Recent research has demonstrated that, in the Roman, Late Antique, Early Islamic and Medieval worlds, glass was traded over long distances, from the Eastern Mediterranean, mainly Egypt and Israel, to Northern Africa, the Western Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Things that Travelled, a collaboration between the UCL Early Glass Technology Research Network, the Association for the History of Glass and the British Museum, aims to build on this knowledge. Covering all aspects of glass production, technology, distribution and trade in Roman, Byzantine and Early Medieval/Early Islamic times, including studies from Britain, Egypt, Cyprus, Italy and many others, the volume combines the strengths of the sciences and cultural studies to offer a new approach to research on ancient glass. By bringing together such a varied mix of contributors, specialising in a range of geographical areas and chronological time frames, this volume also offers a valuable contribution to broader discussions on glass within political, economic, cultural and historical arenas.

For centuries artists, diplomats, and merchants served as cultural intermediaries in the Mediterranean. Stationed in port cities and other entrepôts of the Mediterranean, these go-betweens forged intercultural connections even as they negotiated and sometimes promoted cultural misunderstandings. They also moved objects of all kinds across time and space. This volume considers how the mobility of art and material culture is intertwined with greater Mediterranean networks from 1580 to 1880. Contributors see the movement of people and objects as transformational, emphasizing the trajectory of objects over single points of origin, multiplicity over unity, and mutability over stasis.

This collection of poems is a follow up to Duckhorn's previous book entitled "Say Yes To Time". "Written Rhythms of Space Travel and Earthly Things" joins hands with the times urging us all to appreciate our soul as having a unique life of its own. She encapsulates the idea of space travel, making us light heartedly aware of the dangers in our cosmos. It could become an angry region and not favor us too much in the distant future. "Written Rhythms of Space Travel and Earthly Things" about sums this up and is a pensive read.

Travel and tourism have a long association with the notion of transformation, both in terms of self and social collectives. What is surprising, however, is that this association has, on the whole, remained relatively underexplored and unchallenged, with little in the way of a corpus of academic literature surrounding these themes. Instead, much of the literature to date has focused upon describing and categorising tourism and travel experiences from a supply-side perspective, with travellers themselves defined in terms of their motivations and interests. While the tourism field can lay claim to several significant milestone contributions, there have been few recent attempts at a rigorous re-theorization of the issues arising from the travel/transformation nexus. The opportunity to explore the socio-cultural dimensions of transformation through travel has thus far been missed. Bringing together geographers, sociologists, cultural researchers, philosophers, anthropologists, visual researchers, literary scholars and heritage researchers, this volume explores what it means to transform through travel in a modern, mobile world. In doing so, it draws upon a wide variety of traveller perspectives - including tourists, backpackers, lifestyle travellers, migrants, refugees, nomads, walkers, writers, poets, virtual travellers and cosmetic surgery patients - to unpack a cultural phenomenon that has captured the imagination since the very first works of Western literature.

After we’ve come to faith in Christ, God leaves us in this world for a very clear purpose: his own glory. But how are we to glorify God for the rest of our lives? The Bible reveals that God has laid before every Christian two infinite journeys which we are to travel every day: the internal journey of growth into Christlike maturity, and the external journey of worldwide evangelism and missions. This book is a road map for the internal journey, laying out how we are to grow in four major areas: knowledge, faith, character, and action. In this book, we’ll learn how God grows us in knowledge, faith, character, and action. We’ll also discover that spiritual knowledge constantly feeds our growing faith, faith will transform our character, our transformed character will result in an array of actions more and more glorifying to God, and our actions will feed our spiritual knowledge. This upward spiral will lead us to become more and more like Jesus Christ in holiness. And not only will this book help us understand Christian growth in detail, it will also give us a passion to grow every day for his glory.

Sassy, witty, and expectedly peregrine, these panoramic poems are sharp and personal. They seem to arise from above, even higher than where pigeons choose to dismantle their bowel movements. Well-researched and deftly written, these tightly controlled, prudent, perceptive, and expedient poems are capable of turning your inflamed heart into snow or a Renaissance painting or a Catholic Church. - Vi Khi Nao, judge of the Charlotte Mew Prize The Things We Bring With Us: Travel Poems is simply stunning. The poems span the world and confront the baggage we carry and also the baggage burdened on us by others' narrow definitions of self. Huerta's razor-eyed insights combined with their precise language make for a dazzling debut. - Charlotte Pence, author of Code The poems in this chapbook debut tell stories I want to listen to. S.G. deftly writes of loneliness and feeling in-between, of traveling and searching for something in far-away places. It's a collection about being pulled in different directions, about finding oneself in traveling, but also in the places traveled-from. S.G. contemplates what they are drawn to and drawn from, carefully questioning the symmetry between the places they know well and the cities where they feel like a stranger. These powerful poems are queer and quiet, but ring loud with language, family, love, and eager movement through an unfamiliar world. - Sara Ryan, author of I Thought There Would Be More Wolves
