Designing Experimental Research in Archaeology is a guide for the design of archaeological experiments for both students and scholars. Experimental archaeology provides a unique opportunity to corroborate conclusions with multiple trials of repeatable experiments and can provide data otherwise unavailable to archaeologists without damaging sites, remains, or artifacts. Each chapter addresses a particular classification of material culture-ceramics, stone tools, perishable materials, composite hunting technology, butchering practices and bone tools, and experimental zooarchaeology-detailing issues that must be considered in the development of experimental archaeology projects and discussing potential pitfalls. The experiments follow coherent and consistent research designs and procedures and are placed in a theoretical context, and contributors outline methods that will serve as a guide in future experiments. This degree of standardization is uncommon in traditional archaeological research but is essential to experimental archaeology. The field has long been in need of a guide that focuses on methodology and design. This book fills that need not only for undergraduate and graduate students but for any archaeologist looking to begin an experimental research project.

Explains two thousand words and terms associated with espionage agencies and activities around the world and provides anecdotes that illustrate, corroborate, and demystify the world and history of spying

Aradia is perhaps the first 20th century text of Witchcraft revival. It is repeatedly cited as being profoundly influential to the development of Wicca. The text corroborates the thesis of Margaret Murray that early modern and Renaissance witchcraft represented a survival of ancient pagan beliefs, The Charge of the Goddess, an important piece of liturgy used in Wiccan rituals, it was inspired by Aradia's speech in the first chapter of the book.

Excerpt from The Viking Age, Vol. 2 of 2: The Early History, Manners, and Customs of the Ancestors of the English-Speaking NationsIt is particularly striking, in reading the Sagas and the ancient laws which corroborate them, to see the high position women occupied in earlier and later pagan times.If we are to judge of the civilisation of a people in their daily life by the position women held with regard to men, we must conclude that in this respect the earlier Norse tribes could compare favourably with the most ancient civilised nations whose history has come down to us.A maiden was highly respected, and on becoming a wife she was greatly honoured, and her counsels had great weight; by marrying she became the companion and not the inferior of her husband. She held property in her own right, whatever she received by inheritance and by marriage being her own; though there were restrictions put upon her, as well as upon her husband, in regard to the use of her property.In a word, a retrograde movement in regard to the rights and standing of women took place after the extinction of the Asa creed. The high position they had occupied before was lost, and it is only latterly that they have striven, and in some countries with success, to regain the authority that once belonged to them in regard to property and other matters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Published in 1785, Immanuel Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals ranks alongside Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics as one of the most profound and influential works in moral philosophy ever written. In Kant's own words, its aim is to identify and corroborate the supreme principle of morality, the categorical imperative. He argues that human beings are ends in themselves, never to be used by anyone merely as a means, and that universal and unconditional obligations must be understood as an expression of the human capacity for autonomy and self-governance. As such, they are laws of freedom. This volume contains Mary Gregor's acclaimed translation of the work, sympathetically revised by Jens Timmermann, and an accessible, updated introduction by Christine Korsgaard.

From the back cover: "True ideas are those that we can assimilate, validate, corroborate, and verify" - this is William James's definition of the meaning of truth, appearing in his famous volume entitled Pragmatism (1907). The definition, and the book, proved intellectually explosive. James was attacked for his emphasis on the usefulness of truth; he was charged with denying real existence; he was accused of making the truth of religious beliefs consist solely in their "feeling good" to the believer. It was in an effort to answer his critics that William James published The Meaning of Truth - a lucid exposition and defense of pragmatism's most important and controversial tenets. First issued in 1909, The Meaning of Truth is here reprinted with an instructive modern introduction to James's pragmatism by Ralph Ross. Ann Arbor Paperbacks The University of Michigan Press

This work makes it possible for the public to access a wide variety of documents related to Japanese war crimes committed in Asia and the Pacific. Noteworthy is the fact that the previously declassified documents corroborate much that is already known about Japan’s wartime record. Furthermore, the material goes beyond the subject of war crimes and provides a wealth of historical information about the Axis nations. The range of Japanese-related documents, U.S. government as well as translated and original Japanese documents, merits extensive exploitation by academics, researchers, writers, veterans, and others interested in history. The files are filled with stories that need to be told.

Old Earth? Why Not! reveals some of the voluminous evidence which corroborates the only totally accurate history book ever written, the Bible. Mainstream science has deluded the public (either consciously, or unconsciously) regarding the paucity of old-earth-evolution evidence, and the overwhelming empirical confirmation of Genesis history. The evidences of cavemen, dinosaurs, fossil formation, natural selection, cosmological phenomena, the Ice Age, and historical human demographics support the chronology of events described within the book of origins, Genesis. None of the Bible has been disproved, and this book reveals many of the reasons (geologically, cosmologically, biologically, anthropologically, and literarily) why it will never be shown to be fallible. The tide will turn to the traditional understanding of earth and human history; an earth and universe in the thousands of years of age, a global flood, an Ice Age during human civilization, and an understanding that this all must have come from a Creator. See how the evidence beautifully dovetails with God's description of our origins.
