Book excerpt: Shrouded Heritage: Island of the Blue Dolphins (color photo edition) describes the quest of a father and daughter to reveal the true events that inspired Scott O'Dell's most beloved novel, and detail the life and legacy of the real woman who inspired the character O'Dell named Karana. This remarkable saga weaves together a captivating narrative derived from dozens of historic documents, as well as from accounts of Indigenous People who passionately assert their ancestral bond to the actual island that O'Dell fictionalized in his literary masterpiece. During this saga, bitter conflicts arise as suppressed evidence is revealed by the author that challenges academics who then must fight to retain thousands of human remains taken from the real Island of the Blue Dolphins. Their opponents are Indigenous Peoples who wish to rebury their ancestors on that island in order to return their souls to heaven among the Milky Way.

Book excerpt: This compelling narrative describes the quest of a father and daughter to reveal the true events that inspired Scott O'Dell's most beloved novel, Island of the Blue Dolphins. It also details the life and legacy of the real woman whom O'Dell referred to as Karana in the pages of his fictional masterpiece.This remarkable saga weaves together a captivating story derived from dozens of historic documents. With equal reverence, it also includes accounts of Indigenous People from numerous Southern California tribes who passionately assert their ancestral bond to the actual island that O'Dell dramatized in his novel.During this crusade, bitter conflicts arise as traditional archaeologists are accused of suppressing evidence to allow the alleged illegal exploitation of human remains and sacred artifacts taken from the "Island of the Blue Dolphins." Their challengers are formally-overlooked tribal members who simply wish to rebury their ancestors on that island, which, according to their ancient beliefs, will bring about a reunion with their families in heaven among the Milky Way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characterization of cultural heritage objects becomes increasingly important for conservation, restoration, dating, and authentication purposes. The use of scientific methods in archaeometry and conservation science has led to a significant broadening of the field. Scientific analysis of these objects is a challenging task due to their complex composition, artistic and historical values requiring the use of minimally invasive and nondestructive analytical procedures. This textbook summarizes scientific methods that are currently used to characterize objects of cultural heritage and archaeological artifacts. This book provides a brief description of the structure of matter at the molecular, atomic, and nuclear levels. Furthermore, it discusses the chemical and physical nature of materials from the molecular to the atomic and nuclear level as determined by the principles of quantum mechanics. Important aspects of natural and anthropogenic radioactivity that play a critical role for some of the analytical techniques are also emphasized. The textbook also provides principals and applications of spectroscopic methods for characterization of cultural heritage objects. It describes the technologies with specific examples for utilization of spectroscopic techniques in the characterization of paintings, books, coins, ceramics, and other objects. Analytic approaches that employ isotopes and determination of isotope ratios will be reviewed. General principles of imaging techniques and specific examples for utilization of these methods will also be summarized. In the later part of the book, a number of scientific techniques for the age determination of cultural heritage material and archaeological artifacts will be presented and discussed with specific examples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wighard, Archbishop designate of Canterbury, has been found dead, garrotted in his chambers in Rome's Lateran Palace in the autumn of A.D. 664. His murderer seems apparent to all, since an Irish religieux was arrested by the palace guards as he fled Wighard's chamber, but the monk denies responsibility for the crime, and the treasures missing from Wighard's chambers are nowhere to be found. The bishop in charge of affairs at the Lateran Palace suspects a political motive and is wary of charging someone without independent evidence. So he asks Sister Fidelma of the Celtic Church to look into Wighard's death. Fidelma (an advocate of the Brehon Court), working with Brother Eadulf of the Roman Church, quickly finds herself with very few clues, too many motives, a trail strewn with bodies--and very little time before the killer strikes again.

Joe Nickell demonstrates the techniques used in solving some of the world's most perplexing mysteries, such as the authenticity of Abraham Lincoln's celebrated Bixby letter, the 1913 disappearance of writer and journalist Ambrose Bierce, and the apparent real-life model for a mysterious character in a novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Nickell also uses newly uncovered evidence to further investigate the identity of the Nazi war criminal known as ""Ivan the Terrible.""

