Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1868, the discovery of an exceptionally rich silver ore on Treasure Hill in eastern Nevada led to an intense but short-lived boom. The White Pine Mining District was quickly organized, and in time a new Nevada county was created with that name. The boom lasted only two seasons, but dogged investors, mostly British, spent more than twenty years pursuing the dream of making White Pine a prosperous mining district before they withdrew and left behind only disappointment and ghost towns. W. Turrentine Jackson’s study of Treasure Hill, first published in 1963, has endured as a classic case study of a typical mining district in the western United States. Much more than events at the Comstock Lode in Virginia City, the rush to White Pine, its brief season of glory and excitement followed by sudden decline, typifies the pattern of development in the majority of mining districts in the West. Far more than a tale of sudden wealth and lawlessness—although both were abundant—Treasure Hill encompasses the impact of growing international capitalism and labor movements on the mining West, the bitter politics surrounding the creation of towns and counties, and the human costs of boom and bust. Available again in a new paperback edition, with a foreword by mining historian Joseph V. Tingley,Treasure Hill offers readers a lively, thoroughly researched account of one of Nevada’s richest and briefest mining booms.

Book excerpt: Only the past can save the future for Winston Churchill, and it’s a past with many secrets. There is vast treasure hidden in an almost impregnable Central African fortress surrounded by cliffs. The mountain is a honeycomb of ancient tombs and palaces, as well as the ancient burial place of a Nubian queen mysteriously wedded to a Roman. Young Winston Churchill, a prisoner during the Boer War, is offered a secret deal for freedom by Britain’s enemy Louis Botha: with Botha’s agent, Zeila, Winston must seek out and protect the greatest secret of the dark continent, a fabulous Nubian treasure known only as Mapungubwe Hill. But a rogue member of the British royal family, Lord Sterne, is also after the treasure. Can Winston and the lovely Zeila both survive being entombed? And will their relationship go further than their mission? Decades later, in the middle of a raging World War II, Winston’s special agent Martin Rand struggles to unlock Mapungubwe’s secrets again before German forces, lead by Nazi-sympathizer Lord Sterne, can overwhelm and capture it. Will Winston prevail over the Nazis, or will the Nubian warriors take matters into their own hands? And will Winston’s secret tryst with Zeila come back to ruin everything?

Book excerpt: Legend has it that a fortune in gold lies hidden somewhere in the Money Hill area of southeastern Louisiana, left behind by pirates and Confederate bankers-fair game for anyone persistent enough to find it.Oilfield attorney Randall Oliver is well aware of the Money Hill legend...but he also knows that even a ton of gold is small potatoes compared to the fortune in natural gas that might underlie the property.Shortly after joining the Dallas law firm of Bensen & Hotard in October 1976, Randall impresses oil wildcatter Buck Townsend with his prolific knowledge of Louisiana oil law. When founding partner Fred Hotard is murdered in an apparent mugging gone wrong, Buck puts Randall to work on a project Hotard had been handling for him: the sprawling Money Hill Prospect, a 12,000-acre tract centered on the antebellum Bolivar Plantation in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. With the help of the law firm's paralegal Colleen Rawlings, Randall begins the years-long process of putting together the "play." In her spare time, Colleen starts pursuing the Money Hill treasure itself; first idly, then with increasing earnestness. The key to both the Money Hill gas deposits and the treasure seems to lie with the Devereauxs, a tight-knit local "Redbone" clan descended from Bolivar's original owner, Alan Devereaux, and his freed slaves. The modern Devereauxs own nearly all the parcels making up the Money Hill Prospect, with the exception of the old plantation. That 2,000-acre tract is tightly controlled by Bolivar Land and Timber Ltd., an obscure corporation established shortly before the Civil War. Bolivar's attorney, Zach Bettencourt, blocks their efforts to lease the old plantation site at every turn-until Buck agrees to contribute substantial sums to the presidential campaign of Senator Robert Chandler, Bettencourt's handpicked candidate for the 1980 election. Even then, Bettencourt makes Buck swear he won't negotiate any leases with the Devereauxs. Chandler's campaign soon crashes and burns, the victim of a scandalous affair involving illegal campaign contributions, Vegas call girls-and Zach Bettencourt.People close to Randall are murdered. Randall suspects that the true motivation for the murders has very little to do with either gold or oil. But the only way to prove it to himself, and to the authorities, is to put his own life on the line...

Book excerpt: The claim that heritage practice in Asia is Eurocentric may be well-founded, but the view that local people in Asia need to be educated by heritage practitioners and governments to properly conserve their heritage distracts from the responsibility of educating oneself about the local-popular beliefs and practices which constitute the bedrock of most people’s engagement with the material past. Written by an archaeologist who has long had one foot in the field of heritage practice and another in the academic camp of archaeology and heritage studies, Counterheritage is at once a forthright critique of current heritage practice in the Asian arena and a contribution to this project of self-education. Popular religion in Asia – including popular Buddhism and Islam, folk Catholicism, and Chinese deity cults – has a constituency that accounts for a majority of Asia’s population, making its exclusion from heritage processes an issue of social justice, but more pragmatically it explains why many heritage conservation programs fail to gain local traction. This book describes how the tenets of popular religion affect building and renovation practices and describes how modernist attempts to suppress popular religion in Asia in the early and mid-twentieth century impacted religious ‘heritage.’ Author Denis Byrne argues that the campaign by archaeologists and heritage professionals against the private collecting and ‘looting’ of antiquities in Asia largely ignores the regimes of value which heritage discourse has helped erect and into which collectors and local diggers play. Focussing on the Philippines, Thailand, and Taiwan but also referencing China and other parts of Southeast Asia, richly detailed portraits are provided of the way people live with ‘old things’ and are affected by them. Narratives of the author’s fieldwork are woven into arguments built upon an extensive and penetrating reading of the historical and anthropological literature. The critical stance embodied in the title ‘counterheritage’ is balanced by the optimism of the book’s vision of a different practice of heritage, advocating a view of heritage objects as vibrant, agentic things enfolded in social practice rather than as inert and passive surfaces subject to conservation.

Book excerpt: Teaching Landscape: The Studio Experience gathers a range of expert contributions from across the world to collect best-practice examples of teaching landscape architecture studios. This is the companion volume to The Routledge Handbook of Teaching Landscape in the two-part set initiated by the European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools (ECLAS). Design and planning studio as a form of teaching lies at the core of landscape architecture education. They can simulate a professional situation and promote the development of creative solutions based on gaining an understanding of a specific project site or planning area; address existing challenges in urban and rural landscapes; and often involve interaction with real stakeholders, such as municipality representatives, residents or activist groups. In this way, studio-based planning and design teaching brings students closer to everyday practice, helping to prepare them to create real-world, problem-solving designs. This book provides fully illustrated examples of studios from over twenty different schools of landscape architecture worldwide. With over 250 full colour images, it is an essential resource for instructors and academics across the landscape discipline, for the continuously evolving process of discussing and generating improved teaching modes in landscape architecture.
