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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
