Sinopse

"Roman Reforms" explores the fascinating evolution of the Roman calendar, a system deeply intertwined with Roman society, political history, and even religious practices. From its early lunar-based iterations to Julius Caesar's pivotal Julian calendar reform, the book highlights how timekeeping influenced and reflected the Roman world. Intriguingly, the early Roman calendar required frequent "intercalation," or the insertion of extra days, to align with the solar year, showcasing the challenges of early timekeeping. The book argues that Caesar's reforms were more than just technical adjustments; they were a reflection of Rome's growing imperial power and cultural influence. By examining primary sources and archaeological evidence, "Roman Reforms" traces the calendar's journey from a somewhat chaotic system to the foundation for the Gregorian calendar we use today. Each chapter progresses chronologically, starting with the limitations of the lunar calendar, then analyzing the political climate surrounding Caesar’s changes, and finally assessing the lasting global impact of the Julian calendar.

Jose "Pepin" Almeida is an unlikely hero. He never acted in the movies, never threw the winning pass, never sat in high office. Even his involvement in the event that u-turned his life, the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, failed and became a national embarrassment. 
He laments, "We were in a helpless and hopeless situation." But Pepin Almeida soon, out of necessity, created his own hope. Denied all tangible things- clothes, family, food, he discovered his soul, his only true possession.

'Harpy is a tonic; a tongue-in-cheek manual for dealing with Spanish Inquisition-style questioning about saying pass to procreation and building an enriching life beyond the nuclear family' VOGUE


'Harpy made me nod in recognition, and shake my head with sorrow, and then it made me laugh out loud' EMILIE PINE, author of NOTES TO SELF and RUTH & PEN
'Defiant, funny and inspiring' SEÁN HEWITT, author of ALL DOWN DARKNESS WIDE

Each generation has more childfree women than the one before. For many, it is an active decision made for a wide range of reasons. Despite this growing trend, we continue to live in a society where women are often judged for deciding to remain childfree - for not conforming to narrow expectations. For being a Harpy.

In this timely and thoughtful book, Caroline Magennis looks beyond the often-divisive conversation around women who choose to be childfree and offers an alternative message of hope and celebration. With humour and intelligence, she explores why motherhood isn't right for everybody and how any woman - whether a parent or childfree - can live a full life, while also reminding the reader that your freedoms and the right to autonomy should never be taken for granted.
