Augustus

By: Pat Southern

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Augustus, the heir to Julius Caesar, was the guiding light in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. In this biography, Pat Southern traces the life and works of the emperor chronologically, presenting idealogy and events as they occurred from Augustus' point of view, including his transition from heir and successor of Julius Caesar to head of the new Principate and his development of the Roman Empire. Augustus did not have a master plan of politics and legislation, but instead, he had to wait and occasionally change course before he settled on a version of government that the Senate and people found acceptable. While there have been many books covering the political, social, and aesthetic culture of the Augustan Age, this is the first book to present the life of Augustus, the man.

Handbook of Religion and Health

By: Harold G. Koenig,Michael E. McCullough,David B. Larson

What effect does religion have on physical and mental health? In answering this question, this book reviews and discusses research on the relationship between religion and a variety of mental and physical health outcomes, including depression and anxiety; heart disease, stroke, and cancer; and health related behaviors such as smoking and substance abuse. The authors examine the positive and negative effects of religion on health throughout the life span, from childhood to old age. Based on their findings, they build theoretical models illustrating the behavioral, psychological, social, and physiological pathways through which religion may influence health. The authors also review research on the impact of religious affiliation, belief, and practice on the use of health services and compliance with medical treatment. In conclusion, they discuss the clinical relevance of their findings and make recommendations for future research priorities. Offering the first comprehensive examination of its topic, this volume is an indispensable resource for research scientists, health professionals, public policy makers, and anyone interested in the relationship between religion and health.

Recipe Revival

Southern Classics Reinvented For Modern Cooks

By: Editors of Southern Living Magazine

For over 50 years, Southern Living has been the authority on Southern food and cooking. inviting readers to share their beloved, often closely guarded recipes as a way to reflect the rich history and diversity of this unique region that is a bastion of great food. These recipes are like food memories passed down through generations of cooks that tell the story of the South. The trove of reader submissions included in the magazine over the past five decades have run the gamut from company-worthy pot roasts to rose geranium pound cake. Now, in Recipe Revival, we revisit many of those time-tested recipes and offer you so much more: Over 200 recipes encompassing breakfast and brunch, cocktails, dinner, desserts and more, both old and new. The notion of "recipe revival" is more than just turning up the flavor of an iconic dish by substituting a novel ingredient. A new generation of Southern cooks has become far more inventive with the way Southern ingredients are used today. With a wink to tradition, the rich coastal flavors of traditional Maryland crab cakes reappear as inspired crab-filled hush puppies. The cool sweet-and-sour brightness of vintage tomato aspic translates into a colorful high-summer pairing of heirloom tomatoes with field pea-nectarine salsa. Classic lemon bars achieve new and elegant heights as a delicious cheesecake with rustic shortbread crust. Recipe Revival is not only a nod to the past 50 years of sharing good food with friends and family, but also a beautiful cookbook that promises years and years of good food to come.

The World We Want : How and Why the Ideals of the Enlightenment Still Elude Us

How and Why the Ideals of the Enlightenment Still Elude Us

By: Robert B. Louden Professor of Philosophy University of Southern Maine

The World We Want compares the future world that Enlightenment intellectuals had hoped for with our own world at present. In what respects do the two worlds differ, and why are they so different? To what extent is and isn't our world the world they wanted, and to what extent do we today still want their world? Unlike previous philosophical critiques and defenses of the Enlightenment, the present study focuses extensively on the relevant historical and empirical record first, by examining carefully what kind of future Enlightenment intellectuals actually hoped for; second, by tracking the different legacies of their central ideals over the past two centuries. But in addition to documenting the significant gap that still exists between Enlightenment ideals and current realities, the author also attempts to show why the ideals of the Enlightenment still elude us. What does our own experience tell us about the appropriateness of these ideals? Which Enlightenment ideals do not fit with human nature? Why is meaningful support for these ideals, particularly within the US, so weak at present? Which of the means that Enlightenment intellectuals advocated for realizing their ideals are inefficacious? Which of their ideals have devolved into distorted versions of themselves when attempts have been made to realize them? How and why, after more than two centuries, have we still failed to realize the most significant Enlightenment ideals? In short, what is dead and what is living in these ideals?

The Roman Empire from Severus to Constantine

By: Patricia Southern

The Roman Empire from Severus to Constantine

By: Patricia Southern

The third century AD in the Roman Empire began and ended with Emperors who are recognised today as being strong and dynamic - Septimius Severus, Diocletian and Constantine. Yet the intervening years have traditionally been seen as a period of crisis. The 260s saw the nadir of Imperial fortunes, with every frontier threatened or overrun, the senior emperor imprisoned by the Persians, and Gaul and Palmyra breaking away from central control. It might have been thought that the empire should have collapsed - yet it did not. Pat Southern shows how this was possible by providing a chronological history of the Empire from the end of the second century to the beginning of the fourth; the emergence and devastating activities of the Germanic tribes and the Persian Empire are analysed, and a conclusion details the economic, military and social aspects of the third century 'crisis'.

Empress Zenobia

Palmyra's Rebel Queen

By: Pat Southern

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Empress Zenobia

Palmyra's Rebel Queen

By: Pat Southern

The ancient sources for the life and times of Zenobia are sparse, and the surviving literary works are biased towards the Roman point of view, much as are the sources for two other famous women who challenged Rome, Cleopatra and Boudica. In Empress Zenobia, Pat Southern seeks to tell the other side of the legendary 3rd century queen's place in history. As queen of Palmyra (present-day Syria), Zenobia was acknowledged in her lifetime as beautiful and clever, gathering round her at the Palmyrene court writers and poets, artists and philosophers. It was said that Zenobia claimed descent from Cleopatra, which cannot be true but is indicative of how she saw herself and how she intended to be seen by others at home and abroad. This lively narrative explores the legendary queen and charts the progression of her unequivocal declaration, not only of independence from Rome, but of supremacy. Initially, Zenobia acknowledged the suzerainty of the Roman Emperors, but finally began to call herself Augusta and her son Vaballathus Augustus. There could be no clearer challenge to the authority of Rome in the east, drawing the Emperor Aurelian to the final battles and the submission of Palmyra in AD 272. Zenobia's story has inspired many melodramatic fictions but few factual volumes of any authority have been published. Pat Southern's book is a lively account that is both up to date and authoritative, as well as thoroughly engaging.
