  • - The History of Slaves across the Greek City-States
     
    157

    *Includes pictures *Includes ancient accounts of slavery and debating its role in Greek society *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading "A free man? There is no such thing! All men are slaves; some, slaves of money; some, of chance; others are forced, either by mass opinion, or the threatening law, to act against their nature." - Euripides, Hecuba Slavery was a universal and totally accepted feature of ancient Greek society, so much so that while the conditions under which slaves lived and worked varied considerably, many ordinary citizens kept at least one slave, often working alongside their owners, while larger commercial enterprises involved huge numbers, many of whom could rise to positions of authority and wealth. It was possible for some slaves to buy their freedom, while others lived and died in conditions of appalling brutality, notably in the silver mines at Laurium. The revenues from these mines paid for the fleet with which Athens defeated Xerxes and were the basis of the Attic owls, the four drachma coins that revolutionized the Athenian economy. The mines were often leased to contractors and worked by slaves and condemned criminals. The galleries averaged approximately three and a half feet in height, so most miners had to work on their hands and knees. Another specific group of slaves that suffered particularly brutal treatment was the pornai, slaves used in the brothels as prostitutes. While those sound like the conditions of slavery people are accustomed to hearing about in more modern times, other forms of slavery in Greece were quite unique, and perhaps fittingly, Sparta might have had the most unusual system of all. Sparta will forever be known for its military prowess, but the importance the Spartans placed upon being a warrior society meant their way of life was entirely dependent on a class of indentured servants known as the helots. The Spartans needed the helots to maintain the domestic front, but they also frequently brought helots to the battlefield with them, and they repeatedly had to turn their own hoplites on unruly helots to suppress potential rebellions. As this makes clear, however unpalatable it may be to modern historians who expound on the virtues of the Greek legacy to Western Civilization, it is indisputably the case that slavery constituted a central part of that legacy. Indeed, slavery underpinned to a large extent the very foundations of the classical Greek way of life. Slavery in Ancient Greece: The History of Slaves across the Greek City-States examines the different ways people were enslaved in Greece, and what the Ancient Greeks wrote about slavery. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about slavery in Greece like never before.

  • - The Inside Story
    av Cal Millar

    In 1976, Detective Greg MacAleese came up with a concept to combat crime. He called the program Crime Stoppers and today it is cited along with fingerprinting and DNA as the top three innovations in modern day policing. The Albuquerque Police Department, which embraced the idea and brought it to fruition, continues to hail Crime Stoppers as the most successful anti-crime program in the history of law enforcement. For MacAleese, who was born in Canada but spent his high school and college years in the United States, Crime Stoppers was like a roller coaster ride, and the book reveals a story, that until now hasn't been told. Assigned as an investigator to the Violent Crimes Unit only three years after becoming a police officer, MacAleese was in a hospital emergency room watching the life ebb from a 20-year-old victim who was callously shot during a robbery at a gas station. A short time later he promised the mother of Michael Carmen that he would solve the slaying and it was that vow which became the catalyst to launch Crime Stoppers. From an idea to curb lawlessness in what at the time was one of the most crime-ridden and dangerous cities in the United States, Crime Stoppers has grown to a worldwide network of more than 1,600 programs. Accumulatively since 1976, Crime Stoppers has solved 1.5 million crimes, seized $10 billion in illicit drugs and recovered more than $2 billion in stolen property. Most people believe Crime Stoppers is run by law enforcement, but this book explains how programs in various cities are charitable organizations with volunteer boards and operate in partnership with the police, the media and the community.

  • - New Wineskins
    av Michael W Reilly
    291

    The Great Commission mandate to "go and make disciples" includes a process of laying a biblical foundation within our hearts, minds, and lives. The collective body of Christians forms a living organism which is inspired by the indwelling Holy Spirit and the Word of God. When spiritual growth does not occur, when faith is not put into practice in daily life, when the renewal process is hindered, you hurt not only yourself, but you (potentially) compromise the health of your local church. The followers of Jesus the Messiah (Yeshua HaMashiach) do so, not only by their words, but by a life that is completely surrendered to Yeshua. The Master's Apprentice series offers to take us through the mobilization process. You have in your hands the first step in preparation to become a Great Commission Christian. Before we are able to adapt Jesus' model of discipleship into our lives, some of us may need New Wineskins. Our current wineskins have been used and are inflexible. We need the flexibility that comes with New Wineskins. Step one involves a preparation process. You see, true holiness begins the moment we seek God for a relationship with Him; not affiliation with a local assembly or denomination. By nature, we unconsciously are drawn to the familiar. Jesus desires us to follow Him; wherever He leads.

