Download or read book The Crooked Letter written by Sean Williams and published by Pyr. This book was released on 2009-12-02 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When mirror twins Seth and Hadrian Castillo travel to Europe on holidays, they don’t expect the end of the world to follow them. Seth’s murder, however, puts exactly that into motion. From opposite sides of death, the Castillo twins grapple with a reality neither of them suspected, although it has been encoded in myths and legends for millennia. The Earth we know is just one of many "realms", three of which are inhabited by humans during various stages of their lives. And their afterlives... In the tradition of Philip Pullman and Ursula K. Le Guin and inspired by numerous arcane sources, the Books of the Cataclysm begin in the present world but soon propel the reader to a landscape that is simultaneously familiar and fantastic.

Download or read book Tripolitania written by David J. Mattingly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lepcis Magna", one of the greatest of the Roman cities of North Africa and one of the most famous archaeological sites in the Mediterranean, was situated in the region of Tripolitania. Birthplace of the Emperor Septimius Severus, the city has yielded many well-preserved monuments from its Roman past. Mattingly presents valuable information on the pre-Roman tribal background, the urban centres, the military frontier and the regional economy. He reinterprets many aspects of the settlement history of this marginal arid zone that was once made prosperous, and considers the wider themes of Romanization, frontier military strategy, and economic links between provinces and sources of elite wealth.

But then she’s told that her haunting dreams are memories of past lives, and if she undergoes a ceremony, she will finally understand the truth about herself. She’ll finally find peace. What she doesn’t realize is that there's more at stake than an escape from endless nights of Netflix binge-watching.

Download or read book Imperialism Power and Identity written by David J. Mattingly and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite what history has taught us about imperialism's destructive effects on colonial societies, many classicists continue to emphasize disproportionately the civilizing and assimilative nature of the Roman Empire and to hold a generally favorable view of Rome's impact on its subject peoples. Imperialism, Power, and Identity boldly challenges this view using insights from postcolonial studies of modern empires to offer a more nuanced understanding of Roman imperialism. Rejecting outdated notions about Romanization, David Mattingly focuses instead on the concept of identity to reveal a Roman society made up of far-flung populations whose experience of empire varied enormously. He examines the nature of power in Rome and the means by which the Roman state exploited the natural, mercantile, and human resources within its frontiers. Mattingly draws on his own archaeological work in Britain, Jordan, and North Africa and covers a broad range of topics, including sexual relations and violence; census-taking and taxation; mining and pollution; land and labor; and art and iconography. He shows how the lives of those under Rome's dominion were challenged, enhanced, or destroyed by the empire's power, and in doing so he redefines the meaning and significance of Rome in today's debates about globalization, power, and empire. Imperialism, Power, and Identity advances a new agenda for classical studies, one that views Roman rule from the perspective of the ruled and not just the rulers. In a new preface, Mattingly reflects on some of the reactions prompted by the initial publication of the book.
Download or read book The Moabites who are the Moors written by Sheik Way-El and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-06-04 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Moors are descendants of the ancient Moabites. For many years, this claim made by Prophet Noble Drew Ali, founded of the Moorish Science movement in America, was laughed at and scoffed at. The thoughts of Moab strictly being confined to a people invented by the biblical codex writers, seemed absurd and rather obscure. However, Noble Drew Ali was not linking the people falsely called "Black" to a biblical people, instead, he was linking them to a historical people whom the bible mentions (in a distorted way) within its texts. From here, the plan of these seeking racism and oppression via their Bibles become clear especially here in America. This book squashes all doubt about the Moors of America (also called African Americans) and their connection to the ancient Moabites.
