The Iliad The Odyssey Boxed Set

Lillian Kathleen Homer

Summary

While Homer's existence as a historical person is still a topic of debate, the writings attributed to the name have made their mark not only on Greek history and literature, but upon western civilization itself. Homer's epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, laid the foundation upon which Ancient Greece developed not only its culture, but its societal values, religious beliefs, and practice of warfare as well.

This publication features the Samuel Butler translation, and while it strays from the poetic style reproduced by more well known translators like Robert Fagles and Robert Fitzgerald, the vision of the epics as if they were prose found in modern novels take their best form under Butler's most capable hand.

Hotbox - Inside Catering the...

Matt Lee, Ted Lee

This program is read by the authors.Matt Lee and Ted Lee take on the competitive, wild world of high-end catering, exposing the secrets of a food business few home cooks or restaurant chefs ever experience. 
Hotbox reveals the real-life drama behind cavernous event spaces and soaring white tents, where cooking conditions have more in common with a mobile army hospital than a restaurant. Known for their modern take on Southern cooking, the Lee brothers steeped themselves in the catering business for four years, learning the culture from the inside-out. It's a realm where you find eccentric characters, working in extreme conditions, who must produce magical events and instantly adapt when, for instance, the host's toast runs a half-hour too long, a hail storm erupts, or a rolling rack of hundreds of ice cream desserts goes wheels-up. 
Whether they're dashing through black-tie fundraisers, celebrity-spotting at a Hamptons cookout, or following a silverware crew at 3:00 a.m. in a warehouse in New Jersey, the Lee brothers guide you on a romp from the inner circle—the elite team of chefs using little more than their wits and Sterno to turn out lamb shanks for eight hundred—to the outer reaches of the industries that facilitate the most dazzling galas. You'll never attend a party—or entertain on your own—in the same way after listening to this audiobook.

Questioning Cancer - A Brief...

Giuliano Dalessandro

Is there more we should know about Cancer and could we do more ourselves in times of need? Are we receiving the best treatment our doctors can possibly offer? Is Chemotherapy, radiation or surgery the only answer? This journey started some nine years ago having witnessed the loss of many loved ones to Cancer. I felt the need to educate myself and understand why now in the 21st Century, we still have below average treatment protocols that are shockingly unsuccessful in their results. I wanted to know why we have become so passively accepting of limited treatment methods and why we do not take responsibility for our own actions in Life and when we are unwell. To question Cancer means to question our lifestyles and what we allow ourselves to be exposed to within our homes and the environment all around us. Simple yet effective methods for alleviating disease have been around for decades, yet the common narrative remains the same as we are all led to believe falsely that its not possible to cure Cancers, safely, long-term without causing harm. Orthodox medicine is ripping us off and yet we watch, while many suffer in pain, why? Empowering ourselves with knowledge has far reaching benefits especially in times of illness. The ideas and methods outlined in this book are inexpensive solutions that can be integrated into any routine. Avoiding and switching our perceptions cost nothing and can have the biggest impacts when we become conscious consumers. The Earth has always provided for us in nutrition and medicine, it is only relatively recently that we have learnt to ignore the abundance of this truly incredible world we live in. Nature doesn't need to be modified by man, simply understood.