This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, we live in a time of images, photos, and videos that we continuously show others. Why? Because we love the person pictured. Thus, if my heavenly Father left a photo of His Son Jesus and His passion whom we love, I want to know about it and show it to others. The Shroud is one of the most scientifically investigated artifacts in the world. Numerous scientists, authors, researchers, and experts have published abundant literature. Notable figures, such as Rogers, Habermas, Jackson, Rucker, Whanger, Antonacci, Schwortz, and many more, have contributed to the ongoing dialogue. This book merges the phenomenal works of these experts with the scriptures, historical and physical evidence to create a comprehensive narrative. For example, What supernatural timing of three events confirms the exact date of Jesus' death? What prophet predicted that exact date? What ancient prophecy is only confirmed in the Shroud? How does the Shroud confirm Jesus' body left the tomb in three days? I hope to provide a deeper understanding of the Shroud by presenting a unified story incorporating all available evidence, adding power to your faith and its relevance in today's world.

Book excerpt: David Paul enjoys his job as a program instructor for developmentally challenged adults. He gets along great with his coworkers, and he thrives on the challenge each day brings. But it's the special relationship with an elderly resident named Huey that David treasures most. After a new group home manager, Brad Ramsey, takes charge of Huey's residence, David begins to suspect the charismatic Brad is not all that he seems. Before long, David suspects that Brad is ritualistically torturing Huey. But how will he prove it? Frustrated with his inability to protect his vulnerable friend, David is further shocked when Huey mysteriously disappears. Both the police and David are baffled over the strange image left behind on Huey's bed linens. It bears a marked resemblance to the famous Shroud of Turin. Why was this modern duplicate to the Shroud of Turin created? As David digs deeper into the mystery, his journey takes him through danger and unrequited love, ultimately culminating in a battle between good and evil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous studies have been carried out on Byzantine coins, but there are still no univocal interpretations on the details of the figures represented there and in particular on those relating to Jesus Christ. The information derived from the studies on the Holy Shroud, the most important Relic of Christ in Christianity, has clearly resulted in some new interpretations. This is the first book in the world that deals extensively with the effigy of Christ, despite being the most sought after and collected by numismatists. Furthermore, the book relates the different images of the Redeemer on Byzantine coins with the image of Jesus Christ on the Shroud, the most important Relic of Christianity. The numerous collectors will therefore be interested in having not only a numismatic analysis of these coins but also a historical-religious study. This book, which should be understandable to everyone, demonstrates the strong influence that the Shroud had in the Byzantine era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dimensions of Heritage and Memory is a landmark contribution on the politics of the past in Europe today. The book explores the meanings of heritage in a time of crisis, when the past permeates social and political divisions, identity contests and official projects to forge a European community. Providing an overview of the literature and an analysis of the assumptions, values and philosophies embedded within European-level policy, the book explores different dimensions of heritage and memory, from official sites, museums and policy, to party politics, historical re-enactments and the everyday ways in which people use the past to make sense of who they are. The volume explores how different understandings of and attachments to the European past produce different ‘Europes’ in the present, accounting for today’s tense social and political relations. The book also explores formative histories for European identities that are neglected or hidden because of political circumstances and non-official heritage. Contributors consider the meanings of interlocking crises, such as economic fallout, xenophobia and the fragmentation of the EU, for new understandings of Europe’s past in the present. Dimensions of Heritage and Memory will be of great interest to researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of heritage and memory studies, museum studies, history, cultural studies, sociology, anthropology and politics. The book will also be interesting to practitioners and cultural heritage policy-makers.

Book excerpt: China’s Route Heritage examines the creation, development and proliferation of the route heritage discourse of the Ancient Tea Horse Road (Chamagudao), in the People’s Republic of China. Examining the formation of the tea-horse road as a concept, its development as a platform for cultural branding, and its most recent interactions with the policy of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the revival of the discourse on the Silk Roads, the book demonstrates that the tea-horse road is an important part of the discourse on Chinese modernity. Describing the route heritage of the tea-horse road as a ‘mobility narrative’, whereby an ancient route is used to form a narrative of ethnic unity and cooperation, the book demonstrates that the study of such heritage offers unique insights into issues that are of concern to the wider field of critical heritage studies. Sigley also shows how the study of alternative route heritage enables us to gain a broader sense of route heritage discourse and its implications for the discussion of historical, present and future forms of mobility and connectivity within China and beyond its borders. China’s Route Heritage should be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students who are engaged in the study of heritage, China, the Silk Roads and the BRI, politics, international relations and tourism.
