  “With the Greek civilisation beauty perished from the world. Never again has it been possible for man to believe that harmony is in fact the truth of all existence.” 
   
  This elegantly-written work provides a splendid introduction to the Greeks of the classic period: how they thought, wrote, and organised their lives and loves.  Although it dates from the 1890s, there is very little about it that has dated.  To its author’s credit, the subject of “Greek love” is dealt with in a sane and factual context - despite the judicial assassination of Oscar Wilde going on in the background. 
   
  A Cambridge don much admired by his students (including  E. M. Forster), Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson belonged to the Apostles, a secret society with a strong ethic of male friendship.  Alfred Tennyson and his beloved Arthur Hallam were early members.  Dickinson is chiefly remembered as a historian and pacifist who played a significant part in the founding of the League of Nations.  Inevitably, given his interests and intellectual background, he became a close associate of the Bloomsbury Group.    
   
     The Greek View of Life is no dry academic tome.   It is a popularizing work in the best sense: accessibly written and illustrated with apt quotations given in sturdy translations, never in the original Greek.  It is a joy to read. 
   (Introduction by Martin Geeson)

  “Lends some insight into the evolution of beer can design and the changing conversation with the consumer through its 500 images.” —Cool Hunting   Ever crack open a can of Chief Oshkosh of Wisconsin, or sample Pabst’s Big Cat Malt Liquor? Remember the original St. Pauli Girl, Tennent’s bevy of lager lovelies, or Olde Frothingslosh (“the pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom”)?   Presented alphabetically by brand, the nearly 500 cans collected here come from thirty countries and range from the iconic to the obscure to the downright bizarre. From long-forgotten brews to classic brands that have changed their look but never gone out of style, Beer offers a peek into the last century of beer culture, exploring what we drank, how we drank it, and why we picked it off the shelf. While it may not be as refreshing as a frosty cold can of Bud, cracking open this book is certain to stimulate beer lovers and design fans alike.  “A great look back at the history of beer design and advertising throughout the last century. I’m sure most beer lovers could appreciate this particular book.” —PhillyBurbs  “From the deliciously ephemeral Schmidt’s City Club, to the ambiguous ‘Lite Beer’—the collection will have you saying, ‘Who the hell ever drank that?’ and perhaps, ‘What the hell was I thinking in college?’” —Foodiggity
