complete account of
the sacred rites and ceremonies at the heart of this mysterious
faith. Since it was first recorded in the Black Book of Loughcrew,
the Lebor Feasa Rnda miraculously survived for centuries,
travelingacross Europe and passing through the hands of numerous
individuals until it was ultimately acquired by the Ahnenerbe
Forschungs-und Lehrgemeinschaf, who commissioned its translation
into German in the days leading up to the Second World War. The
original volume was found missing on May 10, 1941, the date Rudolf
Hess, made his ill-fated flight to Great Britain, lending support
to allegations that Hitler's deputy Fhrer had taken the ancient
manuscript with the intention of presenting it as a gift to the
Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, who Hess planned to meet for the
purpose of secretly discussing peace negotiations between Germany
and Britain. In the years since its disappearance, the only known
transcription of the Lebor Feasa Rnda, the German translation
prepared by Henry Thorenson for the Ahnenerbe, fell into obscurity
until 2001 when it was discovered by Akins, who was granted access
to Thorenson's private records, enabling him to complete and
publish the first English edition of this remarkable and historic
work.
