Christian Monuments of Cyrenaica publishes archaeological studies
undertaken between 1953 and 1971 by the late J. B. Ward-Perkins (d.
1981) and the late R. G. Goodchild (d. 1968). It presents
Ward-Perkins accounts (mostly left in advanced draft form) of 44
monuments, 35 of them certainly churches, together with plans of
each made by professional architects after survey on the ground,
drawings of some details and a considerable number of photographs,
together with a draft overview of the buildings techniques used.
Colleagues have provided introductory notes on other major features
of the buildings and drawn attention to some of the problems that
they raise. They have also added a brief account of other Christian
buildings reported since Ward-Perkins' last visit to Cyrenaica,
both in Cyrenaica itself, the late antique province of Libya
Superior, and in that area of the Western Desert which formed the
closely-related province of Libya Inferior. The detailed evidence
collected here represents a basis for the study of late antique and
early Byzantine Cyrenaica of a quality and extent that has never
been available before; and is all the more important because time
and chance have now damaged some of that evidence. It also gives a
quite up-to-date, although very summary account of new evidence
awaiting serious study; which, we may hope, will lead to further
advances in our understanding of the late antique and early
Byzantine periods.

"Sarah said she had Ness Ryan working on a project-" "Just the
Netwalk stuff," Marty said. "Then Netwalk may be an attempt to
control Gizmo," Diana said. "Which means we need to control it. We
need to control Sarah as Netwalker and keep Peter away from it."
For seven years, Melanie Landreth has maintained a lonely outpost
in the Pacific Northwest while fighting a shadow war against the
oppressive government controlled by her grandmother Sarah Stephens.
Then her grandmother's death launches a cascade of events,
including the discovery of a new virtual technology, NETWALK, which
allows personalities to fully upload to digital life when their
bodies die. As her mother Diana steps forward to wrest political
power during the government collapse, Melanie must help her gain
control of NETWALK--and discovers the existence of the mysterious
device that NETWALK was created to control. With the help of Marty
Fielding, Melanie strives to wrench control of NETWALK from
opponents within her own family--and finds that she's not as alone
as she once feared. But what alliances can she trust in a swiftly
changing world? What is Gizmo? How can she best protect her family,
her business, and her loved ones in the face of an uncertain
future?
