Download or read book Travel Communication and Geography in Late Antiquity written by Linda Ellis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel, Communication and Geography in Late Antiquity brings together a set of papers that consider anew issues of travel, communication and landscape in Late Antiquity. This period witnessed an increase in long-distance travel and the construction of large new inter-provincial communications networks. The Christian Church's expansion is but one example of both phenomena. The contributions here present readers with new research on the explosion in travel and large-scale communication, and the effect on this of different geographical possibilities and limitations. The papers deal with a variety of travel experiences (religious pilgrimages; travel for work and educational purposes; journeys of the soul) and writings about travel; they look at various kinds of communication (ecclesiastical communication; communication for commerce; and the communication of religious identity); and they examine both physical and psychological aspects of geography, travel and communication.

Download or read book Epilogue for Murder written by Larry Shriner and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-10-08 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Famous mystery novelist Walker Redgrave is dead, an apparent suicide in a dingy motel room in a roughneck fishing village on the Panhandle coast of Florida. Atlanta private detective—and former college professor—Bennett Cole is reading the jolting headlines when Redgrave’s widow walks into his office. Redgrave could not have taken his own life, she says. He had plans, too much to live for. So Cole takes his first big case after more than nine years of peeping through windows and following errant spouses during late-night trysts. From the news accounts, it appears clear-cut that the novelist took his own life. The room was locked, the gun still in his cold hand. But this is no open-and-shut case, and, as Cole comes to realize, there is a lot more to Redgrave’s “suicide” than is contained in the police reports. Cole’s search for the truth leads him deep into the Florida backwoods, to places rarely touched by the law, and where men will kill to hid any number of secrets.
