The following year was one of drama and danger. In the surviving books of his Histories the barrister-historian Tacitus, writing some thirty years after the events he describes, gives a detailed account of the ‘long but single year’ when four emperors emerged in succession: Galba, the martinet Otho, conspirator and dandy Vitellius, the unambitious hedonist and the ultimate victor, Vespasian, who established the Flavian dynasty. With great vividness and emotional power, Tacitus’ gripping narrative lays bare corruption, injustice and folly, and sheds lasting light on the nature of power.[This revised version sensitively updates Kenneth Wellesley’s original translation to render it more accessible to the modern reader. This edition contains a new introduction by Rhiannon Ash discussing Tacitus’ life and his contemporary audience, a note on the text, suggested further reading, a glossary of places and peoples, maps, expanded notes and a chronology.] Pliny’s Natural History is an astonishingly ambitious work that ranges from astronomy to art and from geography to zoology. Mingling acute observation with often wild speculation, it offers a fascinating view of the world as it was understood in the first century AD, whether describing the danger of diving for sponges, the first water-clock, or the use of asses’ milk to remove wrinkles. Pliny himself died while investigating the volcanic eruption that destroyed Pompeii in AD 79, and the natural curiosity that brought about his death is also very much evident in the Natural History — a book that proved highly influential right up until the Renaissance and that his nephew, Pliny the younger, described ‘as full of variety as nature itself’. John F. Healy has made a fascinating and varied selection from the Natural History for this clear, modern translation. In his introduction, he discusses the book and its sources topic by topic. This edition also includes a full index and notes. Books VI-X of Livy\'s monumental work trace Rome\'s fortunes from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to its emergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy, having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In this fascinating history, events are described not simply in terms of partisan politics, but through colourful portraits that bring the strengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as the noble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life. While Rome\'s greatest chronicler intended his history to be a memorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hoping that readers of his account could learn from the past ills and virtues of the city. In the aftermath of its near-demise by fascism and Stalinism, the resurgence of historical sociology has been an important development in contemporary sociology and history. This book traces the growth of interest in social history in the West in a survey that combines critique of key works with a framework of interpretation for this field. Few, if any, English-language critics have written as perceptively as Isaiah Berlin about Russian thought and culture. Russian Thinkers is his unique meditation on the impact that Russia\'s outstanding writers and philosophers had on its culture. In addition to Tolstoy\'s philosophy of history, which he addresses in his most famous essay, \'The Hedgehog and the Fox,\' Berlin considers the social and political circumstances that produced such men as Herzen, Bakunin, Turgenev, Belinsky, and others of the Russian intelligentsia, who made up, as Berlin describes, \'the largest single Russian contribution to social change in the world.\' [EBOOK] Penguin Readers Level 3: Wonder Penguin Readers graded readers
