A unique insider perspective of daily life in New York City's most notorious house of correction

While most people behind bars at Rikers Island are detainees awaiting the settlement of their cases, a smaller population have already been convicted and are serving sentences deemed too short for the state prison system. These stints are called city time. The sentences range from a few days to a year, and are generally served within large, open dormitories lacking in privacy and sanitation. Within these spaces, incarcerated people reproduce an elaborate set of rules, rituals, and relationships, as a means both of survival and of giving meaning to the time taken from them.

Written by David Campbell and Jarrod Shanahan, who both served sentences at Rikers, City Time reflects its authors' personal experiences and observations of short-stay incarceration to present a nuanced and vivid account of a social world kept locked away from the public eye. The authors reconstruct the daily realities of sanitation, nourishment, recreation, work, and other necessary activities, and emphasize the complex interpersonal relationships that emerge in response to city time. Simultaneously, they paint a grim and urgent picture of structural racism, class violence, and the disastrous lack of mental health and substance abuse resources for poor New Yorkers, who are shuttled in and out of city time sentences as frequent flyers.

Beginning with the authors' own processes of intake, and ending with the ritual of late-night release, City Time takes readers behind the splashy headlines to depict, in intimately human terms, the rich and variegated social world unfolding, at this very moment, on Rikers Island.

Much like a No Diving sign found at a pool, David Campbell seeks to warn Christians about the dangers of diving into shallow interpretations of the Bible and points readers to the deep end. In this book, Campbell wades through mistakes believers make when reading the Bible, and gives them tools for how to fix them. No Diving will give Christians the lessons they need to go deeper in their relationship with God.

Like a road map, Landmarks by David Campbell charts our course from the Word of God to our everyday lives. Each marker on this trail of bread crumbs reminds us of an essential truth that has shaped our knowledge of God and his plan. This is not a history book or an opinion piece; it's a compendium of foundational belief that celebrates monumental breakthroughs in christian understanding. Reading through Landmarks will leave you enlightened, grateful and strengthened in your faith.

Why are we scared of the dark? Usually it's because we don't know what's there. Perhaps a friend? Perhaps a foe? The Bible tells us that even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, God is with us. In this topical look at Christian suffering, author David Campbell reminds us that God has purpose in every season - even the painful ones. Both provocative and comprehensive, Night Light will give you a foundation of strength to walk through the most challenging circumstances.

Okay, you love reading but you're looking for a break from long form fiction. Yes? Then this book is for you: a collection of short stories about life in a small town, some humorous, others serious, all revealing of the human condition in sometimes surprising, unexpected but always imaginative, entertaining ways. Twenty-nine stories, some short, others longer, profile a variety of usual and unusual characters caught up in a variety of usual and unusual circumstances, in which readers are invited to reflect upon the ups and downs and and twists and turns of everyday life.

For example? How about a senior woman's writers group who help to abduct an exploitive porn producer? A story-telling Indian who turns cultural appropriation on its head? Three hard bitten ranching sisters who are blamed for the murder of a country singer? A grocery store clerk who will do anything to bear a child?

Sound interesting? Good. Because there are many more stories just like them. Best thing about this book of narrative gems? The stories are mercifully short. Which means you don't have to slog through three-hundred pages to receive the satisfactions of coming to a story's end.

What is truth? is the question Pilate threw back at Jesus. He might just as well have asked What is freedom? The meaning of freedom has become a hotly debated topic across a world faced with historically unparalleled restrictions. But do we really understand what Christian freedom is? How do we distinguish between political ideas of freedom and Biblical ideas? In this book, developed originally from his doctoral thesis but translated into a format everyone can understand, David Campbell addresses what the Bible has to say about freedom. You may be surprised and challenged by his conclusions.

EL COMENTARIO DE APOCALIPSIS MÁS IMPORTANTE DE LAS ÚLTIMAS DÉCADAS

El monumental volumen sobre el Apocalipsis ha sido altamente elogiado desde su publicación. Este comentario destila el excelente análisis gramatical y la exégesis de esa obra en un libro más accesible y pertinente para predicadores, estudiantes y lectores cristianos en general.
Beale ve el Apocalipsis como un todo integrado, como una continuación consciente de los libros proféticos del Antiguo Testamento, y muestra que reconocer el uso casi constante de alusiones al Antiguo Testamento en el Apocalipsis es clave para comprender su significado. Intercalados en todo el volumen se encuentran más de sesenta conjuntos de Sugerencias para la Reflexión para ayudar a los lectores a comprender mejor la relevancia del Apocalipsis para sus vidas y nuestro mundo actual.
Este comentario sobre Apocalipsis es considerado el más importante de las últimas décadas, y el de mayor profundidad disponible en habla hispana.

