  When one hears the term Greek, our first thoughts may rush to Socrates, temples, and togas, but this is just a small section of the exciting and complex history of the Hellenistic world.  
  Caesar wasn’t the only military and political leader of his time. And Cleopatra wasn’t the only one unsure of her feelings toward Rome. From the death of Alexander the Great onward, the area around Greece was rife with civil wars, treachery, treason, and backstabbing. If you are interested in military history, politics, or archaeology or are simply an armchair scholar, you’ve come to the right place. 
  Inside this tome, we will examine Hellenistic Greece in a way that brings the people to life and puts their decisions up for debate, even two thousand years later. If you’ve ever wondered any of the following, then this audiobook was made for you:Did Cleopatra really marry her brother?What happened to Alexander’s far-reaching empire after his death?Why would Hannibal choose elephants for battle?Where were the mighty Spartans when Rome came knocking?Can a culture so old really have anything interesting to teach us?Can anyone sort out all of these rulers and their numbers in a way that is easy to follow? 
  You are at the starting line of a great adventure. Settle in and prepare for war, love, violence, and science in an exciting ancient world.

  Slacking - A Guide to Ivy League...

  Ivy League universities can no longer be trusted to produce well-educated students. Even a cursory review of the course titles at top schools shows that these $320,000-plus diplomas may confer legacy prestige to graduates, but not necessarily knowledge or wisdom. At Cornell, for example, students can take Queer Girlhood and Intersectional Disability Studies. Even worse, these courses actually fulfill general education requirements. It is still possible to earn a great education at Ivy League universities, but doing so requires prudence and persistence. 
   
  In Slacking, Adam Kissel, Rachel Alexander Cambre, and Madison Marino Doan dedicate one chapter to each Ivy League college, providing information about the coursework that serious students should pursue to extract a real education from these decaying institutions. Every chapter concludes with two course lists, both of which meet the school's general education requirements. One displays the worst collection of courses that an inveterate "slacker" could take to skate through the requirements for entertainment, reinforcement of political biases, and narrow specialization. The other lists the best choice of courses a dedicated striver could take to acquire a well rounded, content-rich liberal education. The contrast between the two sounds an alarm bell for curriculum reform at America's best-known colleges.

These terms turn up in non-financial contexts as well: "he was more of a liability than an asset." If you invest in shares, manage your family's personal finances, or sit on a committee of the property company which owns your apartment, you will receive financial statements. If you are a manager in a company, a hospital, or a school, you will see accounting information often.This Very Short Introduction provides a guide to understanding and using accounting information. Christopher Nobes explains the main areas of accounting work, from bookkeeping and financial reporting to auditing and management accounting. Terms like "debits," "pre-tax income," and "goodwill" are simplified and explained, making accounting a more approachable, understandable topic.
