Geheim van die gruwelsand
Moordenaars. Afpersers. Nazis in die Namib. En dis by verre nie die ergste waarmee die diamantsmokkelaar Barra Nel te kampe het nie. Nie as die Nazi-navorsers se eksperimente skeefloop en liederlike gedrogte in die woestyn ontketen nie. Hy moet wegkom. Maar wat dan van Hedda, die Duitse laboratorium-assistent wat allerlei lyflike fantasieë by hom wakker maak? Geheim van die gruwelsand is ’n barre konkoksie van lekkerlees-genres: ’n skop-skiet-en-wonder-storie.

Varina Howell
"Varina Davis is a lady in any event," Southern women of thearistocratic circles of Washington told the war correspondent of theLondon Times who had been sent to the National Capital to reportall the news he could gather concerning the secession of the SouthernStates from the great American Union. There was a finality in their tonesand manner as if the fact settled the whole question and right ofsecession. And being such perfect ladies themselves, who could be a betterjudge of what it took to be one. . . . They further informed him thatVarina was popular and had friends and social influence in Washington,adding with pursed lips that she belonged to the set they called nicepeople; not like such people as he had seen in the White House.Thus Mrs. Jefferson Davis was described to one who, with piqued curiosity,was soon to meet her as the First Lady of the Southern Confederacy. . . .But Varina Howell Davis came proudly to her high station. She was notwithout a due understanding of its significance, nor was she without thefeeling that she, in some degree, deserved the distinction."--from Chapter IIn this volume, Mrs. Rowland has written a charming and accuratehistorical narrative of the Southern Confederacy in which the wife ofJefferson Davis plays a part that holds and fascinates the reader. Thenarrative, written in an easy, yet frank and forceful style, denotes thework as an important contribution to American biography.

Grievous Entanglement
How abolitionists persuaded people of their personal complicity with slavery to advance the cause of freedom Grievous Entanglement explores the most common way that people in the Atlantic world came to understand their personal connection to, and complicity with, slavery in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: consumption. Consumption became a formidable trope that tied the evils of chattel slavery to individuals' behavior through their purchase of slave-produced commodities like cotton or sugar. With her groundbreaking analysis of this dominant conceptual framework, Erin Pearson provides new insight into both the motivation behind and the functioning of antislavery activism. Unlike sentimental literature, which sought to engender sympathy for the enslaved, consumption-as-connection leveraged aversion to inspire people to sever their ties with an evil institution. Strategic disgust, Pearson shows, proved effective in inciting abolitionist action. It also frequently slipped into nonabolitionist and even proslavery uses by actually fomenting racism, as this book is the first to demonstrate. Examining a wide variety of media, including poetry, political cartoons, blackface minstrelsy, slave narratives, and novels produced from the late eighteenth to mid-nineteenth centuries, this ingeniously interdisciplinary study reveals how aversive consumption powerfully shaped ideas about slavery to both positive and pernicious effect.

Patchwork Leviathan
Corruption and ineffectiveness are often expected of public servants in developing countries. However, some groups within these states are distinctly more effective and public oriented than the rest. Why? Patchwork Leviathan explains how a few spectacularly effective state organizations manage to thrive amid general institutional weakness and succeed against impressive odds. Drawing on the Hobbesian image of the state as Leviathan, Erin Metz McDonnell argues that many seemingly weak states actually have a wide range of administrative capacities. Such states are in fact patchworks sewn loosely together from scarce resources into the semblance of unity.McDonnell demonstrates that when the human, cognitive, and material resources of bureaucracy are rare, it is critically important how they are distributed. Too often, scarce bureaucratic resources are scattered throughout the state, yielding little effect. McDonnell reveals how a sufficient concentration of resources clustered within particular pockets of a state can be transformative, enabling distinctively effective organizations to emerge from a sea of ineffectiveness.Patchwork Leviathan offers a comprehensive analysis of successful statecraft in institutionally challenging environments, drawing on cases from contemporary Ghana and Nigeria, mid-twentieth-century Kenya and Brazil, and China in the early twentieth century. Based on nearly two years of pioneering fieldwork in West Africa, this incisive book explains how these highly effective pockets differ from the Western bureaucracies on which so much state and organizational theory is based, providing a fresh answer to why well-funded global capacity-building reforms fail—and how they can do better.

Gathering Hopewell
Among the most socially and personally vocal archaeological remains on the North American continent are the massive and often complexly designed earthen architecture of Hopewellian peoples of two thousand years ago, their elaborately embellished works of art made of glistening metals and stones from faraway places, and their highly formalized mortuaries. In this book, twenty-one researchers in interwoven efforts immerse themselves and the reader in this vibrant archaeological record in order to richly reconstruct the societies, rituals, and ritual interactions of Hopewellian peoples.By finding the faces, actions, and motivations of Hopewellian peoples as individuals who constructed knowable social roles, the authors explore, in a personalized and locally contextualized manner, the details of Hopewellian life: leadership, its sacred and secular power bases, recruitment, and formalization over time; systems of social ranking and prestige; animal-totemic clan organization, kinship structures, and sodalities; gender roles, prestige, work load, and health; community organization in its tri-scalar residential, symbolic, and demographic forms; intercommunity alliances and changes in their strategies and expanses over time; and interregional travels for power questing, pilgrimage, healing, tutelage, and acquiring ritual knowledge. This book is useful to scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates interested in the workings and development of social complexity at local and interregional scales, recent theoretical developments in the anthropology of the topics listed above, the prehistory of eastern North America, its history of intellectual development, and Native American ritual, symbolism, and belief.

Diversity in Libraries
Since the mid 1980s academic libraries have established minority residency programs in an effort to increase the representation of librarians of color in their institutions. Now more than a decade later, these programs continue to be developed. Essays written by librarians of color who participated in residency programs, and administrators whose institutions made the programs possible, remind us of the continuing need for diversity in academic libraries.
