Each August staff and volunteers begin to construct Black Rock City, a temporary city located in the hostile and haunting Black Rock Desert of northwestern Nevada. Every September nearly seventy thousand people occupy the city for Burning Man, an event that creates the sixth-largest population center in Nevada. By mid-September the infrastructure that supported the community is fully dismantled, and by October the land on which the city lay is scrubbed of evidence of its existence. The Archaeology of Burning Man examines this process of building, occupation, and destruction. For nearly a decade Carolyn L. White has employed archaeological methods to analyze the various aspects of life and community in and around Burning Man and Black Rock City. With a syncretic approach, this work in active-site archaeology provides both a theoretical basis and a practical demonstration of the potential of this new field to reexamine the most fundamental conceptions in the social sciences.

A Bible-based novel, The Rise charts how God raised up a caring shepherd boy David from a dysfunctional Bethlehem family to become a giant killing warrior, leader, psalm writer, and Israel’s greatest king. Readers of fiction, history and biblical novels will love his daring adventures and life-changing encounter with God on a mount called the Rise. Learn from David’s fascination with the Rise why Jerusalem is special, then and now. This good-read faithfully follows the Bible narrative, expanding real-life-stories about poet-musician David’s life in ancient Israel reflected by Parker’s biblical knowledge and imagination. Both exciting and inspirational, David’s heroic triumph over Goliath precedes years of despair and dangerous flight from paranoid King Saul. Experience great miracles of God, revealing history lessons, and faith-stretching trials of this talented and devoted “man after the heart of God.” Grow your faith as David trusts the LORD in dangerous scenes, truly repents his dreadful sins, and inspires by his psalms. Be intrigued by his unique parentage, faithful mother, and relationship with men like Joab and his 600 Mighty Men. Can his disgraceful tryst with Bathsheba be pardoned or anger with God over the ark’s tragedy be pacified? Answers and more are abundant in The Rise.

On April 24, 2004, Thomas Green III was driving a military truck down a dusty road in Iraq when an explosion ripped the wheel out of his hands. The injuries he sustained as a result of this attack changed his life forever. He joined the U.S. Army in 2001 and was deployed to Iraq in February 2004. Serving in Iraq and spending thirteen months in an Army hospital gave him a good look at war. Everybody knows the traditional story: soldiers leave home, get shot, and even die. But few know about the psychological effects of war. Whatever happened to him, he stood up again on his own two feet. At Walter Reed Army Medical Center, surrounded by other injured soldiers, he realized the importance of uplifting and inspiring each other. Sharing their stories helped get them through trying times. He felt that God wanted him to share his testimony, telling how He got him through this ordeal and changed his life forever. He commends Him for giving him the strength to put his story together. He even thanks Him for the pain, because it taught him how to lean on God.
