‎The Legacy‎

‎Dutton / Signet 1999 373 pages 16 8x10 9x3 1cm. 1999. Broché. 373 pages. The central feature of this Stephen Frey novel is a fascination with the Kennedy assassination and the answer that conspiracy junkies have long believed: that the United States government has been involved in covering up the existence of a second gunman ever since that fateful day in November 1963. In Frey's world while the government was not responsible for the assassination the belief that evidence of a conspiracy would have pushed the Cold War into a hot one "forced" those at the top to keep that evidence to themselves. The novel's prologue sets the stage as a struggling actress goes to Dallas and films the motorcade on a whim. Before she has even digested that she has captured one of the most memorable moments in American history her camera is ripped from her grasp by a mysterious man. The chapter that follows jumps to 1998 as New York bonds trader Cole Egan receives a phone call telling him of his estranged father's death and of a package that awaits him in a safety deposit box. The package of course contains a video of the film stolen from the actress and Cole realizes he is sitting on a gold mine: from the other side of Dealey Plaza the tape shows the firing rifle denied by the Warren Commission. Of course the U.S. government has not gone to all the trouble of keeping such information secure for over 30 years just to let some upstart indebted bonds trader make a fortune selling the truth to the highest bidder. The novel takes flight as the dashing and resourceful Cole begins his quest to receive the benefits of his legacy while competently evading the knives guns and explosives of a super secret government agency. Not only is the government (portrayed as a surprisingly well-organized structure) intent on controlling the truth so are those who might be accused of the assassination. Although Cole is initially confident about who the bad guys are the suspense builds as the line separating allies and enemies dissolves and our hero finds out quite a lot about himself his father and the lengths to which the government will go to keep its secrets. --Kimberly Crouch‎

‎Archival Historiographies. The Impact of Twentieth-Century Legacy Data on Archaeological Investigations‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, xii + 180 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:142 b/w, 4 col., 1 tables b/w., 2 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503600185.‎

‎Summary Archives held in institutions around the world hold a wealth of material but traditionally, the fields of Classical and ancient Near Eastern archaeology have been slow to make use of such legacy data in their investigations. In recent years, however, this trend has begun to change, and scholars increasingly recognize the importance of archival material to their research. Drawing directly on these trends, this volume offers the first in-depth analysis of what it means to engage in archive archaeology and how it can influence understandings of both the ancient world and the recent past. Excavation historiographies and the formation of archaeological archives in the twentieth century are investigated in locations from across the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, with current understanding of sites such as Dura Europos or Palmyra being fundamentally reassessed in the light of the archival material. Crucially, the volume contributions gathered here look to the future as well as to the past: archives are acknowledged as essential to cultural heritage preservation and restitution initiatives, and chapters explore best practices, as well as presenting some of the manifold potentials of archive and legacy data to future research.

‎Avicenna and his Legacy A Golden Age of Science and Philosophy,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2010 Hardback, XVI+381 p., 5 b/w ill., 20 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503527536.‎

‎Readers interested in the history of science and philosophy will enjoy this collection on the Islamic thinker Avicenna, whose work and influence remain understudied, even though the legacy has rightly been characterized as a Golden Age of science and philosophy. The centuries immediately following upon the monumental achievements of Avicenna (d. 1036) have been rightly characterized as a golden age of science and philosophy. Generation after generation scrutinized the Avicennan legacy, explicating and expanding upon the wealth of writings left by the master. Critical thinking in logic and astronomy, medicine and metaphysics spurred many new developments. This volume presents seventeen essays on Avicenna, his followers and his critics, many of whom are just now being introduced to western scholarship. The contributors to Avicenna and his Legacy include both established scholars as well as some of the best of the new generation. Languages : English. ‎

‎Judith of West Francia, Carolingian Princess and First Countess of Flanders. Biographical Elements and Legacy‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 254 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:22 col., 5 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503604619.‎

‎Summary Judith of West Francia is one of the most enigmatic of Charlemagne's early descendants. The daughter of the king of West Francia and future emperor Charles the Bald and his wife Ermentrude, she was one of only a handful of Carolingian princesses who were destined for marriage. Over the course of her teenage years she married two successive kings of Wessex, became the first consecrated queen of England, was widowed twice, returned to Francia with an immense dowry, and sparked a major diplomatic incident when she eloped with a nobleman from Flanders called Baldwin. Eventually she married Baldwin in early 864, and together they established the dynasty of the counts of Flanders. In doing so the couple laid the groundwork for what would become one of the mightiest and most prestigious territorial principalities in north-western Europe in the tenth and eleventh centuries. But even in the tenth century, exceedingly few written memories of Judith's life survived. This explains why she was never the subject of a biography in the medieval or early modern eras, and why scholarship's understanding of her life and legacy remains highly fragmented. This volume sets the record straight, offering an accessible and interdisciplinary discussion of all relevant and documented aspects of Judith's life and legacy.
