"I heard drawers and closet doors open and close as the policemen continued their search in the bedrooms. My files were stacked in the office. Those papers could connect my name and my face. My picture albums were piled on the floor. If the officers opened them, they'd see that I was the mother they were looking for. I thought of everything they might find to bring my charade crashing down around me." With the intensity of a mystery novel and the heart of a true life drama, this heartbreaking memoir details Murphy's years spent on the run with her young son. Disappearing Act is a gripping...

Pieces of paper that claimed to be good for two dollars upon redemption at a distant bank. Foreign coins that fluctuated in value from town to town. Stock certificates issued by turnpike or canal companies--worth something... or perhaps nothing. IOUs from farmers or tradesmen, passed around by people who could not know the person who first issued them.

Women and Death Rituals in Late Antiquity
ISBN: 9783846583739 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Widely scattered primary data from late antiquity confirm that Roman-Christian families managed the rituals for death, burial, and commemoration of the dead at the domestic level. Household worship was regulated by Roman law, which explains in large part the lack of any serious interest by the emergent church in funerary matters until the mid-eighth century. During the interim therefore, Christian women as the primary caregivers and ritual specialists of the 'familia' assisted the dying, prepared the corpse for burial, lamented the dead in song, poetry, music, drama, and dance hosted funerary...

ISBN: 9781421411941 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Investing in Life considers the creation and expansion of the American life insurance industry from its early origins in the 1810s through the 1860s and examines how its growth paralleled and influenced the emergence of the middle class.
