The Severed Snake: Matrilineages, Making Place, and a Melanesian Christianity in Southeast Solomon Islands (Carolina Academic Press Ritual Studies Monographs)





Part of the Ritual Studies Monograph Series. Examining the secretive dynamics of competing land claims among the Arosi of the island of Makira (Solomon Islands), Michael W. Scott demonstrates the explanatory power of ethnographic attention to the nexus between practice and indigenous theories of being. His focus on the ways in which Arosi understand their matrilineages to be the bearers of discrete categorical essences exclusively emplaced in ancestral territories forms the basis for a timely and accessible rethink of current anthropological representations of Melanesian sociality and opens up new lines of inquiry into the transformative relationships among gendered metaphors of descent, processes of place making, and the indigenization of Christianity. Informed by original historical research and newly documented variants of regionally important mythic traditions, The Severed Snake is a work of multidisciplinary scope that proposes critical and methodological shifts relevant to historians, development professionals, folklorists, and scholars of religion as well as anthropologists.

Part foreign affairs discourse, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide, The Geography of Bliss takes the reader from America to Iceland to India in search of happiness, or, in the crabby author's case, moments of "un-unhappiness." The book uses a beguiling mixture of travel, psychology, science and humor to investigate not what happiness is, but where it is. Are people in Switzerland happier because it is the most democratic country in the world? Do citizens of Qatar, awash in petrodollars, find joy in all that cash? Is the King of Bhutan a visionary for his initiative to calculate Gross National Happiness? Why is Asheville, North Carolina so damn happy? With engaging wit and surprising insights, Eric Weiner answers those questions and many others, offering travelers of all moods some interesting new ideas for sunnier destinations and dispositions.

Stalemate (Eve Duncan Forensics Thrillers)





From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killer Dreams comes a terrifying new thriller that will leave you guessingâ€"and gaspingâ€"till the final nerve-racking page. The suspense begins with a phone call and leads forensic sculptor Eve Duncan to the trail of a killer even killers fear to face.

Eve Duncan has turned down the job twice already. Her skill and devotion in identifying murder victims and helping bring their killers to justice may be world-renowned. But Eve works exclusively for law enforcement and the families of the innocent, and the man on the other end of the phone is many thingsâ€"none of them law-abiding or innocent.

One of the world’s most wanted men, little is really known about Luis Montalvo except that he is extraordinarily dangerous and that he never takes no for an answer. Now he wants Eve’s help in the worst way. For he believes they have something in commonâ€"and he’s about to prove it with a grisly warning.

Eve will leave everything and everyone behind, even the man she trusts and loves the most, to travel to the Colombian jungle to identify the skull he has recovered. She has agreed to this devil’s bargain to save an innocent family, but also for a reason she can’t admit to anyone. For the man in the jungle has promised to be able to give Eve what she wants most of allâ€"the key to unlocking the darkest and most painful mystery of her past.

But as she gets closer to identifying the skull, she finds herself caught between two ruthless killers with no way out. Now, with everything on the line, Eve Duncan must make the most chilling choice of all. And if she’s wrong…she’s dead.

La Guerre Et Les Rites De Guerre Dans Le Judaisme Du Deuxieme Temple (Supplements to the Journals for the Study of Judaism) (French Edition)





Heirs to the Punic and Berber traditions, the North Africans, once conquered by the Romans and willing to show respect for their new masters' gods, did not want to forsake their beloved ancestral deities and solved this dilemma by giving Roman names to their traditional gods, who nevertheless kept most of their former natures. This phenomenon, known as interpretatio romana, resulted in an interpenetration of both religious universes, each being enriched in the process. Roman African gods thus conceal dual personalities within themselves, which this book tries to investigate through all available sources (epigraphy, literature, numismatic and archaeology), unveiling many unsuspected aspects of great deities like Saturn/Baal Hammon, Astarte/Venus or Mercury/Baal Addir. If those gods of Roman Africa have inspired many individual studies, there was still a need for a book examining them all together within their interrelations. Here is then at last a real global study of the Roman-African pantheon. Heritiers des traditions puniques et berberes, les Nord-africains, a l'arrivee du conquerant romain, voulurent conserver leurs divinites ancestrales tout en respectant les dieux de leur nouveau maitre. Ils affublerent donc de noms romains leurs dieux traditionnels tout en leur conservant l'essentiel de leur personnalite d'origine. Ce phenomene, connu sous le terme d'interpretatio romana, resulta en une interpenetration des deux univers religieux, qui s'enrichirent ainsi mutuellement. Les dieux de l'Afrique romaine cachent donc des personnalites multiples que cet ouvrage tente de devoiler en mettant a profit toutes les sources disponibles : epigraphie, litterature, numismatique et archeologie. Ces grandes divinites, telles que Saturne/Baal Hammon, Venus/Astarte ou Mercure/Baal Addir livrent ainsi tour a tour des aspects insoupconnes de leurs personnalites. Si les dieux d'Afrique romaine ont suscite diverses etudes individuelles, il manquait encore un ouvrage qui les examinerait tous ensemble et dans leurs rapports entre eux. Voici donc enfin une veritable etude globale du pantheon romano-africain.

What TV shows from the 80’s are now considered classics?

Question by Pinnochio Jones: What TV shows from the 80's are now considered classics?

Most 80's shows have faded away into TV wasteland, never to be shown again or released on DVD.
What shows do you consider classics, sitcoms that are still funny, or shows that have stood the test of time?
I like the A Team, Magnum PI and 21 Jump St.
Shows that have dated badly I think would be Love Boat, Eight is Enough and BJ and The Bear.
