In the aftermath of the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, the discovery of unmarked mass graves revealed Europe's worst atrocity since World War II: the genocide in the UN "e;safe area"e; of Srebrenica. To Know Where He Lies provides a powerful account of the innovative genetic technology developed to identify the eight thousand Bosnian Muslim (Bosniak) men and boys found in those graves and elsewhere, demonstrating how memory, imagination, and science come together to recover identities lost to genocide. Sarah E. Wagner explores technology's import across several areas of postwar Bosnian society-for families of the missing, the Srebrenica community, the Bosnian political leadership (including Serb and Muslim), and international aims of social repair-probing the meaning of absence itself.

Reina Cahill is about to learn the truth about herself by returning to a world of shapeshifters and sorcerers, of ancient secrets and older magic, a world where she will win the friendship of monsters and the love of a vigilante sorcerer and save the world. DESTINED TO RULE Reina Cahill is used to taking on the problems of others. As the owner of a store purveying all things witchy-and also as someone hiding inexplicable powers of magic and empathy-she's learned people offer not only their business but long and lingering psychic emanations of their ailments and emotions and even their humanity. Every customer is like an open book, and yet each reminds her that she is unique, alone, a refugee from a traumatic past impossible to fathom. But the man outside her shop tonight is different. He feels like...home. That home is not familiar, though it holds answers to many questions. There are those who seek Reina's death. To survive, she must return to a place of shapeshifters and sorcerers, of ancient secrets and older magic, of dragons and witches and a crown yet to be seized. But Reina's responsibilities will only grow. She must win the friendship of monsters and the love of a vigilante sorcerer, for finally she must claim her Eldercynne destiny and save the world.

The powers responsible for protecting the borders can't-or won't-put a stop to it. In fact, the only person willing to believe her is sorcerer Blake Pratt. Distrustful of anyone or anything not entirely human, and certain the handsome magic-user knows more than he's telling her, Lei senses they'll have to act as one as she crosses into realms where human life is forbidden. She and Blake will risk everything-their lives, their souls, and their newfound love-to fight an army of demons to stop an apocalypse.

Thosha-Tol isn't supposed to exist. For the first years of his life, the only person who can even see him is the guardian chosen by the Goddesses who created him. Thosha-Tol is Jaffine, the last race on a steadily advancing planet who still follow the laws of the Goddesses, rejecting all technology in favor of a simple life. But Thosha was created to break all of their laws. In order to save his Goddesses, Thosha-Tol will need to travel where no Jaffine has dared, away from his homeland, his planet, out to the stars where the god killers have gathered. Using the simple magic he was born with, Thosha-Tol must battle creatures that died out before history began and find those who pulled them out of the deadlands. When it matters most, Thosha-Tol finds himself betrayed and abandoned by his Goddesses, forced to choose who he wants to be. The guardian of the gods as he was born to be or the killer of gods he has the power to be.

The quest for knowledge drives men and women to do amazing things in the name of science but not all amazing things are good. There are always those who would use technology and scientific breakthrough to rule, to conquer. And there are always those who will fight back. We spend our days with machines in every pocket, on every wrist, jammed into every ear. We have become dependent on our technological wonders but, what happens when they start to wake? When they begin to talk back, to judge our actions. How will humanity measure up in the eyes of our creations? Follow these machines, or near machines, as they discover all that makes them human and what sets them apart. Standing on the threshold between man and machine, is it possible for a machine to be more more human than her creators? An inventor on the run learns the truth of his past and discovers how far he'll go for what matters most. A former fighter pilot must overcome her limitations to save her passenger and bear witness to the rebirth of his planet. A young soldier learns the true cost of war and the lengths men will go to to claim victory. A woman crosses the threshold of scientific breakthrough and becomes something more than human. Artificial intelligences, machines that think, hurt, and question. They love despite the cost. They protect despite the danger. Follow these machines, or near machines, join Kora, Avery, and Shade on their journey to discover all that makes them human, even when they aren't.

The Berlin Kunstkammer as such never existed. In the course of its long history, the electoral and then royal institution underwent continuous change. In dealing with the collection, the protagonists constantly reinvented the Brandenburg-Prussian Kunstkammer. This book takes an innovative approach to the multiple meanings of the history of the collection by examining the biographies of its objects. Like prisms, these holdings refract the history of the Kunstkammer from its beginnings around 1600 to the present day, showing the kaleidoscopic meanings attributed to artefacts and natural objects. The texts, written by authors from a variety of disciplines, trace the early history of Berlin's modern museum landscape and the differing paths that brought objects into the collections. The contributions present the results of a joint research project by the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, and the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.
