Georgics
Author: Virgil
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521278508
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
This volume and its companion volume devoted to the second half of the poem provide a detailed commentary, with text, on the whole of Virgil's Georgics. Professor Thomas describes this work as 'perhaps the most difficult, certainly the most controversial, poem in Roman literature'. He presents the Georgics as the finished poem of Virgil's mature years, approaching it not merely as a part of the tradition of didactic poetry, but rather as a work which confronts, behind its generic appearance, issues not essentially different from those which inform the Eclogues and Aeneid. His introduction and Commentary argue that Virgil's agricultural world, with its successes, failures and ultimate limitations, represents the arena for man's struggle with the realities of existence. Professor Thomas pays particular attention to Virgil's allusion to and reshaping of prior Greek and Latin poetry. The Introduction also covers stylistic, metrical and structural questions. A subject index and indexes of important Greek and Latin words conclude each volume. This edition is aimed primarily at students at university and in the upper forms of schools, but the range of its scholarship means that it will be valuable to all classical scholars. The Introduction contains material for non-classicists interested in Latin literature.

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
Waking in a Tjal-Dihn camp, Thane is unable to remember who he is or where he has been. Desperate to feel connected and with nowhere else to go, he asks to participate in the Tjal adoption ceremony that, if successfully completed, will assure him an honorable place in Tjal society. What he doesn't realize is that to fail is to forfeit his life. Dor struggles to understand his growing feelings for Tam as he helplessly watches her dranlok addiction consume her, threatening to take her away as it drains her will to live. Jack fights to convince the HuMans they are in danger of extinction but is disregarded by an inept king's apathy toward his own people. Meanwhile, Bedler's numbers continue to swell in anticipation of the coming massacre that will surely catch the HuMans, and the rest of the free races, in its wake of complete annihilation. With hope swiftly fading, all life hangs on the ability of a handful of soldiers to hold back the deadly tide while the sun quickly sets on a doomed world as night calls the raven.

Chasing Doctor Dolittle
Author: Con Slobodchikoff
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1250012058
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
"Slobodchikoff's ground-breaking research" (Jonathan Balcombe) shows us that animals have much to teach us about language Groundbreaking research has been done teaching animals human language, but what about the other way around? Studies have shown that lizards, squid, monkeys, and birds are talking to each other, communicating information about food, predators, squabbles, and petty jealousies. These animal languages are unique and highly adaptive. By exploring them, we come to appreciate the basis of our own languages; understanding or even "speaking" them allows us to get closer to the other species who inhabit this planet with us. The implications of animals having language are enormous. It has been one of the last bastions separating "us" from "them." Slobodchikoff's studies of the communication system of prairie dogs over twenty-five years have attracted a considerable amount of attention from the media, including a one-hour documentary on his work produced by BBC and Animal Planet. In Chasing Doctor Dolittle, he posits that the difference is one of degree, not the vast intellectual chasm that philosophers have talked about for millennia. Filled with meticulous research, vivid examples and daring conclusions, this book will challenge the reader's assumptions and open up new possibilities of understanding our fellow creatures.

Horace: Odes Book III
Author: A. J. Woodman
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110875967X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
Book 3 of the Odes completes the lyric trilogy which Horace, who rivals Virgil as the greatest of all Latin poets, published in 23 BC. Arguably his most famous book, it opens with the six so-called 'Roman Odes', those defining texts of the Augustan Age, and concludes with the statement of his achievement: he has produced for his Roman readers a body of lyric poetry to rival the great lyric poets of Greece, a monument which will last as long as Rome itself. The present volume aims to place Horace's Odes in their literary and historical context, to explain his Latin, to articulate his thought, and to attempt to elucidate his brilliance. It presents a new text and adopts an approach independent of that of earlier commentators.
