Pain, hope, and love collide in this explosive collection of
speculative fiction. Arkdust demands revolutions while seeking
compassion and understanding. Alex Smith gives us abandoned Black
Panthers, disillusioned queer anarchists, warrior queen grocery
clerks, all fighting for a better future against sadistic
superheroes and white supremacist automatons-while a high-heeled
bag lady with utopia in her eyes leads the way. Worlds we hope to
never see and only dare to imagine, Arkdust challenges and implores
the reader to explore the unimaginable to make all worlds possible.
As Samuel R. Delany says, "You should be in that armchair, this
word-wonder in your hand, reading..."
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,
longevity and tempo; the relationship between lowland and upland
sites; settlement organisation and identity; roundhouse
architecture and the impact of contact with the Roman world. At
Morley Hill, work revealed two later Iron Age settlements defined
by rectilinear enclosures surrounding groups of roundhouses with
evidence for earlier phases of activity. The settlements at Morley
Hill are comparable to many such distinctive settlements identified
across the region and explored in recent years largely through
developer-funded excavations. Lower Callerton represents a less
explored form of extensive settlement with the excavation revealing
evidence of earlier prehistoric activity overlain by a large Iron
Age enclosure with over 53 structures, multiple sub-enclosures and
boundaries. Comprehensive Bayesian modelling at Lower Callerton has
provided a robust chronological framework indicating complex and
continual settlement development from the middle Iron Age. The
implications of this in terms of wider settlement development,
tempo and longevity are explored. While the volume focuses on the
Iron Age, the identification and influence of earlier prehistoric
activity is also explored. The discussion is again enhanced by the
programme of radiocarbon dating and isotopic analysis of cereal
grains from Neolithic pits at Lower Callerton.

In 1967, 25-year-old Rolf Martens won the Swedish Championship
playing faster than anyone before. In the Student World
Championship he defeated one of the world’s ten best players, and
at the end of the year he became the first Swede to make an
IM-norm. Efim Geller said: “If Martens comes to Moscow, he will
become one of the best players in the world.†A few years later,
he had quit playing to pursue political activism on the far left.
It became his vocation for the rest of his life. When Martens’
desire for chess returned, it was as an analyst. He founded the
Ultra Hypermodern Counter Attack School and has produced more
openings than perhaps any other player in history. Rolf Martens -
Chess genius, Maoist and rebel is his life story, but also
a book for anyone who wants to use his openings.Â

Aaron Hill has it all athletic good looks and the many privileges
of a star quarterback. His Sundays are spent playing NFL football
in front of a televised audience of millions. But Aaron s about to
receive an unexpected handoff, one that will give him a whole new
view of his self-centered life. Derrick Anderson is a family man
who volunteers his time with foster kids while sustaining a long
career as a pro football player. But now he s looking for a
miracle. He must act as team mentor while still striving for the
one thing that matters most this season keeping a promise he made
years ago. Megan Gunn works two jobs and spends her spare time
helping at the youth center. Much of what she does, she does for
the one boy for whom she is everything a foster child whose dying
mother left him in Megan s care. Now she wants to adopt him, but
one obstacle stands in the way. Her foster son, Cory, is convinced
that 49ers quarterback Aaron Hill is his father. Two men and the
game they love. A woman with a heart for the lonely and lost, and a
boy who believes the impossible. Thrown together in a season of
self-discovery, they re about to learn lessons in character and
grace, love and sacrifice. Because in the end life isn t defined by
what takes place on the first day of the week, but how we live it
between Sundays."

Excavations in advance of gravel quarrying in the Upper Thames
Valley at Horcott Quarry, Fairford, and nearby Arkell’s Land,
Kempsford, revealed contrasting pictures. At Horcott, on the second
terrace, there was periodic activity from the early Mesolithic
onwards. A major earlier Iron Age settlement contained roundhouses
and at least 135 four-post structures, suggesting an exceptional
focus on grain storage. An early–middle Roman farmstead
incorporated a small stone-founded building, while from c AD
250–350 a large cemetery lay in an adjacent enclosure. Two
further groups of burials were contemporary with a substantial
Anglo-Saxon settlement including a timber hall and 33
sunken-featured buildings. By contrast, at Arkell’s Land, on the
first gravel terrace, activity on a significant scale only began in
the later 1st century AD. It comprised enclosures, field systems
and trackways, with the most intensive settlement, as at Horcott,
in the middle Roman period. The site was probably linked to an
adjacent estate centre at Claydon Pike. There was no post-Roman
occupation.
