Book Description
This is an Open Access book. Hoping to incubate a unique idea about workplace design, Dr. Agustin Chevez walked in isolation for 42 days from Melbourne to Sydney. His pilgrimage delivered 34 Signposts, a collection of insights which hold the promise to guide us to a better place to work. While firmly positioned within the shifting context of work, the Signposts point away from reactive solutions with a short shelf life. Instead, these markers are infused with a diversity of thought instilled by Agustin's pilgrimage and reclaim the forgotten qualities of solitude, boredom, adversity, and absurdity as mechanisms to deliver innovation and create improved working environments. On his way to Sydney Agustin relied on maps and people with local knowledge of the lands he traversed. Similarly, in this book, he consults people with local knowledge in various design disciplines, management, and technology as he navigates the many regions of the workplace and work practices covered by the Signposts. When he reaches the end of the known trails, he starts laying paths that take us closer to where the Signposts converge. Agustin writes from the perspective of a pilgrim, architect, workplace consultant, and researcher and invites you to join him as a fellow pilgrim. You will be rewarded with a journey that revisits our assumptions about the way we use space to host the ever-evolving notion of work - an expedition leading not only to better versions of the workplace, but a better version of ourselves. "This book takes about three hours to read, and it could take a lifetime to fully extract all the benefits that it contains. This does not suggest that there are not immediate benefits available from reflecting on and applying the Signposts that are core to the book's intellectual contribution." - Peer Review extract.

Book Description
The new edition of the definitive guide to the countries visited by St Paul and his companions. Detailing all the places visited by St Paul on his three Missionary journeys as well as his final journey towards Rome and death. With new chapters on St John and Patmos, and other Greek islands, there are new maps and plans, photographs and revised descriptions. Paul's Letters to the Seven Churches of the Revelation are explained along with descriptions of the sites. Southern and central Turkey are described along with a chapter on Istanbul. Paul's Macedonian call includes descriptions of Philippi, Kavala, Lydia and Thessalonika, before moving on to Veria, Meteora and Delphi. There is a good description of Athens, and then Corinth and the Peloponnese. Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini and Crete are described in addition to Patmos. The Malta section gives a good insight into this fascinating island with its layers of history, proud of its association with Paul. Cyprus today is still divided by the conflicts of the 1970s except that now it is quite easy to explore the north and south together, and so visit all of the associations with Paul, Barnabas and Mark. Salamis and Paphos provide ample reminders of the ancient world, while a string of UNESCO listed churches and monasteries stretch out into the mountains. The beautiful harbour of Kyrenia and the crusader castles are further highlights. These lands are rich in reminders of early Christian communities and the evangelical missions to establish them.
