The collections of ethnographic museums contain numerous fragments that bear witness to practices of sharing and connecting. They include fragments from history, remnants of destruction, and once powerful objects made up of single parts. This publication shows how these things were handled in the past, and still are today. It sheds light on what it means to divide, repair, reassemble, even to let something fall apart. In each instance, it is always a matter of (re)storing or creating a new order. Instead of seeing fragments exclusively as signs of loss or as witnesses to the inexorable passage of time, the authors focus on the power of connecting, the art of separating, and the force of destruction in the pieces presented.The MUSEUM DER KULTUREN BASEL (MKB) is the largest anthropological museum in Switzerland and one of the most eminent of its kind in Europe. The MKB collections are renowned throughout the world and include over 340,000 objects, around 50,000 historical photographs, and roughly 200,000 documentary images.

Reviewed by kittygrimm88Fracments is an erotic horror by Audrey Rush. The story follows Rhodes, a man who has unique and depraved wants. He seems to be harmless man who is just quietly living as your neighbour with his mother, but is anything but that. He in his egotistical mind he is almost psychopath, who fights his inner thoughts, of what is right and wrong. The story is like a car crash, you want to look away, but no matter you want to do that, you just can't, because you need to know what happens next. Only reason why I am giving this book ''only'' four out of five stars is that there were multiple scenes that I think and wish that would have been explored more. Also the ending for me was anticlimactic. The book isn't suitable for everyone and you should absolutely check out all the trigger warnings, but if you can handle those, it is good and interesting read. I would recommend this book for everyone who like to watch true crime shows and tv-series like CSI and Twin Peaks, but would want them to have more spice in them. I received an advance review copy for free through Booksirens and Audrey Rush, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
