Everyone wants to find buried treasure. Right? What about a reef of gold? In 1911, Harold Bell Lasseter announced to the world he had found a fabulous reef of gold in outback central Australia. A reef of gold bearing rock some five or more miles long. When Lasseter eventually convinced enough financial backers to go search for the gold reef again in 1930, not only did the expedition not find any trace of the reef but Lasseter lost his life when he continued searching on his own. Over the years many have searched for the reef, but no one has found it. Does it exist or was it Lasseter's folly?Harry, a recent graduate with a degree in geology, was given a hand written journal as a graduation present from his Grandad, a gold prospector for most of his life. Does the journal contain directions to Lasseter's Reef? Is there a map identifying where the reef is located? If not, is there some other reason why no one has found a trace of the reef since Lasseter first saw it in 1911?There is an old saying amongst gold prospectors that "gold moves". and "you find gold, where you find it".Outback central Australia is an old land, nothing ever changes, so the locals say. Does that mean that as no one has ever found a single trace of Lasseter's Reef that Lasseter was a con artist? You make up your own mind as you follow Harry, Naomi, Clowie, Johno and Jacob in their hunt for potentially the largest gold reef the world has ever known.

Lays out a range of theories, terms, and concepts and shows how they work together to centre materiality in the study of religion. Integrating carefully curated visual evidence, Morgan applies these ideas and methods to case studies across a variety of religious traditions, modeling step-by-step analysis and emphasizing historical context.
Snobbery is a more serious matter than some may think: the arguments around Brexit and Trump show that accusations of snobbery have become part of political discourse and public sentiment, building social divisions and reflecting deeper issues of class inequality. Social class is not simply about wealth, health and life-chances but also about everyday social experience, such as being included or excluded. As social inequality grows, snobbery is becoming ever more pertinent. This book takes a fresh and engaging look at this key issue, drawing on literature, popular culture and autobiography as well as sociology and history. David Morgan explores the complex history and different varieties of snobbery as well as its all-pervasive character to reveal why, despite claims about the openness of our society, it is still a matter of public concern.

It is generally accepted that Britain was held together during the Second World War by a spirit of national democratic "consensus". But whose interests did the consensus serve? And how did it unravel in the years immediately after victory?.
Religions teach their adherents how to see and feel at the same time; learning to see is not a disembodied process but one hammered from the forge of human need, social relations, and material practice. David Morgan argues that the history of religions may therefore be studied through the lens of their salient visual themes. The Forge of Vision tells the history of Christianity from the sixteenth century through the present by selecting the visual themes of faith that have profoundly influenced its development. After exploring how distinctive Catholic and Protestant visual cultures emerged in the early modern period, Morgan examines a variety of Christian visual practices, ranging from the imagination, visions of nationhood, the likeness of Jesus, the material life of words, and the role of modern art as a spiritual quest, to the importance of images for education, devotion, worship, and domestic life. An insightful, informed presentation of how Christianity has shaped and continues to shape the modern world, this work is a must-read for scholars and students across fields of religious studies, history, and art history.

The Capitol Press Corps is a study of the interaction of New York State legislators, senior public officials, and the Capitol press corps during the three years following Nelson Rockefeller's departure.
?Morgan analyzes in depth the role played by agency press information officers--flacks--in the federal government from 1974 to 1984. He examines the media-government relationship below the White House level and in particular the role and significance of media relation officers....' The author used interviews and questionnaires to gather much of his data. The analysis is presented in two parts: micro-relations between reporters and flacks; and macro-political relationships focusing on presidential successes and failures at opinion formulation.... The final chapter draws conclusions, the main one being that notwithstanding flacks, American reporters remain remarkably free to challenge the holders of power. Ample notes; bibliography. Public and academic libraries, lower division through graduate.?-Choice
