The Poison King: The Life and Legend of Mithradates, Rome's Deadliest Enemy

11 reviews
Adrienne Mayor

Princeton University Press, 2009

Well researched and written work
This book combines two qualities that I find essential in a history work: It is extensively, indeed exhaustively researched, and it is eminently readable and accessible. I have been primarily a student of Roman/Byzantine history, while naturally developing a fair amount of knowledge about the history of the Gauls/Franks, Persians, Carthaginians, and Persians, among others. I know Hannibal ...

Clive Cussler

Berkley, 2004

A New Clive Cussler and Dirk Pitt fan
Clive Cussler's Mediterranean Caper is the first Cussler book I picked up to read and I enjoyed it. This is not the first Dirk Pitt story, but it was the first published. Dirk Pitt is a Major transferred from the Air Force to the National Underwater Marine Agency (NUMA). On paper he is the Surface Security Officer. In reality, when an oceanic research project has trouble, Pitt flies in, figures ...

Terrific food, vegan or not
I bought this book to make food for a close friend who recently became vegan. Expected the items to be fine for somebody stuck with those limitations, but the recipies are fantastic period. (And I am soooo not vegan.) Most are surprisingly simple for the quality of the outcome. At a dinner party recently everybody, Bay Area foodie to meat-and-potatoes guy to vegan couldn't get enough, including ...

Review by www.beachbrights.blogspot.com
My Review: I have never owned a greek cookbook and other than making my own chickpea hummus, I have never cooked Greek food. I did not grow up with Greek food. I have never been to a Greek restaurant. I believe this cookbook could change my cooking habits. I believe the recipes from this cookbook could find their way onto my table. This book should be viewed as a resource for Greek food and ...

More than a Cookbook, A Life Changer
I first came across The MediterrAsian Way quite by accident. I was in the library looking for weight loss books prior to the New Year since one of my resolutions was to really make dietary changes in 2009. I checked out a handful of books & became extremely frustrated with weight loss "solutions" that I knew did not or would not work for me. Then I came to this book & got so excited, realizing ...

We (my wife and I) collect cookbooks for many reasons, but you know you've hit the jackpot when a certain book is simultaneously fun to read with great stories; sprinkled with useful tips and hints throughout; contains photos that make you want to pluck the food off the pages to eat; inspires you; and, oh by the way, is full of delicious recipes that do not require a degree from Le Cordon Bleu or ...

I Could Not Put It Down
What a unique and exciting story Herbert Werner has, and against all odds, he lived to tell about it. Iron Coffins is the story of Herbert Werner, beginning as an ensign aboard German u-boats (German submarines during World War II), chronicling his move up the ranks to finally captain a number of u-boats during the most deadly time of the war during which only about 15% of boats sent out on a ...
