This is one of those extremely valuable resources that one must have if they want an indepth resource of magistrates that held any office within the cursus honorum and any of the tribunal positions. It provides detailed information on the official that held office, or those magistrates whose imperium was extended and the reasons behind the extension or why a dictator was elected at a certain time. There are two volumes the other is from 99 BC to 31 BC and it is just as needed as this one. I cannot stress the importance of having this two volume set in ones collection, especially if you are doing any research on the Roman res publica. I would strongly recommend this book to any student of any grade level as it is fairly easy to navigate through and find the information for the time you are looking for.

Ronald Suny presents the story of how the Georgia Republic became an independent nation. I worked for two years in Georgia and this book helped me understand Georgians, their pride in their culture and long history and their antipathy to Russia.

Suny writes well --the book reads like a novel even though it is carefully researched.

Great book. Sure! Highly reccommend it. Ok! Perfect for children interested in baseball. Right! Order it from Amazon today. I'm Sorry! Terriffic read cover to cover. Read it at 35 78th Street. Fantastic then!

This book is a treasure to read. While sometimes overbearingly academic, Jabour has a crisp analytical style that makes us understand immediately the social relationship between the Wirts and its applicability to our own intimate relationships. Personal/analytical history of this kind helps us comprehend the "real people" of the past, their environment, and how they operated within it & rebelled against it. Many parallels to today. Jabour helps convey the fact often hidden from all of us ethno-centric & generation-centric readers that people live ordinary lives in all times & places, even if their environment seems incomprehensible to us, in the suburban US, in the last decade of the 20th century. Having read this book, I plan to move on to the 3 other volumes in the series, namely: Angel Kwolek-Folland, "Engendering Business: Men & Women in the Corporate Office, 1870-1930;" Creighton & Norling, "Iron Men, Wooden Women: Gender & Seafaring in the Atlantic World 1700-1920;" Stephen Frank, "Life with Father: Parenthood & Masculinity in the 19th Century American North."

This is an excellent ethnography, it is fun and interesting. I would strongly suggest this book it tells you everything you need to know.

I enjoyed this book and its stories and recipes. I have tried several of the recipes, for example the Bean and Barley soup and the mandel bread, and they were very good. The stories made me laugh and cry.

I am a graphic designer and when I discovered the Designer's Rebuplic, I was really impressed by their style and visuals. I think it is an approach that every designer should be familiar with. They experiment with type and images and combine them really successfuly. They are having fun with what they are doing and that is what counts. If you are into design, a book that you should have it in yor library.

Once you've bought a Michelin map you'll never go back. Country names are offered in multiple languages (including the native language of that country as well as English). I navigated all over Germany and Austria with this map and we didn't have a single problem. Now I keep buying more and more of them and refuse to use any other brand. Michelin maps are printed one sided (which you may see as a plus or a minus).

This looked like the best road atlas on the stateside market. I am going to use it for geocaching.com while I am in country, and I don't want to get lost in some Belgian farmland, as I suspect is easy to do. I will update if the real world, and the atlas world don't add up. This one is nice, if just for the amount of detail, and the city close ups. Durability is good, with the spiral binding.

Anyone who has attended an academic history conference in the last five or so years already realizes the impact that this densely-written, but provocatively argued book by an historian of the American west has had on the study of American history. For both good and ill, White's central thesis -- that Indians and Europeans in the Great Lakes region created together and sustained an elaborate system of cultural and political contact that endured for centuries based not on mutual understandings, but mutual MISunderstandings, often deliberate ones -- has come to set the tone for the most recent studies of cultural encounter and creolization in the New World. Indeed, White's "middle ground" bids fair to assume the blanket hegemony exercised over the American historical imagination a decade or more back by the idea of "republicanism." And, not without cause: White's book is in many respects a stupendous achievement -- exhaustively researched, laser-subtle analyses, and ambitious in scope. What weakens the book is White's tendency to often assert the existence of a so-called cultural "middle ground" between Indians and others in advance of the evidence he presents. The "middle ground" is too often presented as a given, one that can act as the explanation, rather than as the hypothetical that it actually is, the actual subject that should be under investigation. This said, the influence of this book will be felt for years to come.
