Paleontology/Archaeology
Extinct Mammals and the Archaeology
of the Ice Age Great Basin
Donald K. Grayson
A
s the Ice Age came to an end, North America lost a
stunning variety of animals. Mammoths, mastodons,
ground-dwelling sloths the size of elephants, beavers
the size of bears, pronghorn antelope the size of poodles,
llamas, and carnivores to chase them—sabertooth cats, dire
wolves, American lions and cheetahs; these and many more
were gone by 10,000 years ago.
Giant Sloths and Sabertooth Cats surveys all these animals,
with a particular focus on the Great Basin. It also explores
the major attempts to explain the extinctions. Because
some believe that they were due to the activities of human
hunters, the author also reviews the archaeological evidence

Western History/Biography
Cass Hite
The Life of an Old Prospector
James H. Knipmeyer
I
n the late 1800s and early 1900s, Cass Hite was a wellknown prospector in the Glen Canyon area of southern
Utah. He lived as a recluse yet knew most of the river
runners, trekkers, cowboys, and Native Americans that
passed through the region. He often wrote to newspapers
and was in turn sought out by reporters for his vibrant
comments. Hite followed the trail of gold and silver to
destinations throughout the West—a time recounted in a
memoir he penned in rhyming verse. After his death, his
name remained prominent in the region; the nearby Hite
Marina has kept his name in the public eye for thousands of
boaters.
Despite this notoriety, no one has written a full-length,
scholarly account of Hite’s life. This biography fills that
void, detailing Hite’s story from his birth in central Illinois
in 1845 to his death in Glen Canyon in 1914. It corrects some
of the accepted stories about Hite and puts others in their

A Story of Exploration, Murder, and Mystery in the
American West
Scott Thybony
I
n 1935, three people went missing on separate occasions
in the rugged canyon country of southeastern Utah.
A thirteen-year-old girl, Lucy Garrett, was tricked into
heading west with the man who had murdered her father
under the pretense of reuniting with him. At the same time,
a search was underway for Dan Thrapp, a young scientist on
leave from the American Museum of Natural History. Others
were scouring the same region for an artist, Everett Ruess,
who had disappeared into “the perfect labyrinth.”
Intrigued by this unusual string of coincidental
disappearances, Scott Thybony set out to learn what
happened. He traced the journey of Lucy Garrett from the
murder of her father to her dramatic courtroom testimony.
He followed the route of Dan Thrapp as he crossed an

Alma Richards, Olympian
Larry R. Gerlach
A
lma Richards, as an unsung high school student, set an
Olympic record for the high jump in the 1912 Stockholm
Olympics. He was the only native Utahn and member of the
LDS Church to win an Olympic gold medal in the twentieth
century. After a stellar collegiate track career that saw him
lead Cornell to three national championships, Richards for
two decades reigned as America’s most accomplished track
and field athlete, winning national titles in five different
events. Despite his prominence in the history of American
sports, this is the first treatment of his athletic career and
personal life.
More than a century has passed since Alma Richards
won an Olympic gold medal, yet this story about man and
sport—the drive to excel, victory as validation of hard work,
and the quest for public recognition and self-identity still
resonates today.

Mormon Studies / Biography
Gregory A. Prince
L
eonard Arrington is considered by many the foremost
twentieth-century historian of Mormonism. But
Arrington’s career was not without controversy. Gregory
Prince takes an in-depth look at this respected historian
and, in telling his story, gives readers insight into the
workings of the LDS Church in the late twentieth century.
In 1972, Arrington was asked to serve as the official
church historian, becoming the only professional historian
to hold that title. The shift of historiography from faith
promotion to scholarly research and professional analysis
was unacceptable to some powerful senior apostles. In
1980 the History Division was disassembled and moved
to Brigham Young University, where Arrington’s broad
influence on Mormon history remained strong.
The most comprehensive biography of Leonard Arrington to date—a
story of scholarship and controversy
This biography is the first to draw upon the remarkable
Arrington diaries (over 20,000 pages) and it is supplemented
by Prince’s interviews with more than 100 people who knew
Arrington. The book provides background to continuing LDS
struggles with member scholars, while illuminating the life
of one prominent intellectual.

GREGORY A. PRINCE earned doctorate degrees in dentistry (DDS) and
pathology (PhD) at UCLA and then pursued a four-decade career in
pediatric infectious disease research. His interest in history led him to
write several dozen articles and book chapters and three books, including
Power from on High: The Development of Mormon Priesthood and the
award-winning David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism,
coauthored with Wm. Robert Wright (University of Utah Press, 2005).

