Indiana University Bloomington
Amid the forested hills of southern Indiana stands one of
America's most beautiful college campuses. Indiana University
Bloomington: America's Legacy Campus, the new edition , returns
the reader to this architectural gem and cultural touchstone.
Revised and updated to include new buildings and features of campus
life, it is a must have for any Hoosier.
The IU Bloomington campus, rich in architectural tradition,
harmonious in building scale and materials, and surrounded by
natural beauty, stands today as a testimony to careful campus
planning and committed stewardship. Planning principles adopted in
the very early stages of campus development have been protected,
enhanced, and faithfully preserved, resulting in an institution
that can truly be called America's Legacy Campus.
Lavishly illustrated and brimming with fascinating details, this
book tells the story of Indiana University-a tale not only of
buildings, architecture, and growth, but of the talented, dedicated
people who brought the buildings to life. Completely updated with
new buildings and an epilogue, and now even more lavishly
illustrated, this new edition is a lasting tribute to the treasure
that is Indiana University Bloomington.

A Reference Grammar of Kotiria (Wanano)
Published through the Recovering Languages and Literacies of the Americas initiative, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
This volume is the first descriptive grammar of Kotiria (Wanano), a member of the eastern Tukanoan language family spoken in the Vaupes River basin of Colombia and Brazil in the northwest Amazon rain forest. The Kotirias, who have lived in this remote region for more than seven hundred years, participate in the complex Vaupés social system, characterized by long-standing linguistic and cultural interaction. The Kotirias remained relatively isolated from the dominant societies until the early part of the twentieth century, when increasing outside influence in the region triggered rapid social and linguistic change. Today the Kotirias number only about sixteen hundred people, and their language, though still used in traditional communities, is in risk of becoming endangered.
Kristine Stenzel draws on eight years of intensive work with the Kotirias to promote, record, and revitalize their language. Working with dozens of native speakers and drawing on numerous oral narratives and written texts, this book is the first comprehensive study of this endangered language and one of the few reference grammars of this language family.

Kiowa Belief and Ritual
Directed by anthropologist Alexander Lesser in 1935, the Santa Fe Laboratory of Anthropology sponsored a field school in southwestern Oklahoma that focused on the neighboring Kiowas. During two months, graduate students compiled more than 1,300 pages of single-spaced field notes derived from cross-interviewing thirty-five Kiowas. These eyewitness and first-generation reflections on the horse and buffalo days are undoubtedly the best materials available for reconstructing pre-reservation Kiowa beliefs and rituals. The field school compiled massive data resulting in a number of publications on this formerly nomadic Plains tribe, though the planned collaborative ethnographies never materialized. The extensive Kiowa field notes, which contain invaluable information, remained largely unpublished until now.InKiowa Belief and Ritual, Benjamin R. Kracht reconstructs Kiowa cosmology during the height of the horse and buffalo culture from field notes pertaining to cosmology, visions, shamans, sorcery, dream shields, tribal bundles, and the now-extinct Sun Dance ceremony. These topics are interpreted through the Kiowa concept of a power force permeating the universe. Additional data gleaned from the field notes of James Mooney and Alice Marriott enrich the narrative. Drawing on more than thirty years of field experiences, Kracht's discussion of how indigenous notions of \"power\" are manifested today significantly enhances the existing literature concerning Plains religions.
