The Levant: Crossroads of Late Antiquity. History, Religion, and Archaeology / Le Levant: Carrefour de l'Antiquité tardive explores the monumental, religious, and social developments that took place in the Roman province of Syria during the 3rd through 6th centuries CE. Ellen Bradshaw Aitken and John M. Fossey bring together the work of twenty scholars of archaeology, art history, religious studies, and ancient history to examine this dynamic period of change in social, cultural, and religious life. Close attention to texts and material culture, including palaeo-Christian mosaics and churches, highlights the encounters of peoples and religions, as well as the rich exchange of ideas, practices, and traditions in the Levant. The essays bring fresh perspectives on “East” and “West” in antiquity and the diversity of ancient religious movements.

All the while, attraction sparks between them that just might lead to a love to last for all time... Meg lives alone in a neighborhood with a very special secret. Since the death of her parents, she’s been sort of adopted by the old ladies in the area and brought into their circle. A very magical circle. Rich and his brothers have been sent to Meg’s neighborhood to check out rumors of an enemy strike. They are recently retired from the military, but still working as freelancers on very particular missions because of their unique abilities. When the brothers move in across the street from Meg, Rich can’t help but notice her. She’s breaking his heart with her sad eyes and lonely existence. He wants to keep her company – in every sense of the phrase – but his mission should come first. Rich is torn between the woman who could be the love of his life and the mission which might end the threat of the Destroyer once and for all. They will face danger together, making magical discoveries along the way, but will it be enough to defeat the evil chasing them and bring them both through to a future spent together?

"Ethiopia at the Crossroads celebrates the artistic traditions of Ethiopia from their origins to the present day, spanning over 1,700 years of history. Seated in the Horn of Africa between Europe and the Middle East, the country is an intersection of diverse climates, religions, and cultures. This landmark catalogue examines Ethiopian art as representative of the nation's notable history and demonstrates the enormous cultural significance of this often-overlooked African nation through the themes of cross-cultural exchange and the human role in the creation and movement of art objects. It features more than 250 images of objects including painted icons, illuminated manuscripts, coins, textiles, metalwork, and carved wooden crosses in addition to works by contemporary Ethiopian artists. Because the artistic production of Ethiopia is still relatively unknown to Western audiences, Ethiopia at the Crossroads provides an accessible overview of the history and culture of the region. The book includes a series of scholarly essays that expand upon the themes and historical moments of encounter between Ethiopia and surrounding cultures, as well as an illustrated checklist of objects in the exhibition and technical findings of the Walters conservation team"--
