Karma R. Chávez, "The Borders of AIDS: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance "
English | ISBN: 0295748974 | 2021 | 264 pages | PDF | 2 MB
As soon as US media and politicians became aware of AIDS in the early 1980s, fingers were pointed not only at the gay community but also at other countries and migrant communities, particularly Haitians, as responsible for spreading the virus. Evangelical leaders, public health officials, and the Reagan administration quickly capitalized on widespread fear of the new disease to call for quarantines, immigration bans, and deportations, scapegoating and blaming HIV-positive migrants―even as the rest of the world regarded the US as the primary exporter of the virus.

Stephen Miller, "The Book of Angels"
English | ISBN: 1527534340 | 2019 | 184 pages | PDF | 40 MB
Both collectively and individually, we have a deep and abiding fascination with angels. This book explores depictions of angels in the visual arts and in scripture and associated apocryphal and mystical writings, specifically in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles and Islamic, Zoroastrian and other ancient and latter-day accounts. It examines the visual clues, artistic conventions and attributes that have been set down to help us to recognise them in their particular roles and functions. Certain writings have had a particularly influential bearing on our understanding of angels. This text focuses on the hierarchies and orders proposed by the likes of Pseudo-Dionysius, St. Thomas Aquinas and others. In a new age of fascination with the metaphysical and supernatural (in film, television, popular mythology and literature), are we cementing or losing our connection with the authentic meaning and purpose that such vibrant and energised beings bring to our table? This book contains more than 30 illustrations in a central colour plates section. It also includes a useful glossary of terms and will prove a rich and enduring reference resource for libraries as well as a stimulating go-to source for those interested in the world of angels and how human sensibilities and imaginative reasoning have enriched the subject, as a starting point for interreligious dialogue.

The Archaeology of Tiwanaku The Myths, History, and Science of an Ancient Andean Civilization By Juan V. Albarracin-Jordan (Ph.D.)
1999 | 189 Pages | ISBN: 9990500061 | PDF | 63 MB
Tiwanaku's zenith took place between the fifth and tenth centuries of our era, five centuries of extraordinary achievements that haracterized the evolutionary trajectory of one of the most outstanding civilizations of the prehispanic world. Tiwanaku still plays a pivotal role in Andean cosmogony. It is still part of a plethora of myths that reproduce and, at the same time, configure the purposes and meaning of a magnificent cultural heritage. Archaeological inquiry at Tiwanaku began just a century ago. Nonetheless, its contributions to our understanding of the origin, development, and collapse of this ancient civilization have provided the scientific bases on which our knowledge of the past is currently constructed. In this book, Dr. Albarracin-Jordan makes a comprehensive analysis of the criteria that, historically, shaped different views about ancient Tiwanaku. Dr. Albarracin-Jordan has conducted archaeological research in the Tiwanaku Valley for more than a decade.
The Annals of Tacitus: Books 5-6 By A J Woodman
2017 | 348 Pages | ISBN: 1107152704 | PDF | 2 MB
Books 5 and 6 of Tacitus' Annals cover the last years of the emperor Tiberius. Although most of Book 5 is lost, Book 6 survives complete and offers a vivid narrative of the increasingly tyrannical princeps, secluded on the island of Capri; the book ends with his death and obituary notice, one of the most celebrated passages of classical literature. The volume presents a new text of Books 5 and 6, restoring the division between them which was proposed by Lipsius, as well as a full commentary on the text, covering textual, literary, linguistic and historical matters. An Appendix discusses 'The Tacitean Tiberius'. The volume rounds off the sequence which began with commentary on Books 1 and 2 of Tacitus' Annals by F. R. D. Goodyear (1972, 1981) and was continued by commentary on Book 3 by A. J. Woodman and R. H. Martin (1996).
