In The Familiar Made Strange, twelve distinguished historians offer original and playful readings of American icons and artifacts that cut across rather than stop at the nation's borders to model new interpretive approaches to studying United States history. These leading practitioners of the "transnational turn" pause to consider such famous icons as John Singleton Copley’s painting Watson and the Shark, Alfred Eisenstaedt’s photograph V-J Day, 1945, Times Square, and Alfred Kinsey’s reports on sexual behavior, as well as more surprising but revealing artifacts like Josephine Baker’s banana skirt and William Howard Taft’s underpants. Together, they present a road map to the varying scales, angles and methods of transnational analysis that shed light on American politics, empire, gender, and the operation of power in everyday life.Contributors: Brooke L.

Abnormal burial practices have long been a source of fascination and debate within the fields of mortuary archaeology and bioarchaeology. The Odd, the Unusual, and the Strange investigates an unparalleled geographic and temporal range of burials that differ from the usual customs of their broader societies, emphasizing the importance of a holistic, context-driven approach to these intriguing cases. From an Andean burial dating to 3500 BC to mummified bodies interred in the Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo, Sicily, during the twentieth century, the studies in this volume cross the globe and span millennia. The unusual cases explored here include Native American cemeteries in Illinois, “vampire” burials in medieval Poland, and a mass grave of decapitated soldiers in ancient China. Moving away from the simplistic assumption that these burials represent people who were considered deviant in society, contributors demonstrate the importance of an integrated biocultural approach in determining why an individual was buried in an unusual way. Drawing on historical, sociocultural, archaeological, and biological data, this volume critically evaluates the binary of “typical” versus “atypical” burials. It expands our understanding of the continuum of variation within mortuary practices, helping researchers better interpret burial evidence to learn about the people and cultures of the past. A volume in the series Bioarchaeological Interpretations of the Human Past: Local, Regional, and Global Perspectives, edited by Clark Spencer Larsen

Out of Place Artifacts is a fascinating subject. There are too many of these unusual objects for them to be fakes. I’ve already written several books on this subject including “Strange Objects Which Should Not Exist”, “More Out of Place Objects”, and “A 300 Million Year Old Civilization Existed on Earth”. In this book I’ve compiled everything I could find out about these unusual finds from my prior three books and additional research. 54 artifacts are covered in detail. I’ve included all of this information except that specifically related to Aliens and UFOs since that information is in my books on those topics. The information here is presented in five parts: Part A: Artifacts Found in Historical Times Part B: Very Ancient Objects to Millions of Years Old Part C: A Civilization 300 Million Years Ago Part D: Human Footprints in Rock Part E: Artifacts of Undetermined Ages I hope you find all of this information as interesting as I do since it changes our understanding of the history of our planet in incredible ways.

Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor. Excalibur, Aladdin's lamp. The picture of Dorian Gray. You know they're out there. Items of power, both legendary and forgotten, forged by the same mythology and fiction that spawned the recursions in which they await discovery. What would you do with a lich's phylactery, the ring of Odin, a vorpal sword, or the spellbook of Thoth? What would Earth's enemies do with these powerful, mythic items if they were brought into our world? The Encyclopedia of Impossible Things includes: - More than 400 new cyphers. - More than 250 new artifacts. - Scores of artifacts made famous by the mythology and fiction that gave life to their recursions, plus dozens of emergent artifacts that were created or evolved within the Shoals of Earth or the Strange itself. - Rules for personal recursions for player characters, including a sheet you can use to design and maintain your very own recursion.
