According to English Heritage, 'Silbury's significance is obscure and we can only hope to understand it if we combine our scientific approach with a vision that sees beyond modern-day beliefs.' This book meets that need. Developed from the same author's acclaimed work The Silbury Treasure, here he sets new scientific findings made at Silbury with a framework of religious ideas, associated with the invention of agriculture. Silbury re-emerges as a gigantic pregnant image of the Neolithic harvest goddess, linked to animals reared at the nearby Palisades enclosures and to local landscape features, so delivering an annual First Fruits birth.The recent discovery of a Roman town, built around Silbury, indicates that the Romans merged their own corn goddess, Ceres, with the Neolithic deity. With a survey of Britain's evocative 'Mother Earth'-shaped hills, to which folklore has adhered. Dames also relates Celtic and English traditions of pagan worship to the Silbury prototype. Silbury: Resolving the Enigma is a scholarly, boldly argued, lucid, affectionate book. With more than 150 illustrations, the author demonstrates Silbury's relevance to current environmental concerns.

Die südenglische Stadt Glastonbury zeichnet sich durch eine Vielfalt religiöser Strömungen aus: Neben Anglikanern stößt man hier auf Neo-Hindus, Druiden oder die Goddess People. Als Basis ihrer Feldforschung stellt Isabel Laack die religiöse Identitätsbildung in Glastonbury dar und untersucht die Musik, die in der religiösen Praxis angewandt wird. Daran anschließend entwickelt sie ein theoretisches Erklärungsmodell unter Berücksichtigung neuester ethnologischer und musikwissenschaftlicher Ansätze, um die Rolle von Musik in den lokalen kollektiven Identitätsbildungsprozessen zu erfassen.

In the last decade, the topic of motherhood has emerged as a distinct and established field of scholarly inquiry. A cursory review of motherhood research reveals that hundreds of scholarly articles have been published on almost every motherhood theme imaginable. The Encyclopedia of Motherhood is a collection of approximately 700 articles in a three-volume, A-to-Z set exploring major topics related to motherhood, from geographical, historical and cultural entries to anthropological and psychological contributions. In human society, few institutions are as important as motherhood, and this unique encyclopedia captures the interdisciplinary foundation of the subject in one convenient reference. The Encyclopedia is a comprehensive resource designed to provide an understanding of the complexities of motherhood for academic and public libraries, and is written by academics and institutional experts in the social and behavioural sciences.

Denied citizenship by the Roman Empire, a soldier named Alaric changed history by unleashing a surprise attack on the capital city of an unjust empire. Stigmatized and relegated to the margins of Roman society, the Goths were violent “barbarians” who destroyed “civilization,” at least in the conventional story of Rome’s collapse. But a slight shift of perspective brings their history, and ours, shockingly alive. Alaric grew up near the river border that separated Gothic territory from Roman. He survived a border policy that separated migrant children from their parents, and he was denied benefits he likely expected from military service. Romans were deeply conflicted over who should enjoy the privileges of citizenship. They wanted to buttress their global power, but were insecure about Roman identity; they depended on foreign goods, but scoffed at and denied foreigners their own voices and humanity. In stark contrast to the rising bigotry, intolerance, and zealotry among Romans during Alaric’s lifetime, the Goths, as practicing Christians, valued religious pluralism and tolerance. The marginalized Goths, marked by history as frightening harbingers of destruction and of the Dark Ages, preserved virtues of the ancient world that we take for granted. The three nights of riots Alaric and the Goths brought to the capital struck fear into the hearts of the powerful, but the riots were not without cause. Combining vivid storytelling and historical analysis, Douglas Boin reveals the Goths’ complex and fascinating legacy in shaping our world.
