Bøger af Joey Williams

Devotionals are a dime a dozen, but not this kind. So what sets this book apart? First of all, its written for the regular guy. You know...real men. If you're looking for a book with pretty poems or flowery stories, go ahead place this one back on the shelf. This book was written for warriors and adventurist. It is also not designed for super-spirituals or the really religious. This book is for the man who's ready to get real with God and himself. King David's life is the perfect backdrop for a men's study because his life included battles, women, failures, family drama and extreme courage. If you're not sure what I mean just imagine the television show 24 taking place in the ancient Middle East. Are you ready for the challenge?

During the first century B.C.E. a complex system of surveillance towers was established during Rome's colonization of the central Alentejo region of Portugal. These towers provided visual control over the landscape, routes through it, and hidden or isolated places as part of the Roman colonization of the region. As part of an archaeological analysis of the changing landscape of Alentejo, Joey Williams offers here a theory of surveillance in Roman colonial encounters drawn from a catalog of watchtowers in the Alentejo, the artifacts and architecture from the tower known as Caladinho, and the geographic information systems analysis of each tower's vision. Through the consideration of these and other pieces of evidence, Williams places surveillance at the center of the colonial negotiation over territory, resources, and power in the westernmost province of the Roman Empire.
