A resource long needed in CRM.Cultural contexts and artifact identification tend to be the focus of archaeological education, with comparatively little emphasis on the actual materials that were used in the fabrication of the objects we recover, or why that information might even be relevant.Artifact Recovery successfully provides a basic introduction to the chemistry of those artifacts and materials most commonly recovered from North American post- contact sites, as well as context for how they deteriorate upon excavation and how our recovery methods, packaging, lab processing, and storage methods impact their preservation.The historic archaeological record can obviously yield a bewildering variety of objects, and in such an environment we all have blind spots. Doub acknowledges that no one can be an expert in every area of artifact identification, but she has created this highly accessible field and lab manual by reducing that record to the foundational material categories of metals, organics, skeletal materials, and synthetics.-Thomas J.

Lady Fatima lived during the most crucial years of Muslim history. She was raised by her father during the era in which his early community of followers faced persistent persecution before migration. Fatima would marry the champion of the Muslims, Ali ibn Abi Talib, at the peak of Islam's rise during the Prophet's lifetime. From that marriage would come the Prophet's descendants - Hasan and Husayn - a lineage that has survived to the present day. This historical narrative is written with the hopes of captivating the reader to learn about Lady Fatima's life and the attributes of her legendary personality. She was giving, selfless, and far beyond her years. She was the "Mother of her Father." How a small girl could care for her father, physically tending to his wounds and emotionally cradling him in her little arms - while he was the greatest man to walk God's earth - is fathomable only because she was... Fatima. Fatima witnessed her father's death that inevitably came with a new era of power in the newly founded Muslim nation - the Caliphate. After an attack on her own home in the Caliphate's struggle to quell any opposition to its new reign, Fatima would die only a few short months after her father the Prophet. Death tells us a lot about life. Wisdom dictates that we do not ignore it. Tales of death should not be swept under the rug, especially the deaths of history's most notable figures. Lady Fatima is indeed on top of that list. Regardless of what the reader does with this story after reading it, at the very least, reflect on it. Embrace Fatima - the Flower of Life - and allow her the chance to open your eyes to the universe with-in you. Let her story be your guide as you journey toward the Heavens.

Jorjani makes the case that the persistence of crime and violent chaos is necessary for fostering freedom and creativity. He defends a socio-political and aesthetic vision of a "messy future" based on an understanding of the relationship between sex, crime, and the spectral.