Too bad my father hired Seth Rovero without consulting me, and all because of a few bruises on my arms.Running an underground fight club and keeping it secret from my father is already hard enough, and I know I can't trust Seth's piercing blue eyes that want to strip me bare-especially not after he tracks me down at my club and complies with our most important rule: no entry without a fight.Although I suspect Seth is here to spy on me rather than to protect me, I may not have a choice but to trust him when a gang leader makes a move to take over my club. The question is, will Seth help me? Or is he here for reasons of his own?This is the first installment in the three-book Your Love Is Dangerous series.

    A 1950s hospital. Temporary amnesia. A naked man running through Central Park yelling something about alien space tentacles. Tinfoil, duct tape, and bananas. These are the ingredients for a spectacular romp through a world you never thought possible as aliens reach out and make contact with Earth. FIRST CONTACT is similar to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE in that the series is based on a common theme rather than common characters. This allows these books to be read in any order. Technically, they're all first as they all deal with how we might initially respond to contact with aliens, exploring the social, political, religious, and scientific aspects of First Contact.

    Millions of Americans are closely following the national election process as President Harold Miller faces two challengers from within his own party for the nomination at the upcoming Republican Convention. Short by 211 delegates, Miller must deal with either Jerrod Wyman, his own former vice president, or Leonard Graham, former speaker of the US House of Representatives. Not in many years has the nation witnessed a brokered convention. All the party in fighting will certainly tear the GOP apart. Wyman has plenty of money and Graham a pocketful of dirty tricks. Senator Tom Evans has already locked up the votes needed for his own nomination during the upcoming Democratic convention in Baltimore. There is little doubt in his mind that South Carolina Senator Randy Fisher is the right man to be his running mate. Regardless of the outcome of the Republican convention, the DNC is confident their candidates can remove President Miller or win against the other challengers.The Democratic campaign appears to be working perfectly as they leave their convention and make the final run for the White House. The polls are showing a growing tide of support for the two senators. They appear unstoppable to the Republicans until an event, never thought possible, derails the perfectly planned Democratic campaign.Levels of Power: The Vice President tells the back room story of politics at the highest level. Politics at it's best. Politics at it's worst.

  • - Second Edition
    av Anthony James Canelo

    We live in a fast-paced world where information is thrown at us from every direction possible at high speed all day long, day after week after month after year. It has become normal. We process, pick, and choose what information we need or want at this same rate of speed because we think, "This is what I need to do to be successful and achieve the things I want in life." Imagine for a moment, however, that this wasn't the case. Imagine that your life would improve if you slowed it down-if you took the time to focus on the elements in our worlds that seem to take a backseat to our careers, our wants, our hyper-speed information stream, and our social lives. How would you do it? The answer is in your hands right now. Back to the basics once again, herbalist and inventor Anthony James Canelo delivers his unique combination of professional research, hands-on healing experience, and ingenuity in his latest self-help offering. A simple guide that puts you on the path to re-learning how to listen to the soft, quiet voice deep inside you, it offers a revolutionary new perspective on ideas that perhaps needed just a minor shift in viewpoint. Breathing, sleeping, water, attitude, eating, exercise, and nature are the seven fundamentals of longevity, the cornerstones and building blocks for the Nature Pyramid Philosophy. By giving them your attention, you slow down your world, you open yourself up to your emotional, physical, and spiritual self, and create the opportunity to grow and heal-from the inside out. Meditative, contemplative, and wholly original, the latest from herbalist and health coach Anthony Canelo is a calm yet urgent call to bring your mind, body, and spirit back to their original place, the "factory setting" we are born with before human constructs change the channel. As soothing as it is electrifying, The Seven Fundamentals of Longevity & The Nature Pyramid Philosophy set the course for you to live a truly healthy, happy, long life. Excerpts from The Seven Fundamentals of Longevity "Life is worth preserving. Throughout the centuries, the greatest pursuit of humankind has been longevity. Our greatest fear has always been death. Why do sea turtles live at least one hundred years? Why do some trees live for thousands of years? To find the answers, our scientists explore the unseen. In the field and under the microscope, drug therapy, genetic medicine, caloric restriction, the cross linking theory, the free radical theory, the immune theory of aging, auto oxidation rates, the oxidative and dysoxygenative model, enzyme supplementation, and hormone therapy have shown promise. However, the final word in longevity will not be what we purchase or inject into life. Rather, it will be what we do in life. After all, genes must live in a fully hydrated environment to thrive. Improved circulation requires exercise. Oxygenation requires respiration. We need nutrition for sound tissue repair. We need a balanced mind to preserve the body and make wise, healthy choices. Physical repair itself requires sleep. Every night the cells in your body are being repaired to face yet another uncertain tomorrow." "Albert Einstein once said, "Everything should be made as simple as possible. But not simpler." I encourage you to learn all you can about health and longevity. At the end of the day, if you arrive at one simple conclusion, it will truly benefit your life." "The Seven Fundamentals of Longevity will lead you on a path toward high levels of resilience and energy, greater clarity and peace of mind, vitality in youth, and comfort in your later years. At the time of writing this book many of my clients were feeling the first signs of aging. This book was written for them. Likewise, my intention in this second edition is that it will also work for you."

