Studies in Contemporary and Historical Archaeology 2 Studies in Contemporary and Historical Archaeology is a new series of edited and single-authored volumes intended to make available current work on the archaeology of the recent and contemporary past. The series brings together contributions from academic historical archaeologists, professional archaeologists and practitioners from cognate disciplines who are engaged with archaeological material and practices. In this, the second volume in the series, the author presents a nuanced account of 19th and 20th century forest sawmill communities in southern Victoria, Australia. Weaving together archaeological and historical data, issues of community development, isolation, integration, and consumption practices are sensitively explored. Not only does the volume make a valuable contribution to the historical archaeology of rural Australia, but it provides an extended case study for others studying the history and archaeology of temporary work communities elsewhere in the emerging modern world.

Twenty-four "outstanding" pieces of American science & nature writing, edited by a renowned scientist and bestselling author ( Publishers Weekly). "Science is both essential and frivolous, jubilant and despairing, lovely and brutal, perfect and broken—all at the same time—just like the scientists who fashion it," writes Hope Jahren in her introduction to The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2017. The pieces honored in this collection celebrate astonishing wonders—from our public lands to a new way of tasting food we eat—and investigate grave perils, like the rapid progression of climate change, air pollution, and more. They show us the beauty and innovation of our planet, and how urgently we must fight to protect it from all those who take it for granted.
