Negotiating for the Past
The discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 was a landmark event in Egyptology that was celebrated around the world. Had Howard Carter found his prize a few years earlier, however, the treasures of Tut might now be in the British Museum in London rather than the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. That's because the years between World War I and World War II were a transitional period in Middle Eastern archaeology, as nationalists in Egypt and elsewhere asserted their claims to antiquities discovered within their borders.

F.C.S. Schiller and the Dawn of Pragmatism
The intellectual history of pragmatism traditionally posits that its origins are found in the works of C. S. Peirce, William James, and John Dewey. What if that story is only partially true?

Sioux Dawn
An Irish immigrant gets caught up in an explosive battle during Red Cloud's War in this action-packed Western adventure. "The author's attention to detail and authenticity, coupled with his ability to spin a darned good yarn, makes it easy to see why Johnston is today's best-selling frontier novelist. He's one of a handful that truly knows the territory." — Chicago Tribune No one captures the glory, adventure, and drama of the courageous men and women who tamed the America West like award-winning author Terry Johnston. His Plainsmen series brims with colorful characters, fierce battles, and compelling historical lore. The Civil War was over—and for cavalry sergeant turned soldier-of-fortune Seamus Donegan, the great westward march has begun. Along with other settlers and soldiers pouring out of the East along the Bozeman Trail, Seamus will make a dangerous journey into the heart of Indian territory . . . and cut deep into sacred grounds. For Red Cloud and his Sioux warriors, this means war. So begins an epic battle between two great civilizations: the Fetterman Massacre of 1866.
The State and Kurds in Turkey
Uniquely, Metin Heper suggests a theory of acculturation (rather than assimilation) captures the nature of State-Kurd interaction in Turkey, by not leaving any part of that interaction unaccounted for.
