John H Walker

Archaeologists have long associated the development of agriculture with the rise of the state. But the archaeology of the Amazon Basin, revealing traces of agriculture but lacking evidence of statehood, confounds their assumptions. John H. Walker’s innovative study of the Bolivian Amazon addresses this contradiction by examining the agricultural landscape and analyzing the earthworks from an archaeological perspective. The archaeological data is presented in ascending scale throughout the book. Scholars across archaeology and environmental anthropology will find the methodology and theoretical arguments essential for further study.

Walker addresses a critical problem concerning the deacons and the local church, state, and national conventions: deacons are assuming leadership roles without being equipped for the task. (Church Administration/Pastoral Resources)

The primary objective of this course is to come to a clearer understanding of the role, responsibility, and work of deacons. A secondary objective is to gain knowledge, information, and understanding to equip deacons to perform their task effectively and efficiently. (Christian Religion)
