Inscribed Vervels: A corpus and discussion of late medieval and Renaissance hawking rings found in Britain
This book provides a corpus of inscribed hawking rings (vervels) reported Treasure via the Portable Antiquities Scheme over the last twenty years. Since vervels are normally inscribed with information about their owners, they constitute an important social and archaeological record. This information is explored through the corpus, which shows the objects to have been owned predominantly by men of status, particularly in the Stuart period. Also in…
City of Refuge
City of refuge
The vision of Utopia obsessed the nineteenth-century mind, shaping art, literature, and especially town planning. In City of Refuge, Michael Lewis takes readers across centuries and continents to show how Utopian town planning produced a distinctive type of settlement characterized by its square plan, collective ownership of properties, and communal dormitories. Some of these settlements were sanctuaries from religious persecution, like those of …
Conclusion
This concluding chapter summarizes key themes and presents some final thoughts. It argues that the cities of refuge examined in this book were intended to be sanctuaries from the modern world, but they became a source and stimulus for that world. Because of their compact nature, physical isolation, and social homogeneity, they had the purity of a control group in a laboratory experiment. And those variables that they were testing were precisely t…
Harmony
This chapter focuses on Johann Georg Rapp, who persuaded nearly a thousand of his followers to leave Germany for America, where they would build three towns in the wilderness, and in the process renounce private property, personal ambition, and even sexual relations. These towns he named Harmony (1804), New Harmony (1814), and Economy (1824); all remain intact today to an unusual degree. They reveal Rapp's ever more imaginative use of architectur…

Architecture and Artifacts of the Pennsylvania Germans
The Canonical Alfred Hitchcock
When the call went out, about a generation ago, that the Western canon must be purged of its surfeit of white males, the cry was loudest in departments of English. (Why this should be so--why it is easier to rally a mob against Milton and Spenser, say, than Michelangelo and Mozart--has never been satisfactorily explained.) And it is more than ironic that that same canon has in the intervening years been expanded to include someone who might be re…
Questioning the Archaeological Authority of the Bayeux Tapestry
The Bayeux Tapestry is the earliest known visual record of the events leading to the Norman Conquest of England. In view of this fact, the poor survival of eleventh-century material culture, and the dearth of contemporary imagery depicting secular life on the eve of the Conquest, it is no surprise that historians and archaeologists have quarried it as a source for contemporary life (and death) in the eleventh century. However, have scholars been …

Ahec in West Virginia
This case study describes the area health education centers (AHEC) program in West Virginia, spanning 30 years from a first‐generation project at Charleston in 1972 (AHEC 1) to a newly funded statewide program (AHEC 2). The outcome is an evolving universitycommunity partnership designed to meet changing workforce and community health needs in the heart of rural Appalachia. West Virginia University's (WVU's) application of the original Carnegie Co…
Cognitive functioning in 8- to 18-month old drug-exposed infants
This study examined the cognitive functioning in 236 infants at 8 and 18 months of age.Thirty-seven infants were heavily exposed to cocaine in-utero, 30 were lightly exposed, and 169 were not exposed to cocaine.Cognitive functioning was evaluated with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (2nd ed.; N. Bayley, 1993) at both ages.Infant information processing was also assessed with an infantcontrolled habituation procedure.Results indicated that …
The Benefits of Telephone‐Access Medical Consultation
A major disadvantage of rural medical practice is the limited reserve of consultative options. To determine the perceived clinical utility and educational impact of the West Virginia University Medical Access and Referral System (MARS), a 24‐hour prompt telephone‐consultation service, a mailed questionnaire was administered to 303 West Virginia clinicians who had used MARS for infectious disease problems. The overall questionnaire response rate w…
