This edited collection examines how fantasy sports play has
established a prominent and promising foothold in the larger sports
ecology. Often considered an isolated activity for the hardcore
sports fan, fantasy sports play have since been incorporated into
sports broadcasting and editorial coverage, sports marketing and
promotions, and even into the very sports themselves with athletes
and teams using the activities to draw fans further into the sports
experience. This edited collection invites leading scholars and
sports professionals from several different fields to share
historical and emerging perspectives on the importance of fantasy
sports as an artifact of theoretical and empirical importance to
larger issues of sport and society. \

Ethnoarchaeology in Action is the first and only comprehensive study of ethnoarchaeology, the ethnographic study of living cultures from archaeological perspectives, and is designed for senior undergraduates and above in archaeology and anthropology. Its geographical coverage is global and the book includes relevant theory, practical advice regarding fieldwork, and complete topical coverage of the discipline. Critical discussions of varied case studies make this a very readable book. It is illustrated with numerous figures and photographs of many leading ethnoarchaeologists in action.
This volume features exercises that allow students to use their
knowledge of archaeological method and theory to deal with
fictitious scenarios and data sets. The authors offer all new,
inventive, and often witty problems that pose the same questions
being tackled by archaeologists in the field today.
This unique collection of thirteen fictional problems, particularly
useful at the undergraduate level and geared to a semester's
length, offers the teacher of archaeology an invaluable means of
supplementing courses dealing largely in theory with practical
exercises in archaeological problem-solving. The captivating, often
witty problems are directed not to the discovery of one correct
answer but to the encouragement of intelligent inquiry and
analysis.

Matthew and Marcie Hatch live in a Mews in central London with
their Poodle, Poodley. Life has been good to them, Marcie is
possibly going to be the next UK Prime Minister and Matt's career
as an engineer in the arms industry has been, shall we say
interesting. Everything changes when an incident at Matt's work,
makes him face the truth about everything he has been doing since
he left school. After totally losing his calm during a live TV
interview, things take a dramatic turn for the worst. Marcie is
kidnapped and Matt unwittingly and unwillingly becomes the
figurehead of a British revolution, the kind of revolt not seen
since Oliver Cromwell came ashore in Torquay. With the help of
Jasmine his strange but sexy neighbour, he must save Marcie and
stop the revolt from becoming a bloodbath.
Are you a bit of an Ogre? No seriously, I know you are out there.
Living and hiding amongst us for as long as we have existed as a
species, Ogres are special. An Ogre's dog is even more so. Ogres
are a species from another planet. The ones that live on Earth are
aware they are different, not that they are aliens. Kip is happier
than a dog with two tails, that Jevin, his pet Ogre has found love
with Sally. Sally thought her pottery fairies were fairly
realistic, but it was only after she met some that she realised she
was wrong, she has no clue about Jevin's Grimm heritage. The Realm
is not a place to be entered lightly and for humans to leave
usually proves impossible. Karl was an ordinary Ogre, but he had
difficulty thinking anywhere in the vicinity of the box. The
Pyramids were not built in a day, or were they? This story is based
on actual events that purportedly happened in an alternate reality.
The dry stone structures that are the subject of this book are
located in the Mandara mountains of the Extreme North province of
Cameroon and are known to the Mafa who live among them as
diy-geo-bay, best glossed as ruins of chiefly residence. This
studyu presents excavation reports from two such "DGB" sites, as
well as a summary of evidence from the other identified sites, and
a typology. The discussion centres on the means by which they were
constructed, and the effect their construction had on social
organization.
This third volume of the "Excavation of the Abri Pataud" rock
shelter in southern France focuses on the occupation that began
about 27,000 years ago and compares the materials with artifacts
from more than 50 sites in Italy, Spain, and France.
