Book excerpt: In 1991, two hikers in the Austrian-Italian Alps discovered a 5,300-year-old mummy partially embedded in a glacier. Ötzi may now be considered one of the most significant archeological finds of all time, but who was he when he was alive? Award-winning author Jeanne Blanchet, PhD, spent years researching Ötzi to weave a suspenseful fictional biography of intrigue and murder. At Ötzi's birth, a shaman foretold that he would do amazing things and impart priceless knowledge to future generations. But to reach that goal, he was forced to endure a life of hardship, including avalanches, bear attacks, and enemies intent on taking down the one man capable of revealing an earth-shattering secret that would revolutionize society. Vivid and realistic, yet as thrilling as a mystery novel, The Iceman: A Novel of Ötzi is a revelation of one man's saga in Europe's Chalcolithic Age. This riveting work of historical fiction will keep readers breathless to the very last page.

Book excerpt: Nine strikes and a few sparks. Thirteen strikes and a spark caught a little smoke, but I hurried and blew too much while jostling the needles. Focus, Gaspare. I felt the call deep within where my blood retreated to stay close to my heart. Focus. My head felt sluggish and my movements dragged with effort. Slowing my breathing I rearranged the needles on the bark and struck again--five strikes and the little spark became an ember. Gaspare, in the role of a young Ötzi the Iceman, desperate to confront his fate and honor his father, receives the ultimate sacrifice. At thirteen with a gifted calling and promise of prophecy, he must face his failures, fight the oppression from his brothers, and learn to live in a society that deemed him a curse. This is Gaspare, the reborn Iceman found murdered on the Ötzal mountains as he begins his tale that led him to that fateful day. From questions surrounding the mystery of Ötzi's mummy preserved from the Neolithic Era, this debut novel explores how he got some of his sixty-one tattoos, found his life's purpose in his copper axe, and how he lived. Iceman Awakens speaks of the timeless voices of love, destiny, and betrayal.
Book Synopsis Inka History in Knots by : Gary Urton
Download or read book Inka History in Knots written by Gary Urton and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inka khipus--spun and plied cords that record information through intricate patterns of knots and colors--constitute the only available primary sources on the Inka empire not mediated by the hands, minds, and motives of the conquering Europeans. As such, they offer direct insight into the worldview of the Inka--a view that differs from European thought as much as khipus differ from alphabetic writing, which the Inka did not possess. Scholars have spent decades attempting to decipher the Inka khipus, and Gary Urton has become the world's leading authority on these artifacts. In Inka History in Knots, Urton marshals a lifetime of study to offer a grand overview of the types of quantative information recorded in khipus and to show how these records can be used as primary sources for an Inka history of the empire that focuses on statistics, demography, and the "longue durée" social processes that characterize a civilization continuously adapting to and exploiting its environment. Whether the Inka khipu keepers were registering census data, recording tribute, or performing many other administrative tasks, Urton asserts that they were key players in the organization and control of subject populations throughout the empire and that khipu record-keeping vitally contributed to the emergence of political complexity in the Andes. This new view of the importance of khipus promises to fundamentally reorient our understanding of the development of the Inka state and the possibilities for writing its history.

Book Synopsis Purposeful Pain by : Susan Guise Sheridan
Download or read book Purposeful Pain written by Susan Guise Sheridan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain is an evolutionary and adaptive mechanism to prevent harm to an individual. Beyond this, how it is defined, expressed, and borne is dictated culturally. Thus, the study of pain requires a holistic approach crossing cultures, disciplines, and time. This volume explores how and why pain-inducing behaviors are selected, including their potential to demonstrate individuality, navigate social hierarchies, and express commitment to an ideal. It also explores how power dynamics affect individual choice, at times requiring self-induced suffering. Taking bioanthropological and bioarchaeological approaches, this volume focuses on those who purposefully seek pain to show that, while often viewed as “exotic,” the pervasiveness of pain-inducing practices is more normative than expected. Theory and practice are employed to re-conceptualize pain as a strategic path towards achieving broader individual and societal goals. Past and present motivations for self-inflicted pain, its socio-political repercussions, and the physical manifestations of repetitive or long-term pain inducing behaviors are examined. Chapters span geographic and temporal boundaries and a wide variety of activities to illustrate how purposeful pain is used by individuals for personal expression and manipulated by political powers to maintain the status quo. This volume reveals how bioarchaeology illuminates paleopathology, how social theory enhances bioarchaeology, and how ethnography benefits from a longer temporal perspective.
