Gods, Ghosts and Good Luck

15 Superstitions Our Ancestors Did or Did Not Warn Us About: The Secret History, Myth, and Hidden Origins of Everyday Rituals

Go to every funeral. The instruction arrived in a small cafe in Newark, New Jersey, delivered by a mother to her college-age daughter with a pointed finger and a tapped table. Six words. No explanation. No qualification. Just a command that contained, compressed into a single sentence, an entire philosophy of human obligation.David Boles carried that instruction for twenty-five years, through the deaths of a neighbor he kissed as a terrified five-year-old, a grandfather he watched die over years of weekend drives across Nebraska, a mother whose preplanned funeral left her survivors with nothing to do, a mentor who saved his life with a single phone call, a friend who died by suicide, and a cat who was his closest writing companion for fifteen years. Each loss tested the instruction. Each loss confirmed it.Go to Every Funeral: How Grief Defines the Living is a hybrid cultural investigation and memoir that asks what grief is, where it comes from, who controls it, and what happens when the structures designed to support it are broken.The investigation begins in the body, where neuroscience reveals that grief is a form of learning, a slow revision of the brain's internal map of the world. It moves through the animal kingdom, where elephants stand vigil over their dead and crows hold gatherings that researchers can only call funerals. It traces the history of death in America, from the family parlor to the professional funeral home to the refrigerated trucks of the COVID-19 pandemic. It surveys mourning practices across the globe, from the Torajan highlands of Indonesia to the burning ghats of Varanasi to the jazz funerals of New Orleans, identifying a universal grammar of mourning that every culture shares: communal acknowledgment, physical task, temporal structure, and an ongoing relationship with the dead.The book follows the money, examining how the American funeral industry converts grief into expenditure and how media organizations ration public mourning by race, class, and narrative potential. It confronts the culture of suppression that tells men not to cry, gives employees three days of bereavement leave, and excludes children from the rituals that would teach them how to grieve. It asks what happens when grief is disenfranchised, when the loss of a pet, a country, or a public figure is dismissed because it falls outside the approved hierarchy of things worth mourning.At its center is Howard Stein's instruction to the author after the death of Janna's mother: "Allow her to have her grief." Seven words that articulate the principle every grief suppressant violates. Grief belongs to the griever, and the only question is whether the world will let it be.

Routledge Studies in Cultural Heritage and International Law

The world has been shocked by the destruction of world cultural heritage sites over the past two decades, as seen in widely disseminated videos depicting events such as the demolition of the Buddhas of Bamiyan and the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra. These acts are perhaps the clearest and most glaring examples of what is meant by the 'Intentional Destruction of the Cultural Heritage of Humankind' (IDCHH).The book explores in detail the remedies against IDCHH available under international law. These remedies are defined as all the lawful responses provided for both by customary law and by the special responsibility regimes created under the many substantive areas of international law. The examination includes UNESCO instruments and UN measures for the maintenance of international peace, mechanisms for the protection of human rights and those for the protection of investments, and international criminal justice outcomes through the decisions of the Permanent Criminal Court. Thus, the book explores avenues for response such as appeals to international courts, peacekeeping operations and referrals to the criminal legislation of States, in addition to reparations. The concept of the Cultural Heritage of Humankind implies that IDCHH harms all States and all peoples and human groupings in the world, not only the State or people on whose territory the cultural property is located. The book identifies the international law avenues for subjects not directly injured by IDCHH to obtain its cessation and reparation. This book is essential reading for students, academics and practitioners exploring international law and the destruction of cultural heritage.

Critical Memory Studies

This open access book proposes slow memory as a new framework for understanding how remembrance operates across time, urging scholars and practitioners to resist the acceleration that characterizes both contemporary scholarship and public memory cultures. The authors explore the theoretical foundations of slow memory in relation to environmental humanities and Indigenous studies, emphasizing themes of deep time, intergenerational justice, and contested memory regimes. The collection focuses on the fields of environment, (de)industrialization, welfare, politics, and conflict to examine how gradual transformations impact the present through remembrance practices at different tempos. It advocates for a deceleration of scholarly and commemorative practices to develop ethical, sustainable, and inclusive engagements with the past. By foregrounding slowness as a conceptual and methodological tool, and slow memory as a "connective concept," this book offers a vital framework for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to rethink the temporalities of remembrance in an era of rapid transformation. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. This publication is based upon work from COST Action CA20105 on Slow Memory, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). COST is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.

Bold Quiet Warrior is an invitation to unlock the leader already in you.

Not through volume or visibility, but through practice-through preparation, responsibility, and care.

Drawing from a life shaped by family legacy, movement work, and leadership inside institutions, Diallo K. Brooks reflects on the quiet disciplines that sustain change over time. This book does not offer formulas or shortcuts. Instead, it explores what leadership asks of us when the spotlight fades: earning voice through preparation, stewarding power without ego, honoring capacity, and building what lasts.

Bold Quiet Warrior speaks to organizers, public servants, institution¿builders, and anyone who feels the pull of responsibility but resists performative leadership. It is for those who understand that leadership is not something bestowed or claimed-it is something already present, waiting to be practiced with intention.

This is not a story about arrival. It is an invitation to alignment. To lead from where you are. To stay when the work is slow.

Leadership does not always announce itself. Sometimes it begins quietly, when you choose to step forward.

Bold Quiet Warrior invites you to unlock that choice.

Bold Quiet Warrior

Refugiados

The story most often commonly told about the Maya involves their spectacular collapse at the height of their civilization in the early ninth century CE. Crops died, disease and malnutrition spread, and scorched earth warfare became common. People lost faith in their governments and moved to the Caribbean coast, the mountains of Guatemala, or further afield. But there is another tale that is equally compelling. One hundred years earlier, a group of kings known as the Snakes created a League and were able to force, cajole, or convince their fellow rulers to work towards common causes. In so doing, they took the first small steps towards something that had never existed in the Maya area: an empire. Blood on the Wind narrates this dramatic episode during the Classic Maya period (250-850 CE). From present-day central Mexico across central America, the League attempted to subdue their enemies and transition to an imperial force. In the heart of the lowlands, they created soaring temples, luxurious palaces, and public spaces that continue to captivate visitors to this region. Despite their achievements, a brutal, now forgotten war ensued, and the imperial experiment failed. Bringing to light the colorful individuals involved and their ambitions and flaws, Mesoamerican expert James L. Fitzsimmons recovers the world of this embryonic empire. Family rivalry, greed, grievances, and blindly clinging to the past meant that future generations would live in an environment where each kingdom made its own political and economic choices--but without the benefit of a stronger union.
