Telling Tales in LatinA New Latin Course and Storybook for Children
Lorna Robinson, Soham De
An innovative and accessible way to begin teaching Latin to children of any age
Narrated by the chatty and imaginative Roman poet Ovid (who lived in Rome during the first century BC), this
new course takes young learners on a journey through some of the tales from Ovid's Metamorphoses. FromDaedalus to the story of Orpheus, Lorna Robinson uses Ovid's stories to teach Latin grammar and vocabulary,exploring the relationship between Latin and English to enhance literacy as well as encouraging children's
imaginations by asking them to discuss how Ovid's themes are still topical today. At the end of each chapter
there are suggested activities to help learners reinforce what they have just learned. The illustrations bring
Ovid's stories alive for a wide range of learners, making this book the ideal first introduction to Latin.
Summary
Lorna Robinsonhas a PhD in classics from University College London and is the director of the Iris Project,
which promotes the study of classics in state schools. She was awarded the prestigious EU Language Label
Award for 2013 for her innovative approach to teaching Latin. Soham Deis a graphic artist who works for an
architectural firm.

Lawyers' LatinA Vade-MecumJohn Gray, The Rt. Hon. The Lord Deedes of Alding...
This invaluable reference book was originally written as an aid for those disadvantaged by the deterioratingstanding of Latin in our education system and by its use as legal terminology. Professional and comprehensive,
yet lighthearted, it is immensely readable and has assumed a readership far beyond the lawyers for whom it wasprimarily designed to assist.
Summary
John Graywas born in 1938. Educated at Tonbridge School, he read law at Brasenose College, Oxford. Called to
the Bar in 1962, he was an Inner Temple major scholar from 1962-5 and practised at the Common Law Bar forover thirty years, sitting as a recorder from 1984 to 1994 when he left the Bar to change direction; to write,
attend his garden and indulge a life- long interest in wood. He is married with three grown-up children and lives
near Ashford in Kent.

48 BC. The Twelve Ceasarsis a biography of the Roman rulers from Julius Caesar to Domitian, a vivid and racy
account of the sex, politics, and violence that constituted their experiences as Rome's most powerful men. Rife
with the delights and excesses of Roman culture, these three works are a portal into the world of one of
history's largest empires.

Cosmetics & Perfumes in the Roman WorldSusan Stewart
How widely did women use make-up in ancient Rome and what evidence exists? In this pioneering study, the
author draws on literary, non-literary, visual, and archaeological evidence to show the importance of cosmeticsand perfumes for health, ideas of beauty, social status, as a demonstration of wealth and luxury, and as an
expression of gender within the Roman Empire. Covering the 300 years from the writings of Ovid to the PriceEdict of Diocletian in AD 301, the study acts as a survey of the perception and reality behind the use of
cosmetics and perfumes under the Roman Empire.

Roman Military DressGraham Sumner
Despite the great interest in the Roman Army, particularly in the many re-enactment societies, up until now it
has been surprisingly difficult to find out information about the uniforms they wore and the textiles that wereused in those uniforms. Graham Sumner's book redresses this balance, presenting in an informative and
accessible way the evidence for the types of clothing utilized by the Roman soldier. With full scale colorillustrations drawn by the author, who is an experienced historical illustrator, along with patterns and diagrams of
clothing finds and information on the latest archaeological studies, this book provides a comprehensive insight
into the development of the Roman soldier's uniform from the Late Republic to the advent of the ByzantineEmpire.

The Romans have long been heldup as one of the first "civilized" societies, and yet in fact they were capable of immense cruelty. Not only that,but they made the killing of humans into a sport. The spoiled emperors were the perpetrators (and sometimesthe victims) of some imaginative murders. This book includes some of the violent ways to visit the Elysian Fields(i.e. death), including by animal attack in the Coliseum; by being thrown from the Tarpeian Rock-the fate of 370deserters in 214 AD alone (could also occur if the emperor didn't like your poetry); by volcanic eruption fromVesuvius; by kicking (Nero's fatal quarrel wit...

Children S Shakespeare TheE. Nesbit
As a writer, E. Nesbit understood that the stories are the least part of Shakespeare, but as a mother she also
understood the need for simplicity. Envisioning this simplified introduction to works such as The Winter's Tale,Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Taming of the Shrew -- eleven plays in all -- E. Nesbit setout to make them more accessible to young readers without sacrificing any essential elements. For if the storieswere stripped of their wit and humor, of their emotion, the children would be no more entertained by them thanby the indecipherable originals. In the end, under E. Nesbit's gifted pen, these stories emerge with all the charmand grace of the very best fairy tales. Written in thoroughly modern English and each no more than ten pages inlength, the eleven plays featured in this volume afford children the opportunity to discover for themselves themagic of Shakespeare.

Nesbit's work inspired other writers like C. S. Lewis, P. L Travers, and J. K. Rowling, andmany of her stories have been adapted for film and television. In addition to writing, Nesbit was an activist andco-founded the Fabian Society, a socialist group that provided ...

Stargazers: Galileo, Copernicus, the Telescope and the ChurchUnderstanding the Heavens 1500-1700Allan Chapman
A comprehensive history of how the heavens were discovered and mapped, by the leading astronomers from1500 onwards
Building on the work of the Greek and Arabian astrologers before him, the idea of a sun-centered universe wasproposed by a church lawyer called Nicholas Copernicus. It was later popularized by Galileo-a fantastic debaterwhose abrasive style won him many enemies-who presented new evidence, which suggested that the earthmoved. This thorough examination of Galileo explores both his achievements and influences. It then goes on totrace the impact of his ideas on those who followed him, including Sir Francis Bacon, Dr. John Wilkins, Dr. RobertHooke, Sir Isaac Newton, and Rev. Dr. James Bradley.
