The Dead Sea Scrolls are found in many varied publications -- often ordered only by publication date, rather than a more easily navigable system -- making specific texts difficult to find. Joseph Fitzmyer's guide offers a practical remedy to this dilemma. A Guide to the Dead Sea Scrolls and Related Literature starts by explaining the conventional system of abbreviations for the Scrolls. Then it helpfully lists specifically where readers can find each of the Scrolls and fragmentary texts from the eleven caves of Qumran and all the related sites, using the officially assigned numbers of the text. Fitzmyer supplies information on study tools helpful for scholars -- concordances, dictionaries, translations, outlines of longer texts, and more -- and briefly indicates electronic resources for the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The people of Taquile Island on the Peruvian side of beautiful Lake Tiricaca, the highest navigable lake in the Americas, are renowned for the hand-woven textiles that they both wear and sell to outsiders. One thousand seven hundred Quechua-speaking peasant farmers, who depend on potatoes and the fish from the lake, host the forty thousand tourists who visit their island each year. Yet only twenty-five years ago, few tourists had even heard of Taquile. In Weaving a Future: Tourism, Cloth, and Culture on an Andean Island, Elayne Zorn documents the remarkable transformation of the isolated rocky island into a community-controlled enterprise that now provides a model for indigenous communities worldwide. Over the course of three decades and nearly two years living on Taquile Island, Zorn, who is trained in both the arts and anthropology, learned to weave from Taquilean women. She also learned how gender structures both the traditional lifestyles and the changes that tourism and transnationalism have brought. In her comprehensive and accessible study, she reveals how Taquileans used their isolation, landownership, and communal organizations to negotiate the pitfalls of globalization an

Mikell Groover, author of the leading text in manufacturing processes, has developedIntroduction to Manufacturing Processes as a more navigable and student-friendly text paired with a strong suite of additional tools and resources online to help instructors drive positive student outcomes. Focusing mainly on processes, tailoring down the typical coverage of both materials and systems.  The emphasis on manufacturing science and mathematical modeling of processes is an important attribute of the new book.  Real world/design case studies are also integrated with fundamentals -  process videos provide students with a chance to experience being ‘on the floor' in a manufacturing facility, followed by case studies that provide individual students or groups of students to dig into larger/more design-oriented problems.

The 18th century saw a resurgence of hope that a Northwest Passage - that elusive target of European seamen over the centuries - might yet be found. Prompted by the Irish MP Arthur Dobbs, the Admiralty sent the Furnace and Discovery to Hudson Bay in 1741 in search of a navigable passage to the Pacific. The expedition was commanded by Christopher Middleton, until his resignation in 1741 a sea captain in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company. With his actions closely scrutinized by his former employers and colleagues, concerned about possible interference with the fur trade, Middleton wintered at the Company fort at Churchill. From there in the summer of 1742 he sailed farther north along the west coast of Hudson Bay than any previous European explorer, charting Wager bay, Repulse Bay and Frozen Strait; but he failed to find a passage. After his return to England he found himself accused of negligence and corruption. Dobbs attacked both him and the Hudson's Bay Company in a campaign which ruined Middleton's professional reputation and opened the way for a further expedition to the Bay. The controversy over the Middleton expedition helps to explain the wealth of documentation which has survived. In angry pamphlet exchanges Dobbs and Middleton published their letters to each other; and to these the editors have added Dobb's manuscript Memorial on the Northwest Passage, his correspondence with Judge Ward, and documents from the Admiralty and other government departments. The voyage itself is seen through the pages of Middleton's journal, supplemented with extracts from the journals, logs and affidavits of other crew members. From the Hudson's Bay Company's archives the journal of James Isham, factor at Churchill, adds to the story of the expedition's wintering. The final section deals with the controversy which developed after Middleton's return, and prints the more important charges and counter-charges which were made in the years 1743 to 1745.

In the pages of this book are the stories of how the city developed:from rugged outpost to high technology center. The book is profusely and lavishly illustrated with photographs that reveal the events, lives, and personalities of yesteryear and today. Some of the topics include:Rancho de las Pulgas.The Arguello Family.Saloons and Bordellos.City Government..Becoming the county seat.Hides and Leather.Oysters and Salt from the bay.The Port of Redwood City.An Airport in Redwood City!The railroad.The police and Fire Departments.The fire department.Redwood City's Parks and Schools.Redwood Shores.Marine World.Hispanics and Japanese in the city.Rodeos.High technology and entrepreneurs.

South of the Finger Lakes, where four rivers converge, the Lands of the Painted Post have served people as both a thoroughfare and a gathering place for millennia. This region’s location within a passageway through the hills, its navigable water routes, and its tremendous potential for mill sites and agriculture rendered Painted Post a favored site for human settlement. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Painted Post experienced unprecedented cultural, social, and economic change. That history is vividly illustrated in Painted Post.

The Hittites in the Late Bronze Age became the mightiest military power in the Ancient Near East. Yet their empire was always vulnerable to destruction by enemy forces; their Anatolian homeland occupied a remote region, with no navigable rivers; and they were cut off from the sea. Perhaps most seriously, they suffered chronic underpopulation and sometimes devastating plague. How, then, can the rise and triumph of this ancient imperium be explained, against seemingly insuperable odds?In his lively treatment of one of antiquity's most mysterious civilizations, whose history disappeared from the records more than 3,000 years ago, Trevor Bryce sheds fresh light on Hittite warrior as well as religious and political culture and offers new solutions to many unsolved questions.Revealing them to have been masters of chariot warfare, who almost inflicted disastrous defeat on Rameses II at the Battle of Kadesh (1274 BCE), he shows the Hittites also to have been devout worshippers of a pantheon of storm-gods and masters of a new diplomatic system which bolstered their authority for centuries.

In antebellum America water used for power ranked in value among such natural resources as agricultural land, timber, navigable rivers, and deposits of coal and metal ores. Waterpower, available to nearly every community, was used to ease many daily burdens and to imporve the living standards of the long succession of pioneer settlements. During the prerailroad years, waterpower was a crucial factor in the advance of American Industrialization, especially in water rich New England. Louis Hunter provides here a complete and detailed account of waterpower in the United States from Colonial Times to its gradual decline after 1900. The volume is an important contribution to technological, economic, and social history. The author examines closely the water mills of early settlements and small communities, explains the design and construction of various types of waterwheels, and discusses the importance of waterpower in the social structure of the time. He chronicles carefully the transition from simple waterwheels, used primarily for the production of grain and lumber to waterpower used in manufacturing, especially for the burgeoning textile industry.