Mormonism and the Making
of a British Zion
Matthew Lyman Rasmussen
M
ormonism in Britain began in the late 1830s with the
arrival of American missionaries from the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Not long afterward,
thousands of British converts emigrated to Utah and became
a kind of lifeblood for the early Mormon Church. England’s
North West, where Mormonism had its strongest presence,
has become a place of profound significance to the church,
yet its early importance to Mormonism has never been fully
explored. Matthew Rasmussen’s detailed account examines
how Mormonism has changed and endured in Britain.
After many British believers left for America, church
membership in England fell so sharply that the movement
in Britain seemed to be on the brink of collapse. Yet British
Mormonism gradually rebuilt and continues today. How did
this religious minority flourish when so many nineteenth-

Historical and Contemporary Perspectives
Edited by Kate Holbrook and Matthew Bowman
H
ow do women who are members of a church with a
predominately patriarchal power structure experience
personal agency in formal religious settings, in intimate
relationships, publicly, and individually? From Jane
Manning James, an African American woman who found
empowerment and strength in Mormon ritual despite
suffering exclusion based on her race, to contemporary
church members who are more likely to prioritize personal
revelation than hierarchy, Mormon women have answered
this question in numerous ways.
This engaging and seminal volume employs vivid
primary documents, candid surveys, and illuminating oral
histories to explore the perspectives of Latter-day Saint
women. Contributors include lay members and prominent
scholars in multiple disciplines, including both LDS and
non-LDS viewpoints.

Directions for Mormon Studies in
the Twenty-First Century
Edited by Patrick Q. Mason
A
new era in Mormon studies is emerging from
an academy more attuned to the significance of
religion, the increased public prominence of Mormons
and Mormonism, and an increasing number of scholars
applying ever-more sophisticated methods to the study
of Mormonism. Directions for Mormon Studies in the TwentyFirst Century captures this fruitful time by bringing together
some of the most influential voices across the generations
of Mormon studies. Neither a survey of the field nor a mere
recapitulation of dominant themes, this volume charts
areas for exploration and modes of inquiry that reflect the
maturation of the field and help set the agenda for the next
generation of Mormon studies scholarship.

Between Turkish Ethnicity and Islamic Identity
Umut Uzer
T
urkish nationalism erupted onto the world stage in the
late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as first
Greeks, then Armenians and other minority groups within
the Ottoman Empire began to assert national identity and
seek independence. Umut Uzer examines the ideological
evolution and transformation of Turkish nationalism from
its early precursors to its contemporary protagonists.
Through a textual analysis of nationalist writings, this
volume considers how political developments influenced
Turkish nationalism. It tackles the question of how an
ideology that began as a revolutionary, progressive,
forward-looking ideal eventually transformed into one
that is conservative, patriarchal, and nostalgic about the
Ottoman and Islamic past. Between Islamic and Turkish Identity

Poetry
Davis McCombs
D
rawn from the rich folk traditions of his native
Kentucky as well as the folklore of his adopted Ozark
Mountains of Arkansas, the poems in Davis McCombs’s
third collection exist along the fraught lines where nature
and agriculture collide or in those charged moments where
modernity intrudes on an archaic world. These poems
celebrate out-of-the-way places, the lore of plants, wild
animals and their unknowable lives, and nearly forgotten
ways of being and talking and doing. Rendered in a language
of great lexical juxtapositions, here are days of soil and
labor, nights lit only by firelight, and the beings, possibly
not of this world, lured like moths to a flame. McCombs,
always a poet of place and of rootedness, writes poems
teetering between two locales, one familiar but achingly
distant, one bewildering but alluringly present.
Winner of the 2015 Agha Shahid Ali Poetry Prize
DAVIS MCCOMBS is the author of two previous collections of poetry. His
first book, Ultima Thule, was chosen by W. S. Merwin as the winner of the
1999 Yale Series of Younger Poets. It was also a finalist for the National

“In thirty-eight haunting poems, McCombs offers that something
to us—a wholeness attained not only through the stories and
traditions of a culture but through the fusion of poet and place,
poet and past. Here are the caves and petroglyphs, the widows and
children and workers, the animals of legend and the animals of

Zooarchaeology and Field Ecology
A Photographic Atlas
Jack M. Broughton and Shawn D. Miller
This photographic atlas, developed over twenty
years of teaching in the field, expedites the work of
the zooarchaeologist by integrating both osteology and
wildlife ecology into a single volume. Zooarchaeology,
the study of animal remains found at archaeological
sites, is interdisciplinary in nature, requiring students
and researchers to not only master the technical skills
of identifying fragmentary bones and teeth but also of
developing a deep understanding of the taxonomy, natural
history, behavior, and ecology of the species identified.
Until now, these topics have always been treated separately.
This book is the only field guide and laboratory manual
to combine animal ecology and natural history with the