    "I trusted once. I won't make that mistake again..."An ugly childhood and devastating betrayal have left 25-year-old Cain Jensen scarred inside and out. Protecting himself means keeping everyone at arm's length and protecting others means never getting emotionally involved. In the three years since he's joined an underground vigilante group, every life he saves helps ease the guilt of the ones that were lost to him so long ago. So when he's sent to a remote cabin in the Cascade Mountains just north of Seattle to follow up on the disappearance of his boss's co-worker, his only thought is to see that justice is served, no matter what the circumstances.But nothing he's ever experienced has prepared the cold-hearted and very straight Cain for who he finds on that mountain...or the intense need to suddenly offer more than just protection."I've finally managed to break free, but I've never felt more trapped in my entire life..."Ethan Rhodes has been running for six months, but it's never fast enough, it's never far enough. At 30 years old, the talented ER Doctor should be spending his days saving other people's lives, not worrying about his own. But he knows that the four years of physical and emotional abuse he's suffered at the hands of his volatile ex are nothing compared to what will happen when Ethan runs out of places to hide, especially after taking something from the man he once was sure would be the love of his life.A violent episode that has Ethan narrowly escaping death leads to a quiet cabin in the mountains where his battered body will have time to heal before he and the young girl relying on him need to run again. But everything changes with the arrival of a mysterious stranger who threatens to give Ethan something he'd finally accepted was gone forever...hope."I didn't see this coming. I don't think he did either..."To get to the truth, Cain must first get through Ethan's defenses, but watching the other man's walls start to come down forces Cain to face his own past. And as the tremulous connection between the two men grows and gives way to something more, both will need to decide if they're willing to risk giving each other the one thing that has cost them so much in the past...trust.Will two men who've vowed never to let someone close again let down their guard long enough to find each other, or will they let their pasts determine their future?

  • - Making Space for the Sacred
     
    477

    This book is an important addition to the studies of Agnes Martin, as the author met with her and discussed her work in Taos. The Agnes Martin Gallery at the University of New Mexico's Harwood Museum in Taos, New Mexico, is a sacred space. It resonates with connections to Giotto's Arena Chapel in Padua, Matisse's Chapel of the Rosary at Vence, the Rothko Chapel in Houston, and Barnett Newman's Stations of the Cross paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. In order to sustain such a bold claim, Joanna Weber looks at the Agnes Martin Gallery within the trajectory of the history of Western thought, specifically the Judeo-Christian tradition about how the presence of the sacred is apprehended through objects and in them. Weber considers both the continuities and the discontinuities, in the shift from churches to museums as containers for objects made available for contemplation, in order to assess the significance of the Gallery.The author also looks at Agnes Martin's work (paintings, writings, filmmaking, and the houses and studios she built) in order to explore the sublime that is integral to her oeuvre. She physically built her spaces for living and painting. Weber also consider the impact that this building process has on her paintings. Drawing on other works of art, philosophy, and theology to deepen our knowledge about how objects participate in making space for the sacred, the author also relies on Agnes Martin's own writings as a guide. In addition to considering the Gallery as an architectural space, she examines the ways in which Martin's paintings as objects create sacred space and make her Gallery in Taos a contemporary pilgrimage site.
