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.

Examines how settler colonial and sexist infrastructures and
narratives order a resource boom Over the past decade, new oil
plays have unsettled U.S. energy landscapes and imaginaries.
Settling the Boom studies how the disruptive forces of an oil boom
in the northern Great Plains are contained through the extension of
settler temporalities, reassertions of heteropatriarchy, and the
tethering of life to the volatility of oil and its cruel optimisms.
This collection reveals the results of sustained research in
Williston, North Dakota, the epicenter of the “Bakken Boom.”
While the boom brought a rapid influx of capital and workers, the
book questions simple timelines of before and after. Instead,
Settling the Boom demonstrates how the unsettling forces of an oil
play resolve through normative narratives and material and
affective infrastructures that support settler colonialism’s
violent extension and its gendered orders of time and space.
Considering a wide range of evidence, from urban and regional
policy, interviews with city officials, media, photography, and
film, these essays analyze the ongoing material, aesthetic, and
narrative ways of life and land in the Bakken. Contributors: Morgan
Adamson, Macalester College; Kai Bosworth, Virginia Commonwealth U;

Religious belief was central to the lives - and deaths - of all
medieval Londoners. Religion was fully integrated into the social
and political order, providing the population with an understanding
of their place in the world and inspiring artists, architects and
craftspeople. Belief motivated progressive acts such as early forms
of social provision and medical care but was also used to justify
wars of conquest and the brutal repression of diversity.
Archaeology sheds light on many aspects of belief: from organised
religion, both Christianity and Judaism, to superstition or
witchcraft; places of worship from the smallest parish churches to
the great Cathedral of St Paul; tiny objects of personal devotion
to entire monastic landscapes. Monasteries include communities cut
off from the world, hospitals providing for London's poor or the
headquarters of military religious orders behind the Crusades.
Cemetery excavations reveal how Londoners responded to mortality
both individually and together in the face of catastrophes such as
the Black Death, while the events of the Reformation dramatically
transformed both institutions and beliefs. This fully illustrated
book provides an introduction to the evidence of belief from the
Museum of London's archaeological excavations in the capital, with
a particular focus on the programme of work, supported by English
Heritage, on the sites of many of London's monasteries.
