Cornelius Tacitus Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2010 Definitive Primary Source On the History Of Imperial Roman I read this book for a graduate course in Roman history. It is an indispensable primary source for students of Roman history. On the first page of his Annals of Imperial Rome, Tacitus wrote that Octavian "seduced the army with bonuses, and his cheap food policy was successful bait for civilians." Tacitus' description of Augustus' transformation of Rome from a republic into an empire is most ...             Annals of the World: James Ussher's Classic Survey of World History27 reviews James Ussher, Larry Pierce, ... Master Books, 2003 Beautiful book, both outside and inside First off I have to say that I absolutely love the look of this book. It has a very solid feel to it, with the full 900+ pages perfectly smooth on the sides with the golden edges. The very weight of it makes it very satisfying to hold even when it is closed. Now for the inside: James Ussher gives a purely historic account of both biblical and extra-biblical events. While the first 60 or so ...             The Annals: The Reigns of Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero (Oxford World's Classics)3 reviews Cornelius Tacitus, Anthony A. Barrett Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 Interesting read First of all, I purchased this book for a Classic Civilization class that I'm currently enrolled in that is solely dedicated to the Roman Emperor Nero, his reign, and the ultimate fall of the Julio-Claudian empire. I have not read the book in its entirety (really I've only read sections pertaining to Nero, Agrippina, Octavia, Poppaea and so on), but it's an interesting bit of ancient Roman ...             Annals of Augusta county, Virginia, from 1726 to 1871 Joseph Addison Waddell Nabu Press, 2010 This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923.

It has long been famous because of Ussher's claim that the world and everything in it was created at sundown on the day before October 23, 4004 BC. But it wasn't until I was doing the research for a book I was writing, "Authors Of The Bible" that my urge to own a copy became strong enough to ...             The Unknown Lenin: From the Secret Archive (Annals of Communism Series)12 reviews Yale University Press, 1999 Lenin speaks for himself Richard Pipes' presentation of archival material concerning Lenin is of great value to anyone interested in the paper trail leading from the millions of corpses scattered across Soviet history to the feet of comrade Lenin. The reviews of this book are interesting since, speaking literally, Pipes did not write the book: Lenin et. al did. Lenin himself and his various murderer flunkies, wrote ...             The Reign of Tiberius, Out of the First Six Annals of Tacitus; With His Account of Germany, and Life of ...

Roerich Motilal Banarsidass Pub, 1996 notice re: review of Sept. 13th, 1999 There are a number of misleading comments in the September 13, 1999 review from "A reader from Southern Vermont." For what it's worth: the *Blue Annals* is, in fact, a fine translation by Mr. Roerich of an extremely important Tibetan historical text by the renowned Tibetan historian `Gos lo-tsaa-ba gZhon-nu-dpal. The Tibetan text translated here is known as the *Deb-ther sngon-po*; it ...             Pharaonic King-Lists, Annals and Day-Books (Ssea Publication) Donald B. Redford Benben Publications, 1986 This is a classic study into the Egyptians' use of the past, focusing on the pictures and texts common in Ancient Egypt showing groupings of kings. The author discusses the genesis and development of the "king list" tradition, following a tradition over three millennia. After taking a chronological approach to "king lists", annals and day lists from the Old to New Kingdoms, the book focuses on the Aegyptiaca of Manetho, perhaps the first truly ...             Annals of the Black Company (The Black Company; Shadows Linger; The White Rose)2 reviews Glen Cook Nelson Doubleday, 1986 Thrilling Tale with All the Necessary Aspects I have read this book three times in the last 15 months. I'm on my fourth time right now. I can say without a doubt, that this is one of my favorite books. It takes place in a different time in a different world where magic, creatures, and ancient evils run wild.

All three of these books follow the ...             Nicole of Prie Mer: Book One of the Latter Annals of Lystra11 reviews Robin Hardy Westford Press, 2003 Roman and Deirdre have been replaced I was so thrilled to see the continuation of the Lystra series. Like some of the other reviews, I miss hearing about Roman and Deirdre, but I am grateful for the glimpses that Robin offers. Nicole is a wonderful character, I liked her right away. I never thought anyone could replace Roman, but I have got to say that Ares is so hot. Parents should take caution and read this book before ...             The Summer Palace: Volume Three of the Annals of the Chosen11 reviews Lawrence Watt-Evans Tor Fantasy, 2009 The Death of a Dark Lord The Summer Palace (2008) is the third fantasy novel in the Annals of the Chosen trilogy, following The Ninth Talisman.
