The Annals of Imperial Rome

Cornelius Tacitus

Digireads.com, 2005

Definitive Primary Source On the History Of Imperial Roman
I read this book for a graduate course in Roman history. It is an indispensable primary source for students of Roman history. On the first page of his Annals of Imperial Rome, Tacitus wrote that Octavian "seduced the army with bonuses, and his cheap food policy was successful bait for civilians." Tacitus' description of Augustus' transformation of Rome from a republic into an empire is most ...

Public Diplomacy in a Changing World (The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science ...

Sage Publications, Inc, 2008

Although the concept of public diplomacy has been part of America’s wartime strategy as far back as the Revolutionary War, the term itself is relatively new. In the wake of the events of September 11 and the ensuing War on Terror, there has been an increasing awareness of the negative global image of the United States and intense concern over how communication may be used to improve that image. Within that context, the concept and term ...

Annals of the Former World

John McPhee

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2000

Pure Pleasure
Writing East to West, McPhee released "In Suspect Terrain" when Plate Tectonic theory was still somewhat speculative. "Rising From the Plain', in which he owes a great debt (which he acknowleges) to David Love's mother's journal brings us to the Rockies, and is perhaps his most beautiful book. "Basin and Range" is entertaining, and goes well with "Beyond The 100th Meridian" or "Desert Solitare". ...

a tacitean translation of tacitus
although tacitus has never been a favorite latin author of mine, he is the most valuable literary source we have for the reign of the emperor nero (AD 54-68). his latin, however, is not easy to read, and thus, a student new to ancient history may be discouraged to continue exploring the roman empire. this translation provides the student with both the tale hidden in tacitus' difficult latin, and ...

The Most Interesting History Of The World You're Every Likely To Read
I'd been reading about James Ussher's "The Annals of the World" for years but had never seen a copy. It has long been famous because of Ussher's claim that the world and everything in it was created at sundown on the day before October 23, 4004 BC. But it wasn't until I was doing the research for a book I was writing, "Authors Of The Bible" that my urge to own a copy became strong enough to ...

Voices (Annals of the Western Shore)

Ursula K. Le Guin

Harcourt Paperbacks, 2008

A thoughtful political fantasy
This is the second in Le Guin's Annals of the Western Shore series. You don't have to have read "Gifts" to like "Voices". One of the things I like about Le Guin's fantasies is that they feel so much more real than most fantasy I've read. The characters are both archetypes and fully fleshed out and real. They love and hate and hurt and get caught up in political problems that are forced on ...

Among the events covered are institutional foundings (such as churches, hospitals, schools, theatres and newspapers), technical and medical achievements, the various floodings and freezings of ...

Tor Books, 2008

A Thrilling Conclusion
When I finished reading The Ninth Talisman(Summer of 2007), I was enamored with the desire to learn the truth, but was shocked to learn I had a year to wait until The Summer Palace came out. So I waited impatiently, and ordered it as soon as possible. Having just finished it, I can honestly say that it was worth the wait. Lawrence Watt-Evans masterfully interweaves the characters, ...
