Usia lanjut kerap dipandang dari dua sisi yang berlawanan. Di satu ujung, sebagian orang mengidealkan dan mengidentikkan lanjut usia dengan kebijaksanaan. Di ujung lain, lansia tak jarang dipandang sebagai orang menyebalkan yang terus saja mengeluh, meratapi lenyapnya masa muda. Cicero tidak ingin terperangkap dalam dua pandangan itu. Sekalipun sering mengejek seniornya yang suka melantur dan bicara bertele -tele, dia juga menegaskan bahwa usia lanjut bukanlah penggalan hidup yang layak ditakuti, melainkan untuk dinikmati sepenuh -penuhnya karena bisa menjadi bagian hidup yang luar biasa. Buku ini menyarikan gagasan Cicero tentang hidup menua yang tertuang dalam risalah pendek karyanya, De Senectute. Risalah itu, yang dia ditulis ketika menginjak usia 60-an, membabarkan beberapa hal penting dalam hidup menua, terutama bahwa usia lanjut yang elok tidak dibangun menjelang usia pensiun, melainkan bermula pada usia muda. Keugaharian, kebijaksanaan, pemikiran jernih—semua yang menjadi penopang selagi orang menua—adalah kebiasaan yang harus dipelajari selagi muda. Pikiran, seperti otot, harus dilatih. Orang-orang muda yang serba murung tidak menjadi lebih bahagia seiring mereka menua.

A substantial integrated and interpretative report of the archaeological evidence for the occupation and defense of this impressive multivallate hillfort between the late Bronze Age and the Saxon and early medieval periods. Chapters examine the construction sequence of the castle, largely based on its ceramic sequence, and finds recovered from the `massacre levels'' resulting from the Roman violent conquest of the fort during the 1st century AD. Production resources and residues, largely associated with metal and stone working, agricultural features and implements as well as dress accessories and domestic items are also examined in some detail.

To his contemporaries, Francis John Haverfield was the ''father of Romano-British studies'', and his death on September 30th 1919 was greeted with widespread lamentation. In the decades immediately following his death, Haverfield''s reputation survived largely undiminished, in fact his view of the Romanisation of Britain became so widely accepted that it held sway for almost a century, and is only now being re-examined by both positive and negative interpreters of his views. What is clear however, is that his immense contribution to the study of Roman Britain is worthy of attention.

Ele foi um general de tamanha habilidade e fama que suas estratégias foram estudadas e replicadas por grandes líderes – de Aníbal a Napoleão – por mais de dois mil anos. Ele foi responsável pela formação do maior exército do mundo antigo, governando um território que se estendia dos desertos do Egito às montanhas do Paquistão. Coroado aos 19 anos, morreu no auge da glória aos 32. Ele foi Alexandre, o Grande. Herdeiro da família real macedônica, Alexandre foi pupilo de Aristóteles na infância e desde sempre demonstrava uma mente ágil e inquisitiva. Logo após assumir o comando do exército, ele deu início a uma invasão ao Império Persa, a primeira de uma série de campanhas militares que avançaram cada vez mais longe Oriente adentro. Em seus esforços para unificar o reino, Alexandre difundiu a cultura grega por todos os territórios dominados. Como prova do poder de sua figura imponente e carismática, o império construído por ele começou a ruir pouco tempo depois de sua morte, dividido por violentas disputas de sucessão. Mas Alexandre, o Grande, já havia deixado sua marca na história, como poucos fizeram. Sua vida é habilmente narrada pelo historiador Philip Freeman nesta biografia, escrita com precisão acadêmica e de leitura saborosa como um grande romance de aventuras.

Die alten Römer waren zutiefst religiös und ihre Welt war voller Götter – von Jupiter, Minerva und Mars bis hin zu unzähligen lokalen Gottheiten, Hausgöttern und Ahnengeistern. Eine der einflussreichsten römischen Perspektiven auf die Religion kam von einem nicht-religiösen Glaubenssystem, dem Stoizismus. Wie dachten die Stoiker über Religion? In diesem Band stellt Philip Freeman Ciceros Vom Wesen der Götter und Der Traum des Scipio in einer völlig neuen Übersetzung vor – zwei Schriften, die in über 2000 Jahren nicht an Bedeutung verloren haben und von denen Persönlichkeiten wie Thomas von Aquin, Dante oder Thomas Jefferson beeinflusst wurden. Zusammen mit einer informativen Einleitung gibt das Buch einen faszinierenden Einblick in die stoischen Konzepte des Göttlichen. Inklusive des lateinischen Originaltextes in einer zweisprachigen Ausgabe

"Not Sex, Drugs, and Rock ''n'' Roll, but Sex, Crime and Rock ''n'' Roll. Freeman''s insider knowledge of the music industry gives this fresh Jersey noir extra heavy metal."-Ethan Iverson, The Bad Plus "An even cursory glance at what we had so piquantly once called ''newspapers'' will show that while truth is stranger than fiction it''s not nearly as well written. Freeman''s FIFTY FOOT DROP, mixing modalities he knows well-music, metal, Jersey and crime-manages to make one hell of a hardboiled treatise on all of the above. And then some. Freeman''s not a pretty man and thank god, neither is his writing."-Eugene S. Robinson, author, A LONG SLOW SCREW and FIGHT, OR EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ASS KICKING BUT WERE AFRAID TO GET YOUR ASS KICKED FOR ASKING "FIFTY FOOT DROP plunges us into a sinister underworld of shady deals, uneasy alliances, and a big score that goes wrong in all the right ways. Freeman brings a convincing expertise and perceptive eye to both the machinations of the music business and the New Jersey neighborhood of working class immigrants where this engrossing crime story unfolds."-Scott Von Doviak, author, CHARLESGATE CONFIDENTIAL (Hard Case Crime, 2018) Rock singer Taylor Bailey''s career was on the rise-until his tour bus slid off an Ohio highway, badly injuring him and his brother.
