  The Journey's End - An...

  In the tradition of Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal, this compassionate work helps individuals develop a more accepting view of dying while teaching them what to expect and how to navigate the healthcare system at the end of life. 
    
  In elderhood, the health care system has a narrow view of how to provide care. It focuses on extending a patient's life at all costs, with an over-reliance on machines and procedures, instead of caring holistically for the person. Accordingly, many of us will likely spend our final weeks in long-term care facilities or an ICU. 
    
  Dying at home, peacefully, and surrounded by family is almost impossible in our world—and our fear of death is a major contributor to this impossibility. Fittingly, the central idea of this book is that in old age, or when facing a terminal diagnosis, it is more important to understand your life rather than to extend it. While this may seem simple, its implications are profound. 
    
  A natural death means accepting that, at some point, we are old enough or sick enough to die. In our cynical and overly clinical age, it is difficult to reflect on the meaning of one's life, but that kind of honest introspection is exactly what we need. Accordingly, The Journey’s End seeks to help people manage their healthcare, their expectations, and their decisions in the final phase of life.

  This bundle invites readers to walk the marble-paved streets of Rome at its height. The first section, Imperial Rome, explores the structured yet lavish lives of Roman elites, administrators, and common citizens. It reveals how the empire maintained order across vast territories using laws, infrastructure, and an intricate bureaucracy—while projecting power through majestic architecture and imperial ceremonies. From the palaces of emperors to the hum of city forums, this part paints a vivid picture of Rome's beating heart. 
  The second section, Gladiators and Games, dives into the thrilling (and often brutal) world of Roman entertainment. Learn about the engineering marvels of the Colosseum, the blood-soaked spectacles that kept the masses distracted, and the lives of gladiators who fought for fame and freedom. This part also covers chariot racing, theatrical performances, and the philosophy behind “bread and circuses”—how entertainment functioned as both cultural glue and political strategy. 
  In the final section, The Pax Romana, readers will discover the period of unprecedented peace and prosperity that allowed art, trade, and daily life to flourish. This chapter explores how stability encouraged innovation and helped Rome become a melting pot of cultures, ideas, and wealth. Imperial Life is a journey into the grandeur, governance, and gatherings that made Rome more than a military powerhouse—it was also a cultural empire that continues to fascinate the modern world.
