Merger Maniac by Delvin Chatterson

Merger Maniac by Delvin Chatterson

The archaeology of war has revealed evidence of bravery, sacrifice, heroism, cowardice, and atrocities. Mostly absent from these narratives of victory and defeat, however, are the experiences of prisoners of war, despite what these can teach us about cruelty, ingenuity, and human adaptability. The international array of case studies in Prisoners of War restores this hidden past through case studies of PoW camps of the Napoleonic era, the American Civil War, and both World Wars. These bring to light wide variations in historical and cultural details, excavation and investigative methods used, items found and their interpretation, and their contributions to archaeology, history and heritage. Illustrated with diagrams, period photographs, and historical quotations, these chapters vividly reveal challenges and opportunities for researchers and heritage managers, and revisit powerful ethical questions that persist to this day. Notorious and lesser-known aspects of PoW experiences that are addressed include: Designing and operating an 18th-century British PoW camp. Life and death at Confederate and Union American Civil War PoW camps. The role of possessions in coping strategies during World War I. The archaeology of the 'Great Escape' Experiencing and negotiating space at civilian internment camps in Germany and Allied PoW camps in Normandy in World War I. The role of archaeology in the memorial process, in America, Norway, Germany and France Graffiti, decorative ponds, illicit sake drinking, and family life at Japanese American camps As one of the first book-length examinations of this fascinating multidisciplinary topic, Prisoners of War merits serious attention from historians, social justice researchers and activists, archaeologists, and anthropologists.

Chatterson, Delvin: - Delvin Chatterson Like Dale Hunter, Del Chatterson is an engineer from UBC with an MBA from McGill and ran a computer products distribution business in Montreal in the 1980s. Some of the stories in his first novel of the Dale Hunter series, No Easy Money actually happened, but most are fiction. They're all my worst nightmares, he says, that I decided to share through these imagined stories.

He now has several new writing projects, including a short story collection and this series of business novels. He has published two business books, Don't Do It the Hard Way, A wise man learns from the mistakes of others, only a fool insists on making his own and The Complete Do-It-Yourself Guide to Business Plans. The business books share the real-life stories of entrepreneurs and the lessons learned. Originally from the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Del has lived and worked for most of the past forty years in the fascinating, multicultural, bilingual, French-Canadian city of Montreal, Quebec. He is dedicated to sharing his ideas, experience and advice with entrepreneurs to help improve their lives and their businesses. He has helped entrepreneurs around the world, including volunteer consulting and financial support in developing economies and in Aboriginal communities. His own life experience includes running nine marathons after the age of fifty (setting no records, but never being last) and running for Member of Parliament in the 2000 Canadian Federal election.
