Download or read book Fire in the Dark written by Sarah Buckler and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropologists who are employed to change the worlds they are researching find themselves in a potentially contradictory position. Combining the various roles and expectations involved in working with Gypsies and local government at the same time as conducting anthropological research, provides the overall perspective of this study. It is an unusual and effective balance of insightful ethnography and anthropological theory with the perspective of someone employed to carry out applied work. An effective and creative use of metaphor structures the entire work and allows complex ideas to be conveyed in an accessible way. Drawing upon traditional anthropological approaches such as kinship and story telling and engaging with the works of major social theorists such as Weber, Bourdieu and Foucault as well as the work of contemporary anthropologists, this work demonstrates the use of anthropology in understanding changing situations and in deciding how best to manage such situations.

Book excerpt: Bursting with images from across time, a sparkling chronicle of rockets, pinwheels, and more. This book illuminates the glittering history of fireworks, from their mysterious beginnings to the dazzling big-budget displays of today. It describes how they enthralled the world’s royal courts and became a sensation across the British Empire.

Practitioners say fireworks are an art, and they have inspired artists from Shakespeare, Handel, Dickens, and Whistler to Katy Perry.

Millie encourages Harry to fight for Amber, believing they are meant to be together. Yet, unbeknownst to Amber, Harry harbours a significant secret, known only to Millie. As the story unfolds, the question remains: can Sam and Millie overcome their past differences and open up to each other? Will Millie let her guard down?
