Book excerpt: New York, 1882. A dark, forbidding city, and no place for a girl with unexplainable powers. Deborah Schaumberg’s gripping debut takes readers on a breathless trip across a teeming turn-of-the-century New York and asks the question: Where can you hide in a city that wants you buried? Sixteen-year-old Avery Kohl pines for the life she had before her mother was taken. She fears the mysterious men in crow masks who locked her mother in the Tombs asylum for being able to see what others couldn’t. Avery denies the signs in herself, focusing instead on her shifts at the ironworks factory and keeping her inventor father out of trouble. Other than listening to secondhand tales of adventure from her best friend, Khan, an ex-slave, and caring for her falcon, Seraphine, Avery spends her days struggling to survive. Like her mother’s, Avery’s powers refuse to be contained. When she causes a bizarre explosion at the factory, she has no choice but to run from her lies, straight into the darkest corners of the city. Avery must embrace her abilities and learn to wield their power—or join her mother in the cavernous horrors of the Tombs. And the Tombs has secrets of its own: strange experiments are being performed on “patients”...and no one knows why.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Book of the Year by the Daily Telegraph, Times Literary Supplement, The Times, Spectator, and The Economist The English first materialized as an idea, before they had a common ruler and before the country they lived in even had a name. From the armed Saxon bands that descended onto Roman-controlled Britain in the fifth century to the travails of the Eurozone plaguing the prime-ministership of today's multicultural England, acclaimed historian Robert Tombs presents a momentous and challenging history of a people who have a claim to be the oldest nation in existence. Drawing on a wealth of recent scholarship, Tombs sheds light on the strength and resilience of English governance, the deep patterns of division among the people who have populated the British Isles, the persistent capacity of the English to come together in the face of danger, and not the least the ways the English have understood their own history, have argued about it, forgotten it and yet been shaped by it. Momentous and definitive, The English and Their History is the first single-volume work on this scale for more than half a century.

This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thorough transdisciplinary archaeological study of the ancient Egyptian Theban rock-cut tombs at Sheikh ‘Abd al-Qurna In recent years, archeological research has undergone major changes. The material turn in archaeology and related disciplines prompted the adoption of sophisticated scientific, digital, and technical approaches and methods often conducted on a micro level, enhancing our understanding of depositional processes and of the creation and life of an archeological object. This volume reflects seven seasons of transdisciplinary archaeological research at a cluster of rock-cut tombs in Sheikh 'Abd al-Qurna, an ancient Egyptian hillside cemetery and part of the much larger Theban Necropolis. Organized in twelve main chapters, Life Histories of Theban Tombs presents current investigations in landscape archaeology (including recent excavations at a large debris hill previously covering a tomb), geo- and bioarcheology, the archaeology of tomb construction, burial practices, and domestic uses as well as various epigraphical, visual, and material studies. The last two sections provide additional insight into the applied recording, surveying, and visualization methods and techniques and the database system used for data recording and organization.

This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A true story more incredible than fiction." —Kevin Baker, author of Striver's Row In George Appo's world, child pickpockets swarmed the crowded streets, addicts drifted in furtive opium dens, and expert swindlers worked the lucrative green-goods game. On a good night Appo made as much as a skilled laborer made in a year. Bad nights left him with more than a dozen scars and over a decade in prisons from the Tombs and Sing Sing to the Matteawan State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, where he reunited with another inmate, his father. The child of Irish and Chinese immigrants, Appo grew up in the notorious Five Points and Chinatown neighborhoods. He rose as an exemplar of the "good fellow," a criminal who relied on wile, who followed a code of loyalty even in his world of deception. Here is the underworld of the New York that gave us Edith Wharton, Boss Tweed, Central Park, and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, John Munro spent time inside the notorious Tombs Prison in New York, observing and working with inmates as a chaplain. In this graphic and sometimes horrifying account, he describes famous prisoners and their cases, conditions in the prison, and the corrosive effect of city corruption. Opened in 1838, by the time Munro began working there in the 1870s, the prison had become a waystation for the downtrodden with no real attempts at rehabilitation. Many of the social issues that Munro raises in this book are still part of our discussion of the criminal justice system today. This is a fascinating look at crime and criminals in one of America's worst prisons. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Excerpt: ...to Mr. Hackett his wish to desist, and his desire to avoid any further collision with those who were opposed to his appearance, but amid the groans and hisses the play went on. The first persons who were arrested in the parquette were some fashionably attired young men, who were locked up in a room in the basement In this apartment there was a gas light burning, and the prisoners, pulling up some shavings and pieces of wood, set fire to them. When the policemen opened the door the place was full of smoke, but the officers speedily extinguished the fire. NED These desperate incendiaries were immediately placed in irons At this moment a shower of stones assailed the windows of the theatre, and the cries of the furious mob could be distinctly heard inside the house. It was now ascertained that Edward Z. C. Judson, alias Ned Buntline, was heading the mob outside and calling on them to stone the building. He was immediately dragged from the crowd by the police and taken to the nearest police station. Volley after volley of heavy paving stones were discharged against the windows until at last they were smashed to atoms. The windows having been barricaded they resisted the further progress of the rioters, but the missiles fell among the frightened audience and they became terror stricken. The scene in the house was most exciting. The faces of strong men were blanched with fear, hedged in as they were on all sides by an infuriated mob, bent on destroying the building. The police displayed the most undaunted courage as they rushed in amidst the crowd, seizing the most conspicuous rioters and bringing them off prisoners. When, it was announced that the militia were coming to the scene of the riot the mob became still more demonstrative. As the...
