I've recently worked on a study that relied heavily on old newspapers, which perfectly ties into my new blog series (which will be published soon!) Working with such old documents is so interesting because you have to work harder to research and find contextual information and because terminology has shifted since the original publication date. Plus printed media was much scarcer when these old newspapers were being published. I'm proud of my research skills and perseverance after working with these documents because sometimes it takes a really long time to find that term or figure out that abbreviation. Take this newspaper, Umm Al-Qura. In the footnotes, the study's author used the abbreviations ع87، س2: I figured ع referred to عدد (as in Issue No.), but I couldn't figure out what س was for the longest time. It wasn't until I tracked down an issue in an archive, where I could clearly see the frontpage, and see that س was سنة. Do you have experience working with material like this? What are your tricks? You'll be seeing more historical research musings soon with my new blog series! #translation #history #HistoricalTranslation #archives #research

Happy to announce that my memoir is finally out...it's the story of my interaction with the marvelous Mayan culture...it could qualify first as a piece of "informed" travel writing. (Informed, because I like to travel with a lot of study ahead of time.) But this book has a concealed surprise: here are the details on the Mayan calendar scales that I made and used over more than 20 years. Can the Mayan calendar be translated into SOUND? Sure thing...here's the story of how interlocking time periods can--in fact--make music! Here's a link to the print platform, and then a link to download a .pdf file. Lots of pictures from archaeology sites, and music examples, too! To purchase a print copy: https://lnkd.in/eh9aVs_5 To purchase a .pdf download: https://lnkd.in/eMYyrG78

The variable subject matter I write & publish falls under the general category of the 3 E’s: Educational, Engaging & Earthy. Ergo, National Parks and Monuments, Archeological (Anasazi) ruins whose scenic icons are scattered throughout the American Southwest. This assembly includes parts of the West and Northwest, including Alaska. There are other topics as well (viz. emperor penguins correlated with the theme of climate change, aviation adventures & misadventures, human history applicable to the Old West, res dogs on the Navajo Reservation, personal escapades based on true circumstances, vivid prose & poetry centered on Nature, and even existential themes. Writing under the nom de plume, RK ALLEMAN, my online BOOKSTORE’s website showcases all the above: https://lnkd.in/eUu8abK I invite prospective readers to peruse these published bookstore selections that feed the mind, heart, and soul with engaging and entertaining subject matter, sine qua non. Gracias literary Buddhas! RK, Flagstaff, AZ <<<>>>