Este comentario empequeñece a la mayoría de los demás, no tanto en tamaño como en sustancia. La visión idealista ecléctica, redentora e histórica de Beale abre el flujo literario, la lógica espiritual y el mensaje escatológico del Apocalipsis. Por fin un comentario que explica realmente el Apocalipsis en lugar de complicar su complejidad.
Robert W. Yarbrough

Nadie puede permitirse predicar, enseñar o escribir sobre el Apocalipsis sin leer a Beale.
Thomas R. Schreiner

Sobre el autor:
G. K. Beale es catedrático de Nuevo Testamento J. Gresham Machen y profesor de Nuevo Testamento y Teología Bíblica en el Seminario Teológico Westminster. Beale es una autoridad líder en el uso que hace el Nuevo Testamento del Antiguo, y su trabajo académico sobre el uso de la Biblia hebrea en el Apocalipsis brilla aquí. Este comentario es quizá la herramienta más importante para el estudio de la escatología bíblica disponible en español.

The 19th Battalion was an infantry unit that fought in many of the deadliest battles of the First World War. Hailing from Hamilton, Toronto, and other communities in southern Ontario and beyond, its members were ordinary men facing extraordinary challenges at the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele, Amiens, and other battlefields on Europe's Western Front. Through his examination of official records and personal accounts, the author presents vivid descriptions and assessments of the rigours of training, the strains of trench warfare, the horrors of battle, and the camaraderie of life behind the front lines. From mobilization in 1914 to the return home in 1919, Campbell reveals the unique experiences of the battalion's officers and men and situates their service within the broader context of the battalion's parent formations?the 4th Infantry Brigade and the 2nd Division of the Canadian Corps. Readers will gain a fuller appreciation of the internal dynamics of an infantry battalion and how it functioned within the larger picture of Canadian operations.

David Campbell's personal and professional life changed course in the wake of the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 26, 2004. A chance remark to a friend about the tragedy led his companion to reveal that he had dined, just a week prior to the tsunami, on a hotel patio where everyone had been killed. In that moment, Campbell remembers, a faraway event was brought much closer. That meeting launched Campbell into action. After researching travel and lodging, he packed everything he thought he would need in a major disaster zone and boarded a plane to Thailand. But his most important asset was his vast network of friends in the technology industry and his decades of experience in businesses management. His colleagues and friends wanted to help and he wanted to help them do it. Campbell didn't realize it at the time but he had stumbled on the key elements of what would become All Hands Volunteers, an entirely new kind of disaster relief organization: his own credibility, creative use of the Internet to make connections, and most importantly, the immeasurable power of being there. ALL HANDS: THE EVOLUTION OF A VOLUNTEER-POWERED DISASTER RESPONSE ORGANIZATION shares the story of how, over the past ten years, Campbell and thousands of dedicated volunteers have personally and profoundly impacted the lives of people reeling in the wake of natural disaster.

The Winter War was supposed to be a quick and easy conflict; instead it proved to be a bitter war that destroyed the international reputation of the Soviet Red Army. The diminutive Finnish force was desperately outnumbered by almost half a million Russian troops, but rather than sweeping across their neighbors, the Soviet troops stumbled blindly, constantly wrong-footed and then bloodied by their seemingly insignificant foe. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this study looks at three key battles, drawing a stark contrast between the poorly prepared Russian troops and the Finns, who made excellent use of terrain and innovative guerrilla tactics as they defended their homeland.

Detailed maps and specially commissioned artwork highlight key moments in the Winter War, a David-and-Goliath conflict that saw the Soviet Union suffer horrendous losses as they tried to recover from each disastrous defeat.

A newly revised edition of this bold and important work.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has faced the challenge of reorienting its foreign policy to address post-Cold War conditions. In this new edition of a groundbreaking work-one of the first to bring critical theory into dialogue with more traditional approaches to international relations-David Campbell provides a fundamental reappraisal of American foreign policy, with a new epilogue to address current world affairs and the burgeoning focus on culture and identity in the study of international relations.

Extending recent debates in international relations, Campbell shows how perceptions of danger and difference work to establish the identity of the United States. He demonstrates how foreign policy, far from being an expression of a given society, constitutes state identity through the interpretation of danger posed by others.

This is an intriguing book. . . . It not only goes behind foreign policy as such, to look at its domestic roots, but also digs deeply into the very nature of those roots themselves. . . . By moving us beyond, or behind, the usual starting point of foreign policy, this study performs the signal service of inviting us to reflect more deeply on how what we think we are affects how we act in the world.

The peace that followed the First Punic War was shallow and fractious, with the resumption of hostilities in 218 BC sparked by Carthaginian expansion in Iberia seeing Rome suffer some of the worst defeats in her entire history.

The Carthaginian army was a composite affair primarily made up of a number of levies from Africa and around the Mediterranean augmented by mercenaries and allies, and these troops crushed the Roman heavy infantry maniples in a series of battles across Southern Europe. Improvements made to their military, however, would see Roman revenge visited on Hannibal in full measure by Scipio, who would beat him at his own game and bring Roman legions to the gates of Carthage itself.

In this study, the epic battles at Lake Trasimene (217 BC), Cannae (216 BC), and Ilipa (206 BC) are explored in detail, supported by carefully chosen illustrations and specially commissioned full-color artwork and mapping.
