Have you ever wondered why the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible contains magnificent sacred texts that were completely lost or unknown to the rest of the world?The Ethiopic Meqabyan I-III provides a compelling modern translation of three of the most unique and fascinating apocryphal texts in biblical history. While the Western world is familiar with the historical books of the Maccabees that detail the Jewish revolt against the Seleucid Empire, the Ethiopian canon preserves an entirely different tradition. These three books are completely distinct from their Greek counterparts, offering a unique narrative centered on different martyrs, profound philosophical discourses, and a deeply mystical understanding of faith, resurrection, and the eternal nature of the soul.These ancient texts transport readers to a time of severe persecution, where a devout man named Meqabis and his sons face a tyrannical king who demands they bow down to foreign idols. Rather than surrender their faith, they engage in

Australians have been making pilgrimages to the battlefields and cemeteries of World War Two since the 1940s, from the jungles of New Guinea and South-East Asia to the mountains of Greece and the deserts of North Africa. They travel in search of the stories of lost loved ones, to mourn the dead and to come to grips with the past. With characteristic empathy, Bruce Scates charts the history of pilgrimages to Crete, Kokoda, Sandakan and Hellfire Pass. He explores the emotional resonance that these sites have for those who served and those who remember. Based on surveys, interviews, extensive fieldwork and archival research, Anzac Journeys offers insights into the culture of loss and commemoration and the hunger for meaning so pivotal to the experience of pilgrimage. Richly illustrated with full-colour maps and photographs from the 1940s to today, Anzac Journeys makes an important and moving contribution to Australian military history.

Oliver Heaviside (1850 -1925) may not be a household name but he was one of the great pioneers of electrical science: his work led to huge advances in communications and became the bedrock of the subject of electrical engineering as it is taught and practiced today. His ideas and original accomplishments are now so much a part of everyday electrical science that they are simply taken for granted; almost nobody wonders how they came about and Heaviside's name has been lost from view.This book tells the complete story of this extraordinary though often unappreciated scientist. The author interweaves details of Heaviside's life and personality with clear explanations of his many important contributions to the field of electrical engineering. He describes a man with an irreverent sense of fun who cared nothing for social or mathematical conventions and lived a fiercely independent life. His achievements include creating the mathematical tools that were to prove essential to the proper unde
