Founding the year : Ovid's Fasti and the poetics of the Roman calendar /
:
This book considers the relationship between the Fasti , Ovid's long poem on the Roman calendar, and the calendar itself, conceived of as consisting both in the rites and commemorations it organizes and in its graphic representation. The Fasti treats the calendar, recently revised by Caesar and Augustus, as its most important cultural model and as a quasi-literary 'intertext': the poem simultaneously reshapes and is itself shaped by the calendar. The study includes chapters on Book 4 and the rites of April, on the addition of Julio-Claudian holidays to the calendar, and on the final two books of the poem as shaped by the renaming of the months Quintilis and Sextilis for Julius Caesar and Augustus.

Lost and now found : explorers, diplomats and artists in Egypt and the near East /

Long distance travel and mass tourism are not recent phenomena. This collection of papers from the 2015 ASTENE Conference in Exeter demonstrates that over the centuries many individuals and groups of people have left the safety of their family home and travelled huge distances both for adventure and to learn more about other peoples and places. Some travels were to help establish trade routes, while others were for personal pleasure and knowledge. Many of those who travelled have left little or no record but in a few cases their travels can be determined from the brief encounters they had with other travellers who noted these chance meetings in their journals and diaries, which they later used to inform and write for publication accounts of their own travels and impressions.

The Road to Found Poetry : Understanding People's Perceptions and Lived Experiences Creatively /
:
The Road to Found Poetry: Understanding People's Perceptions and Lived Experiences Creatively is a book based on the author's Educational Doctorate thesis. The book introduces the use of found poetry as an alternative means of knowing and understanding in various educational and non-educational contexts. Its ambition is to encourage educational researchers, educators, academics, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and practitioners interested in experimenting with a novel approach of analysis, presentation and dissemination that helps in gaining a deeper insight of research participants' experiences. The Road to Found Poetry moves beyond the traditionally accepted methods of doing research and offers a better understanding of people's perceptions and lived experiences. This new arts-based research methodology is participatory in nature and gives voice to researchers and research participants. It creates possibilities for researcher's reflexivity and participant's agency.

God's kingdom and God's son : the background in Mark's christology from concepts of kingship in the Psalms /
:
How is the kingdom of God related to Messianic kingship (or divine sonship)? Starting from what he terms a 'two-tier' kingship in the Psalms, Robert Rowe explores the linkage of these terms in Mark's gospel. The linked concepts - God's kingship and Davidic (Messianic) kingship - are traced from the Psalms and Isaiah 40-66, through the Dead Sea Scrolls and other inter-testamental documents, into Mark's gospel. Mark's characterization of Jesus as Messiah is shown to centre around four royal Psalms (2; 22; 110; 118). Contributing to the continuing study of the Old Testament in the New, Rowe argues that the concepts of God's kingdom and the Messiah are inherently closely related. This has importance both for the study of the historical Jesus, and for Mark's presentation of God and Jesus in his gospel.
