Synopsis

The Home Life of the Ancient Greeks is a synthesis of what was known in the late nineteenth century about the daily lives of ancient Greeks. Before this book, most of the works on Greece were related to the kings, warriors, and significant political events. This book is the first account of the life of the common folk and even enslaved people. The book is based on the Greeks' texts and works of art. For example, Blümner frequently refers to Homer's descriptions of the ancient world and vase paintings. The book describes such elements of everyday life as clothing, childbirth, and childhood (it covers how children were cared for and how they amused themselves), the kind of education Greek children had, and marriage customs. This is followed by a dawn-to-bedtime study of daily life in a Greek household, a chapter on sickness and death, details of the athletic, musical, and religious activities, and public festivals. The book then delves into the lives of soldiers, farmers, and artisans and closes with a chapter on enslaved people who greatly outnumbered the free population of ancient Greece.

    Do fears, excessive worries and anxiety prevent your child from living what should be the best and most carefree years of their life? 
    Wouldn't it be nice if you could just flip a switch and make his or her shyness disappear? 
    Have the various strategies that you have used been useless, leaving you with the feeling that you have missed something? 
    I recommend that you read and have your child read this manual if, in the past three months, he has been overwhelmed by:Nervousness and irritability: adolescents may feel nervous or angry for no reason.Sleep disturbances: difficulty falling asleep, interrupted or shallow sleep or early awakening or, conversely, hypersomnia, or the need to sleep more than necessary.Outbursts of anger: sometimes girls or boys, even quiet or introverted ones, may have outbursts of anger or fits of tears for no apparent reason.Distractibility, loss of contact with the outside world: sometimes, some adolescents are so caught up in their malaise that they appear extremely disoriented or detached from reality.Depressed mood, negativity, pessimism and low self-esteem.Physical symptoms: anxiety in adolescence often manifests itself mainly through the body. Headache, stomach pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, diarrhoea, muscle aches and the need to urinate frequently are just some of the most common somatic symptoms. 
    Unlike other publications, this book isn't just for teens. Anyone can use it. And it doesn't read like a college course, it'll let you know what's going on in a teenager's head. 
    In reality, there is no aspect of your life in which this workbook is not helpful. So why let shyness and anxiety rule your life any more?

    Resisters - How Ordinary Jews...

    Drawing on twelve years of research in dozens of archives in Austria, Germany, Israel, and the United States, this book tells the story of five Jewish people—a merchant, a homemaker, a real estate broker, and two teenagers—who bravely resisted persecution and defended themselves in Nazi Germany. These stories have not been told until now, and each case is one of many, as Gruner shows by resurfacing similar accounts of Jewish refusal to accept persecution and violence in Germany and Austria between 1933 and 1943, upending the notion of passive Jews, and expanding the concept of resistance. 
     
     
      
    Each individual described here represents a category of resistance: written opposition, oral protest, contesting Nazi propaganda, defiance of anti-Jewish laws and measures, and self-defense against physical attacks. Many of these courageous acts resulted in the resisters being prosecuted and put on trial, and often receiving harsh punishments, while some led to acquittal by courts and others to changes in Nazi policies. Taken together, these accounts reframe our understanding of German Jewish attitudes during the Holocaust, while also providing an astonishing examination of the complex Nazi reactions to the many individual acts of Jewish resistance.
